| The content of the contract documents is very rich,regardless of the huge amount of information contained within the contract itself and the contract.The land transaction contract of Wenyi Village in Wenshui County,Shanxi Province is a microcosm of land transactions contract in modern Shanxi.From the Republic of China,the land transaction contract in Shanxi Province has developed to a new stage.The content of the contract has also undergone new changes.The contract information is also more consistent with the era background..Wenyi Village’s land transaction contract outlines a living rural society in Shanxi Province.From the contract itself,the tax deed conceals the “key” of Shanxi’s currency conversion in the Republic of China.The contract’s four-points not only reflect that Wenyi Village is almost always a cultivator.The basic situation of the water conservancy facilities in Wenshui County is outlined;in addition,the special circumstances in the currency of the contractual transaction indicate that the opium plantation in Wenyi Village is relatively large;grape in the economic crops is an important one.The economic information behind the contract is more complicated.In particular,the three typical lending contracts in Wenyi Village show that the interest rate for borrowing during the period of the Republic of China was not as high as it was supposed to be.The predecessors’ interest in improving the subjectivity of the interest rate is alsodue to reasons;“Imports become a model law”.It is a common "model" for repayment difficulties,which can effectively prevent small farmers from losing their land and become farmers.The loan schedule of small farmers reveals that their living borrowing is far greater than productive borrowing,which further limits the development of the rural economy. |
