我认为山西商人的活跃已有相当的历史。尽管我手头资料并不太充分,但我想起码在宋代,山西商人就开始活跃。不过由于资料的限制,我的研究主要限于明代的山西商人。 应该说山西商人主要活动时期,或者说最活跃的时期,还是从明代中叶以后以致于清代末叶。从这一点上说,我研究山西商人只研究明代的山西商人还是不完全的,或者说只作了一半。 我研究山西商人的起点,是继承藤井宏先生关于新安商人研究的论文和论点的。也就是说我想研究的对象是山西商人,要求达到的目的同他一样,希望能掌握山西商人的实体,解决些实质性问题。尽管是这样,我觉得在方法论上,藤井宏先生的方法是应该批判的。
I think the activity of Shanxi businessmen has a considerable history. Although I do not have enough information at hand, but I think at least in Song Dynasty, Shanxi businessmen began to be active. However, due to data limitations, my research was limited mainly to Shanxi merchants in the Ming Dynasty. Should be said that the main period of Shanxi businessmen activities, or the most active period, or after the middle of the Ming Dynasty that the end of the Qing Dynasty. From this point of view, I study the Shanxi merchants only to study Shanxi merchants of the Ming Dynasty is still incomplete, or only half done. The starting point for my study of Shanxi businessmen is the succession of Fujii Hiroshi’s thesis and arguments on the research of Xinan businessmen. In other words, I want to study the subject of the Shanxi businessmen, the same purpose as he wants to achieve, hoping to grasp the entity of Shanxi businessmen to solve some substantive issues. In spite of this, I think that in methodology, Mr. Fujii’s method should be criticized.
