闽粤边客家地区一贯被认为是经济“落后”、“保守”的山区。事实上,自明中叶以来,在全国商品经济发展的影响下,这一地区的经济发展出现了市场化的趋势,商品流通日趋活跃,城乡市场日渐繁荣,专业市场相继出现,新兴市镇逐渐崛起。但是,这一地区商品经济的发展并不是建立在生产力发展与变革的基础上,而是建立在商业活动的基础之上,其经济发展的深度和广度都是有限的。 The Hakka area between Fujian and Guangdong has always been regarded as a mountainous area with “backward” and “conservative” economy. In fact, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, under the influence of the development of the national commodity economy, the economic development in this region has emerged as a market-oriented trend. Commodity circulation has become increasingly active. Urban and rural markets have been booming. Professional markets have emerged and emerging markets have been gradually emerging. However, the development of commodity economy in this region is not based on the development and reform of productive forces but on the basis of commercial activities. Its economic development has a limited depth and breadth.
