摘要
在对影响传统中国货币行用的若干理论关系进行澄清的基础上,本文重新审视了明代货币体系的“白银化”,认为它并不纯粹是钞法、钱法失败的产物,而是由宋代以前传统的铜钱体制向银、钱、钞并行的多元格局转变过程中的波折。同时,明代的财政白银化对民间的白银行用虽然有挤出效应,但也增强了白银的货币属性,存在不可忽视的溢出效应。因此,白银化和货币化是明代经济中两个并不对立乃至可以相互促进的趋势,而由白银化推动的货币化最终为货币多元化在清代的成熟提供了条件,货币深化以及与之相伴的金融发展也揭示了明清经济正逐渐进入一个不一样的历史时期。
This paper discusses some basic factors affecting the use of currency in traditional China,and re-examines the silverization in the monetary system in the Ming Dynasty.It was an interlude in the transformation from the traditional copper system before the Song Dynasty to the pluralistic pattern composed of silver,copper coin and banknote rather than a product of the failure of policies about paper money and copper coins.In this process,financial silverization pushed the monetization of silver and strengthened the nongovernmental use of silver,as its spillover effect exceeded the crowding-out effect.Thus,silverization in the Ming Dynasty was not opposite to monetization.Moreover,monetization accompanying silverization provided conditions for the monetary system returning to the equilibrium in the Qing Dynasty.Monetary deepening and financial development according to the monetary transition showed a different stage in Chinese economic history.
