发展逻辑与路径转化:近世长江下游地区经济发展动力的历史分析

明清时期长江下游地区通过劳动分工、生产专业化、商品化,依靠不断扩大的商品市场,在“斯密型动力”推动下有效缓解了日益严峻的经济压力,开启了经济转型的进程.通过转变,该地区的经济商品化程度和工业化程度都有明显的提高.然而,这种“斯密型动力”和生产“过密化”愈发展,对产生工业革命的负面影响就愈大、阻碍性就愈强.事实证明,这种早期的农村工业化并不必然导致近代工业化,长江下游地区(乃至全国)也并不存在一个类似于西方工业革命的光明前景.

Developing Logic and Converting Path:A Historical Analysis on the Economic Development Impetus of the Lower Yangtse Region in the Modern Times

At the lower regions of the Yangste River,the local economic stress was effectively relieved and the economic transformation was unsealed via work division,production specialization,commercialization and continuous market expansion under the driving force of Smithian Growth in the Ming and Qing dynasties.Through such a transformation,the economic commercialization and industrialization were remarkably raised to a new level.However,the further the Smithian Growth and the over-intensification of production grew,the more stronger the negative impact on the industrial revolution became.This fact showed that the early stage rural industrialization had not inevitably led to the modern industrialization,nor there existed a so-called promising sight similar to the western industrialization in the lower regions of Yangtse River(even in the whole country).
