马端临的《文献通考》是一部着重叙述历代典章制度沿革的分类通史。它以《通典》为蓝本而在选材范围和规模上都超过了《通典》。如《通典》在经济史方面仅有《食货典》一类,而《文献通考》里却将它细分为田赋、钱币、户口、职役、征榷、市籴、土贡、国用等八考。这反映了他对经济的重视,从而保存了大量经济史的资料,补充了正史之不足。其中《土贡考》,可以说是一部任土所宜,贡物皇室的沿革史。读《土贡考》,既看到了土贡制度的历史沿革,也看到了伟大祖国各地丰富的土特产;既反映了统治阶级的贪婪本性,也反映了劳动人民身受的痛苦。 Ma Duanlin’s “Literature Examination” is a general history of the classification of historical dynasties. It is “Tongdian” modeled on the scope and size of the selection of “Tongdian”. Such as “Tongdian” in the economic history of only the “food Code” a class, but “literature pass” but it is divided into land tax, coins, account, Eight national exams. This reflects his emphasis on the economy, thus saving a lot of information on economic history, to supplement the lack of official history. Among them, “Tugong test” can be said to be a local history, royal tribute tribute history. Reading the “Tugong test” not only saw the historical evolution of the Tugong system, but also saw the rich native products throughout the great motherland. It not only reflected the greedy nature of the ruling class but also reflected the suffering of the working people.
