摘　　要：北宋钱荒是指引起产品或商品以及劳务不能正常转化为铜钱的货币缺乏,因发生在以江淮浙为核心的东南地区而具有区域性,因其影响存在着明显的阶层之间的差别而具有阶层性。东南地区经济发达,有条件向其他地区大量输出商品以换取铜钱,这是其面对中央财政对铜钱不断增加的索取还能保持经济持续发展的秘密所在。但受运销成本、商品输出地与输人地物价差变动的影响,商品运销的预期收益不断变动,决定了东南地区商品输出量不稳定,铜钱输人量也不稳定,这是东南地区钱荒产生的根本原因。The currency shortage during the Northern Song Dynasty refers to a monetary deficiency that hindered the normal conversion of products,commodities,and labor into copper coins.This phenomenon was regional in nature,as it primarily occurred in the southeastern region centered around the Jianghuai and Zhejiang areas.It also exhibited a class-based dimension,as its im-pact varied significantly across different social strata.The southeastern region,with its advanced economy,had the capacity to ex-port large quantities of goods to other regions in exchange for copper coins.This was the key to its ability to sustain economic growth despite the central government's increasing demands for copper coins.However,due to factors such as transportation and marketing costs,as well as fluctuations in price differentials between the exporting and importing regions,the expected profits from commodity trade were constantly shifting.This instability led to unpredictable volumes of commodity exports from the southeastern region and,consequently,unstable inflows of copper coins.This instability in copper coin inflows constituted the fundamental cause of the cur-rency shortage in the southeastern region.
