论晚宋以后绍兴地区传统经济衰落的原因

绍兴地区曾是浙江省开发最早、最发达的地区,从南宋中晚期开始,因为人地矛盾突出导致了自然资源过度开发和产业结构的畸形发展,绍兴经济逐步走向衰落。绍兴传统经济的兴衰说明,一个国家或者地区,必须处理好经济发展、资源开发和人口增加三者之间的关系,开发出自己的优势产业和核心产品,否则就会落伍,甚至只能出卖劳动力和进行劳务输出。这一点,对于当代浙江以及其他地区特别是中西部地区的资源开发和商品生产,仍然具有强烈的借鉴意义。

Of the Causes of the Economic Decline in Late Song Shaoxing

Shaoxing,the first developed and at one time the most developed area in Zhejiang Province,experienced a gradual economic decline beginning from the late Southern Song period.This is because over population and the shortage of land resulted in the over-exploitation of its natural resources and the deformed structure of its industry.The rise and decline of the traditional economy in Shaoxing demonstrated that the relationship between development,natural resources exploitation and population increase must be properly handled to develop its own superior industry and core products,or else it will lag behind,or worse,it will only supply labor forces or fall into a labor exporter,be it a country or region.This lesson is of great significance for today's Zhejiang and other districts,especially for China's inland districts and West,regarding their natural resources exploitation and commodity production.
