两汉时期“三河地区”与西北经济往来述论--以汉简为中心的考察

Economic Exchanges between Sanhe Area and Northwest China in Han Dynasty--An Investigation Centered on Bamboo Slips of Han Dynasty

西北汉简当中有很多珍贵的名籍资料,对于来往人员的信息记载详细。从这些名籍资料来看,来往于西北地区的人员当中三河籍的占据了很大比重。这说明三河地区与西北地区之间有着频繁的区域联系,这种联系带有明显的经济目的。两个相距千里之遥的地区之间能够产生经济联系的原因主要与四个因素有关:三河地区繁荣的商业经济和经商传统是实现区域经济联系的内在驱动力;三河地区发达的手工业经济和大量的手工业者能够为西北地区带去宝贵的资源;大量到西北地区“占田”的人员带动了两区域间农业经济的沟通;两地区地理位置的特殊性和优越性也是实现区域经济联系的重要条件。

There are a lot of precious books and records in the bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty in northwest China, which recorded the information of the people who come and go in detail. From these data, Sanhe nationality accounted for a large proportion of the people traveling in northwest. This indicates that there were frequent regional links between Sanhe area and northwest China, which has obvious economic purposes. There are four main factors behind the economic connection between two areas thousands of miles away. Firstly, the prosperous commercial economy and business tradition in the Sanhe area were the internal driving force for realizing the regional economic connection. Secondly, the developed handicraft economy and a large number of handicraftsman could bring valuable resources to the northwest region. Thirdly, a large number of people " occupying land" promoted the communication of agricultural economy between the two regions. Finally, the particularity and superiority of the geographical location of the two regions were also the important conditions for realizing the regional economic connection.
