摘　　要：近代上海是在白银通货短缺的货币环境中崛起的,以往研究较少关注上海崛起的货币因素。本文以白银通货为中心线索,论述了上海开埠初期“以货易货”的外贸交易制度,使得上海不仅成为丝茶等土货出口的集散地,也成为棉布等洋货进口的集散地。以上海钱庄为基础建立起来的金融信用体系,缓解了白银短缺对于贸易扩展的阻碍,同时使得进出口商品在上海的集散得到进一步强化,使得上海成为19世纪下半叶中国的“外贸总汇”之地。The rise of modern Shanghai was in the monetary environment of silver shortage,and previous studies have paid less attention to the monetary factors of Shanghai's rise.Taking silver currency as the central clue,this paper discusses the foreign trade transaction system of“bartering goods for goods”in the early days of Shanghai's opening,which made Shanghai a distribution center not only for the export of local goods such as silk and tea,but also for the import of foreign goods such as cotton and cloth.The financial credit system established on the basis of Shanghai's native bank eased the impediment to the expansion of trade due to the shortage of silver,and further strengthened the distribution of imported and exported goods in Shanghai.Through the above,Shanghai became the“foreign trade hub”of China in the second half of the 19th century.
