清代早期确立南路边茶商营贸易的原因探析

Analysis on the Reasons of Developing Tea Trade on the South Road in the Early Qing Dynasty

康熙年间,清政府确立南路边茶商营贸易,在打箭炉设置榷关进行管理。不仅与入藏官道重心由青藏道向川藏道转变、趱湖茶入西北易马、康熙治国理政的重商思想以及西北官营茶马贸易的恢复已初显成效相关联,还与清朝边疆商业布局有密切关系,已经超出了简单的经济和集市范畴,并具有重要的政治、军事意义和深厚的社会文化内涵。

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing dynasty,the government developed tea trade along the south road,and managed the trade by setting up a customs office at Dadzido in Sichuan.There are several reasons of developing the tea trade there then:1.the route of the government officials entering into Tibet changed from Qinghai-Tibet Road to Sichuan-Tibet Road;2.Tea was brought to the northwestern areas to change horses;3.Emperor Kangxi emphasized commerce in governing the country;4.the recovery of the official tea and horse trade in the northwestern areas;The tea trade also has much to do with the Qing’s border commercial layout,and it was beyond the simple economic and market category,and it has important political,military significance and profound social and cultural connotations.
