晚清浙江的鸦片种植

Opium Cultivation in Zhejiang Province in the Late Qing Dynasty

晚清浙江鸦片种植情况因国家政策的变动而相应变化。道光朝的禁烟运动与浙江山区玉米禁种法令促使部分鸦片开始从沿海向山区转移。咸同之后,随着禁烟法令的松弛,沿海的鸦片种植面积迅速扩大并接近饱和;同时因战乱破坏,山区大量招致客民垦种,以至浙江鸦片种植地域范围随之延伸。鸦片种植面积的增加,致使农村丧失了部分劳动力,并侵占了其它作物的种植区域,对农业发展造成了严重影响。

The situation of opium cultivation in Zhejiang province in the late Qing Dynasty changed accordingly with the change of national policy.The anti-smoking campaign during the Daoguang Period and the corn seed ban in the mountainous areas of Zhejiang province prompted some opium to be transferred from the coastal areas to the mountainous areas.After Hamtung,with the relaxation of anti-smoking laws,the coastal opium cultivation area rapidly expanded and approached saturation;At the same time,due to the destruction of war,a large number of people in the mountainous areas have been reclaimed and planted,leading to the extension of the opium cultivation area in Zhejiang province.The increase of opium cultivation area has led to the loss of part of rural labor force and encroached on the cultivation area of other crops,which has had a serious impact on agricultural development.
