Qing dynasty economy

agriculture

In the Qing Dynasty, reclamation of wasteland, emigration to frontier areas and promotion of new crops were adopted to increase production. Due to the promotion of domestic and foreign trade, economy and agriculture are also more developed. In the early Qing Dynasty, in order to alleviate class contradictions and implement the policy of rewarding land reclamation and reducing taxes, the social economy of the mainland and frontier areas developed to some extent. By the middle of the eighteenth century, the feudal economy of the Qing Dynasty had reached a new peak.

There is a saying that the increase of economy and population in Qing Dynasty is mainly attributed to the American crop sweet potato, and the so-called "Kanggan Prosperity" is called "Sweet Potato Prosperity". In this way, the centralized autocratic system is more rigorous, with strong national strength and stable order. In the early Qing dynasty, vicious policies such as enclosure and land occupation were vigorously promoted, which greatly destroyed the economy of the Central Plains. Emphasis on agriculture and restraint on commerce have restricted the development of capitalism.

manufacture

In the handicraft industry, the slave system of craftsmen was changed to the tax service system. Textile and porcelain are the most important industries, with cotton weaving surpassing silk weaving. Porcelain is painted on porcelain tires with enamel, and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi is the center of porcelain.

business

In Qing dynasty, commerce was developed, and it was divided into ten business gangs. Among them, Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants dominate China's financial industry, while Fujian merchants and Chaozhou merchants master overseas trade. The Qing Dynasty once implemented the policy of sea ban, and it was not until the occupation of Taiwan Province Province that the coastal trade was slightly active, and the currency adopted the dual standard of silver and copper. In the late Kangxi period, in order to prevent rebellion, the policy of banning mines was implemented, which hindered the development of industry and commerce to some extent.
