The Research Of Yunnan's Warehousing System In The Qing Dynasty

Storage as an important grain reserve system was adopted by the dynastiesin ancient China.the Qing Dynasty in summing up the experience of the past dynasties warehousing construction,inherited and perfected the system,the level of development around the storage reached a record high in history.Yunnan as the southwest border provinces,compared with the mainland,the level of agricultural development has been relatively backward,and insufficient food production.Complex terrain and the instability of the monsoon climate,making the Yunnan province.with,flood,earthquake and other natural disasters frequent,coupled with far from the mainland,mountains barrier,traffic inconvenience,making food transfer is extremely difficult.In this context,the storage system designed for grain reserves is particularly important.Yunnan warehousing in the Qing Dynasty is divided into official positions and civil positions,the official positions mainly Chang ping warehouse,the civil positions mainly She warehouse and Yi warehouse.From the time point of view,whether it is Chang ping storehouse and She warehouse,Yi warehouse have been through beginning of the early Qing Dynasty,the prosperity of mid Qing Dynasty,the decay of late Qing Dynasty,and short recovery in the late Qing Dynasty.the development of Yunnan warehousing was generally consistent with the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.ln the middle of the Qing dynasty,warehousing construction was successful,both in warehousing and grain reserves reached its peak in Qian long Dynasty.But to the late Qing Dynasty,due to political corruption,all kinds of contradictions intensified,the war continued,warehouse grain deficit,warehouse was destroyed and gradually declined.From the space,Chang ping warehouse is mainly distributed in the town,and the civil warehouse are mainly distributed in the countryside.In the regional distribution,Chang Ping warehouse and civil warehouse are concentrated in a large population,economically developed counties,mainly because of the economically developed areas of grain production more demand is greater.In addition,in some ethnic minorities living in remote counties also have a more developed warehousing system,which is mainly the Qing government attaches importance to frontier.This distribution pattern,making the Chang Ping warehouse and the civil warehouse complement each other,the regional distribution has also been rationalized,together constitute a complete food security system,to better serve the urban and rural people.It is fair to say that the construction of Yunnan warehouse in the Qing Dynasty has been a trend of historical development.ln the period of social stability,Yunnan warehousing has played its proper relief safeguard function,to a certain extent solved the poor life of the people need,is conducive to ease the sharp social contradictions,maintain the stability of the frontier.
