The Regional Analysis of Shengjing Area's Grain from 1821 to 1895
According to the natural environment of agricultural production,crop rotation systems,residents'eating habits,and so on,Shengjing area could be divided into five parts,including the eastern mountains,the central plains,the western hilly lands,the southern peninsula with hilly lands and the northern plain and hilly lands.The east and south are basic subsistence areas of grain,while the middle,west and north are surplus are-as,and grain production has regional characteristics.Due to the increasing prosperity of Li-aohe shipping and the reclamation policies,the most important grain exporter shifted from Jinzhou port to Yingkou port,and grain distribution center transferred to further north,as far as the place of the north of Tongjiangzi,and grain transportation and trade have regional characteristics.The grain store,which connects the grain producing area with the distribu-tion and export area,has regional characteristics.Under the long term effects of many fac-tors,such as the supply and demand relations,opening up of Yingkou and monetary policy,the regional difference of Mukden prefecture and Jinzhou prefecture is obvious in the change of grain price.
