What was the Song Dynasty grass market? What was the impact on the economy of the time? Who was the emperor of the Song dynasty?

What is a straw market?

CaoShi is the people gathered together to exchange trade market, each region for the market has a different name, some areas of Sichuan and Yunnan called market, most of the northern region called set, some places also known as the meeting, there will be different customs throughout the country, many areas in the absence of a party will be invited to the theater troupe or other performances to the local performances. The grass market has been recorded a long time ago, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are records about the grass market, then most of the grass market in the traffic arteries or stagecoach inns around the opening of these places are relatively higher flow of people, the volume of trading transactions will also be more lucrative.

For the origin of the name of the grass market, it is related to its shape, some accounts are said to be the grass market houses are built with grass, there are some records are said to be the beginning of the grass market began to appear in order to sell forage, no matter what the name, the grass market and the market have the same value. By the Song Dynasty, the relatively fixed grass market sites formed in the previous dynasties had gathered a certain number of households, and a relatively stable settlement group was formed on this basis.

So by the Song Dynasty, many grass markets had developed into counties or towns, and those once established around the fiefdom of the grass market in the original small bazaar under the premise of the development of a large commercial area, the Song Dynasty economic development development to make a greater contribution to the development of the Song Dynasty. This kind of large commercial area is like the commercial plaza in today's society, there is a large number of people gathered a large number of people will be settled here for a long period of time, so these large and medium-sized commercial areas are basically the same as the next towns and cities.

This kind of commercial area and the traditional sense of the grass market has been very different, they are more like everyone in the contemporary city of large and medium-sized business district, is a very important part of the city, are the support point of the city's economy is an important component.

Therefore, the policy of the government department of the Song Dynasty to look at this kind of large and medium-sized grass market is to attribute them to the big city for the corresponding overall planning, not like the traditional grass market by the nearby villages and towns management methods. The Song Dynasty's management of the bazaar is far different from that of the later Tang Dynasty, where the market system was a complete separation of the residential area and the trade area, and the trade area was open to the public at a time and place that was strictly regulated by the program, and the residential area was absolutely forbidden to do business with all individuals.

Such a thing was not broken until after the Tang Dynasty, the length of the trade zone transactions will no longer be restricted, in the Tang Dynasty some prosperous areas of the trade zone can even be open to the public all night. Along with the development of agriculture and craftsmen, commerce also gained rapid development in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the regulation of trade was more pressure-free, and the grass market also gained great development indoor space.

What is the role of the grass market in the economy?

First of all, the straw market brought more possibilities for international economic trade and improved the life and consumption ability of the people. Because of the long time existence of the market, and 24 hours open to the public, so no matter what kind of groups are sometimes trading, and because of the strong support of the imperial court for the development of commercial services, people are more willing to pay for commercial services, and the quality of life of everyone has also been greatly improved. Secondly, because of the strong grass market, the commercial service won a very big development, and the court also got more tax money. The largest economic source that the Song dynasty court received was the taxes paid from all over the country.

In the process of the development of the grass market, the court of the Song Dynasty also seems to see the entrepreneurial business opportunities, the court set permissions for many tax incentives to facilitate the acquisition of more tax money to provide more and more adequate funds for all aspects of the country's development. At the same time, the country's income is raised, there is a greater level to provide more benefits for thousands of families, but also for the country's overall progress and development to create a better natural environment. Therefore, tax collectors and taxpayers have a mutually reinforcing relationship, but all of this is very much related to the development of the economy.

Song dynasty grass market and the previous dynasties have a very different form of economy, no matter what reason the court is applied to the development of the grass market, but also can not be denied is because of the existence of the grass market and the Song dynasty economic development is so strong. The development of the grass market led to a new aspect of economic development in the Song Dynasty, which made a remarkable contribution to the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty and turned the economic development of the Song Dynasty into a milestone in China's economic history.
