在封建地主经济不断发展的过程中,宋代的商品经济有了很大发展,形成声势浩大的全民经商形势。其经商群体的构成除职业商人外,还包括衣食国家的军人、官吏、皇室成员和享受国家优惠政策的宗教界人士。他们经商营利的行为超出职业范畴,也多为国法和传统道德规范所不容,但若将其放入中国历史发展的长时段中考察,就带有历史的必然性和合理性,应当给予一些积极评价。 During the constant development of the feudal landowners economy, the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty greatly developed, forming a massive business situation for all the people.
