摘　　要：盐是人类赖以生存的基本物质之一。商代王都人口众多,对盐的需求量甚大,在当时生产和交通条件都不发达的情况下,单靠从商都之外运入,恐怕难以满足。今天的豫北地区在商代虽然比现在温暖湿润,生态环境良好,但仍然存在某些盐碱性土壤。因此,殷都食盐除了从山东、山西以及四川等地区输入外,普通百姓也可能就地取材,制造土盐,以满足自身生存的需要。Salt is the base substance that people live on. Because of the large population, the capital of the Shang Dynasty has the heavy demand for salt. With the underdeveloped conditions of production and trans portation, it＇s very hard to supply the demand by only importing from outside the capital. During the Shang dynasty, there was some alkali soil in the north of Henan province, though the ecological environment was better and the weather was warmer and more humid than today. Besides importing salt from Shandong, Shanxi and Sichuan areas, the common people may use local materials to make salt for surviving.
