Abstract:
The academic circle has carried out very useful exploration as to when and how the Ming dynasty society transformed to “the Silver Age”. Latest studies have shown that zaoli levied silver, which being a precursor of corvee levied silver and tax reform, not only appeared in a large scale, but also resulted from the pursuit of its own interests by bureaucratic class in early Xuande period. In the early years of Zhengtong period, the policy of levied silver in the southern land taxation, which was rolled out as a result of the difficulties of distributing bureaucratic wages, expanded the previous temporary reforms and provided conditions for the establishment of silver finance system. More importantly, the reform of the communication of underlying silver circulation and the national servitude system in Jingtai period was further developed, and in a larger scope silver gradually presented a crossflow across the North and South due to the pressure of military demand and central government decision. This had promoted the formation of the tributary silver economy. During this period, silver transaction in the private market also emerged from the circumstance where various currencies existed, and gradually silver served as a main currency. In the fiscal aspect, the use of silver expanded as well, such as guarding the border, doing business, buying food, disaster relief, paying wages and taxes. The rapid development of public and private use of silver indicated a prominent trend of transforming to “the Silver Age” in Chinese society.
