论元代城市及商业的发展

The development of city economy in Yuan Dynasty

元代的城市繁荣和商业发展,是有赖于规模空前的统一局面,对外关系的开拓以及畅达四方的水陆交通。从而为中外商旅提供了"适千里者如在户庭,之万里者如出邻家"的优越客观环境。同时,也是与处于统治地位的蒙古游牧贵族和色目上层,历来注重商品交换的"重商"观念分不开的。蒙元统治者采取一些相关举措,促进商品流通。对外贸易也采取"往来互市,各从所欲"的开放态势及低商税政策,促进内外贸易的开展。随着商品流通的发展,无论中原抑或边疆地区,市镇较之宋、金时代皆有显着的发展变化,为商旅服务的客栈迅速兴起,市井生活也呈多元化。
