清代滇黔地区的内地商人与市场网络体系的形成

随着交通条件的改善,滇黔内部各地之间、滇黔地区与内地及周边国家的经济联系日益加强,打破了滇黔地区的封闭状态,使滇黔地区与缅甸、老挝、泰国等周边国家及湖南、湖北、四川、广东、广西等省区连为一体,内地商人纷纷进入滇黔地区从事商业贸易活动。滇黔地区形成的城乡市场网络可分为区域中心市场、中等商业城镇和农村市场三大层次,构成了一个比较完整、复杂多变的滇黔地区的市场网络体系。

The Interior-origin Merchants in Yunnan and Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty and the Formation of the Market Network

With the improvement of transport conditions in the Qing dynasty, the economic exchanges within Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province and between Yunnan and Guizhou and the interior of China and the neighboring countries became more frequent, and the two provinces became more open to the outside with a closer connection with Hunan, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi of China and Burma, Laos and Thailand, which attracted more merchants from the interior of China to come to Yunnan and Guizhou for business. The urban and rural market network of Yunnan and Guizhou consisted of three levels, the regional central market, the medium-sized business town and the rural market, which was a fairly complete and diversified market network.
