宋代湖南粮食输出刍议

有宋一代,湖南粮食大量输出,但区域分化明显,澧州、鼎州、潭州、衡州、永州为湖南粮食主要输出地。受朝廷政策和贸易导向的综合作用,湖南粮食主要流向京都、荆襄、邻州邻路还有鄂州、建康等地,流通范围较广。但其中朝廷征粮占主要部分,纯粹的商品粮比重较小。宋代湖南粮食能够大量输出,主要得益于粮食生产能力提高、交通条件改善及粮价合理。

Tentative Discussion on Grain Export of Hunan Province in the Song Dynasty

Hunan Province exported a large amount of grain in the Song Dynasty, which was featured by obvious regional differentiation. Such places as Lizhou, Dingzhou, Tanzhou, Hengzhou and Yongzhou were the main grain exporting places of Hunan Province. Influenced by court policy and trade orientation, grains in Hunan had a wide range of circulation,mainly flowing to its capital, Jingxiang, and adjacent Ezhou, Jiankang, and others. However, grain requisitioned by the government was the main part while the proportion of pure commodity grain was relatively small. The large output of Hunan grain in the Song Dynasty was largely due to the improvement of grain production capacity and transportation conditions as well as reasonable grain prices.
