宋代铜钱铸造业的盛衰与铸钱成本变动
Study on the Vicissitude of Copper Cash Casting and Cost Change in Song Dynasty
摘要
【中文摘要】宋代铜钱铸造业由宋初开始逐步发展 ,到熙丰年间达到最盛 ,此后便呈现出衰落趋势 ;而铸钱成本不顾官府种种降低它的努力 ,却随着物价变动呈现逐渐上升趋势。也就是说 ,铸钱业兴盛时期 ,铸钱成本低 ;而铸钱业衰落时期 ,铸钱成本高。很明显 ,铸钱成本变动与铸钱业盛衰有不可分割的联系 ,而这主要是由于官府铸钱的赢利目的引起的 ,但由于赢利不是官府铸钱的惟一目的 ,导致二者之间的这种联系不是完全的正相关关系。【英文摘要】In Song dynasty,copper cash casting develops gradually and reachs prosperity during xining and yuan feng period,after this,takes on the trend of declining;the cost of copper cash casting rises gradually owing to rising Price in sPite of feudal official's efforts.So to speak,copper cash casting develops,the cost is low;it declines,the cost is high.Apparently,there is a kind of indiscerptible relation between them,this is caused mainly by feudal official's profit\|making aim,but profit making is not the only aim of casting copper cash ,this causes the relation not an absolute positive correlativity.
