The Research Of Commercial Food On Henan Ming Dynasty

The Ming Dynasty is the ancient society of commodity economy prosperity period. During this period the size of the domestic market to further expand and increase the exchange of commodities species, long-distance trade between regions began to rise, making the town’s economy greatly prosperity. However, in the absolute productivity of agricultural production for the ancient traditional society, circulating in the market is the most important commodity grain, grain size commodity rate is an important indicator to measure changes in the commodity economy. This is a long-term agricultural population majority Henan in particular. So food commodity research is to understand Henan Ming Dynasty commodity economy has played an important role.Meanwhile, commodity food issues involving its production, marketing, distribution and allocation of such a non-farm economic factors are the most important ways of providing the market with grain. Its health and regional economic development in Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty has a inextricably linked. Should to explore the entire food market by commodity food production, through food markets to understand the flow of food and understand the impact of commodity grain of the social economy in circulation, is more academic value.Finally, the paper is divided into four parts:The first part is the Ming Dynasty commodity grain production and development. Commodity production and circulation of ancient society of food products is based on agricultural production and the development of rapid, it is the social economy is the most important part. After the restoration of the early Ming development, rapid increases in food production in Henan, and even beyond any previous era. Increase productivity and expand social acreage, so this has been the Ming Dynasty profit for the purpose of food production and exchange of more and more. This is the commodity grain production to food production, and this process is self-sufficient by the traditional economic model to a commodity economy by both parties jointly determine the conversion process. The second part is the Ming Dynasty and the food market. Ming Dynasty grain market system is more robust, there is a greater base of the villagers in order to meet the needs of primary grain market to rely on the middle of town food distribution market, and national senior grain transport market. The communication links between these markets are relying on water transport, land transport such strong transportation system. Convenient transport network is linked at all levels on the basis of the grain market. Although the Ming Dynasty has three food markets in the form of complete, but we should also be clear that the lack of such Yintianfu Ming Dynasty in Henan, Peking, Wuchangfu and other national food center market. Barely words, it can still be compared to only Kaifeng. So, overall, Ming Dynasty grain market system lacks mature senior national central food market, food chain the highest part of the transaction is not developed, although it caused grain output in Henan province Quefei grain trade set turn powerhouse characteristics.The third part is the grain circulation Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty is the grain to meet domestic demand in Henan province have exported. Circulation base in Henan have a complete storage system, a complete storage system is an extension and expansion of the breadth of the grain trade. Grain trade Henan Province is mainly due to regional differences in industrial structure grown in circulation, and Foreign Trade is involved in two major stops and foreign transportation. However, due to the participation of a wide range of grain circulation, and can not guarantee the food is the food trade surplus of small farmers. While not the same degree of regional economic development, which also determines the Ming Dynasty grain circulation is limited.Overall, innovation point "Ming Dynasty commodity food research" thesis is this: in the economic history of the Ming Dynasty in the research study on the socio-economic impact of commodity food combining is inadequate, lacking a comprehensive study between the two and exposition. So in Ming Dynasty as the main entry point for food and articles, analyzes the commercialization of food production and food market channels, as well as the way of trade and the size of the entire region related factors, and combined with the overall level of regional economic development in Ming Dynasty, explore the impact of commodity grain of society and economy.
