两周时期齐国盐业小考

A Study on the Salt Industry in the State of Qi in the Zhou Dynasties

齐国是两周时期重要的诸侯国之一,因地处渤海之滨,传统小农经济发展极为受限,渔业和盐业成为齐国经济的支柱产业。从周初建国开始,齐国利用得天独厚的海洋资源优势发展盐业,通过内政与外交两种方式,完成了对盐业的国家垄断管理与向外倾销,齐国经济迅速发展。与此同时,齐国通过征服周边产盐小国,进一步加强了对盐业的垄断,实现了富国强军的政治目标。

As one of the important states in the Zhou Dynasties,Qi is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea and its economic development is greatly limited.Fishery and salt industry are its main industries.Since the beginning of the dynasty,the State of Qi has taken advantage of its unique marine resources to develop its salt industry.Through internal policies and external exchange,it has realized the state monopoly management and the dumping of salt into other countries,which leads to the rapid economic development of the State of Qi.Meanwhile,by conquering the small salt-producing countries around,Qi has further strengthened the monopoly of the salt industry and achieved the political goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army.
