南宋时期,随着市民贫困化现象的不断加剧,江浙城市的贫困救助日趋活跃,其救助对象包括贫民、穷民、流民等不同社会群体,救助内容涉及赈饥、救寒、助医、助葬等诸多方面,救助方式包括有偿赈济、无偿赈济、集中收养等。从中可以看出,传统社会救助开始突破原来的荒政模式,由临时性的灾荒救助转向日常性的生活救助,而且城市越来越成为官方救助的重点。但此期江浙城市的贫困救助是很完备和不稳定的,许多方面尚处于起步阶段。 During the Southern Song Dynasty, poverty alleviation became more and more active in cities of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces with the increasing impoverishment of the citizens. Its aid targets include different social groups such as poor people, poor people and migrants. The assistance covers relief of hunger, cold relief, medical assistance and funeral assistance And many other aspects, the relief methods include paid relief, free relief, focus on adoption. It can be seen that the traditional social assistance started to break through the original mode of relief from temporary famine relief to daily life aid, and the city has increasingly become the focus of official aid. However, the poverty relief in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cities during this period is very complete and unstable, and many aspects are still in its infancy.
