摘要
自秦汉以至清代,我国每石皮粮(如南方的稻谷,北方的粟谷、高粱)的价格为:汉代30—130钱;魏晋南北朝250—500文;初唐至盛唐50—200文,唐后期200—400文;北宋200—700文,南宋1000—1500文;明初250—300文,明中后期400文。清代顺康之际300—800文,康乾时期1000—1600文,嘉道至清末2000文以上。总体而言,各个朝代的前期尤其是初唐、盛唐和明代,经济繁荣,政治鼎盛,此时的粮价格外低廉平稳,人们多有谷贱伤农之叹。汉初每石皮粮三四十钱,明清初期均为300文上下。由于明清的斗桶比汉代的大四倍,因此,经历近二千年,粮价实际变化不大。此外,粮食地区差价很大,大城市与小城镇相差悬殊。
From the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty,the grain price per dan is as follows:Han,30-130 coppers;Wei,Jin and the Six Dynasties,250-500;the Early and Middle Tang,50-200;the Northern Song,200-700;the Southern Song,1000-1500;the Early Ming,250-300;the Middle and Late Ming,400; the Early Qing,300-800;the Kangxi and Qianlong Regimes,1000-1600;the Late Qing,over 2000.In the earlier stage of every dynasty,especially of the Tang and Ming,the grain price,thanks to the prosperity both in economy and politics,was relatively low and stable and lots of people complained that the low price had infringed upon the interests of the peasants.Since the dou measure in Ming and Qing dynasty was four times bigger than that in Han dynasty,the grain price,in fact,changed little during the 2000 years.
