Preliminary Studies on Chinese Financial History

在1986年和1987年，山田研究了中国历史的古代，安田研究了中期的前半期，船奈子研究了中期的后半期，寺田研究了近代。我们得到了以下结果。1.山田在前人的研究中证明了前汉早期“和本”的出现，发现了汉代限制高利贷利率的事实，并指出当时已经存在“段磨钱”的可能性很大。2.安田康成认为复利法在公元4世纪被采用，他证实，与普遍接受的观点相反，汉代的“吴朱钱”是基本货币，其中三分之二是“建伦钱”。3.船奈子以唐代国库资金为基础，编撰了《十里兵千术》。他不仅对前人的研究进行了详细的考察，指出了许多问题，而且收集和整理了大量的资料，为我们提供了研究的基础。4.曾参与“晋商”各种经济金融活动的泰田，充分利用新搜集的资料，通过对清代“晋商”在北京的立足点--“会馆”的考察，弄清了“晋商”的活动，巩固了“晋商”研究的基础。

In both 1986 and 1987, Yamada worked on ancient period of the Chinese history, Yasuda on the first part of the middle period, Funakoshi on the latter part of the middle period, and Terada on the modern period. We have got the following results. 1. Yamada, who proved the appearance of "He-beng" [GAPPON] in the earlier period of the Former Han [ZENKAN] in his previous studies, found the fact that the fact that the Han Dynasty set limits to interest rates for usury and also pointed out the high probability that there already existed "duan-mo-qian" [TAPAKSEN] at the time. 2. Yasuda, who had a strong anticipation that the compound interest method was adopted in the fourth century, confirmed that contrary to the commonly accepted view, "wu-zhu-qian" [GOSYUSEN] of the Han Dynasty was basic currency, twothirds of which were "jian-lun-qian" [SENRINSEN]. 3. Funakoshi worked on "Shi-li-bing-qian-zhi" [SYOKURIHONSENSEI?, a usury based on the national funds of Tang Dynasty. He not only examined the previous studies in detail, pointing out many problems, but also collected and classified a great deal of materials for the subject, giving us the founda tions of the research. 4. Tereda, who worked on all sorts of economic and financial activities by "Shanxi merchants" [SANSEISYOUNIN], making much of the newly collected materials on the spot, clarified their activities through investigation of "Hui-guan"[KAIKAN], their foothold at Bei-jing in the Qing[SHIN] era, consolidating the foundations of the study of "shanxi-piaohao" [SANSEIHYOUGOU].
