The rulers and people with breadth of vision in the Song Dynasty realized that the grain problem was related to social stability,national economy and people's livelihood.Then they put forward a series of macroeconomic regulation counter-measures to solve grain problem.They paid great attention to the market orientation of grain macroeconomic regulation,advocat-ed the utilization and development of private grain traders,opposed imposing restrictions on grain prices,supported the free cir-culation of grain,and called for a harsh crackdown on hoarding.The thoughts on macroeconomic regulation of grain in the Song dynasty has many implications for today's society.The way of macroeconomic regulation and control should keep pace with the times.The macroeconomic regulation and control should adhere to the market orientation,establish a unified market,promote diversification and strengthen related laws and regulations.To improve the grain macroeconomic regulation and control,we should reduce administrative interference,follow the market economy rules,eliminate regional market blockades and protection-ism,cultivate diversified entities in the grain market,and improve grain market regulation and legislation.
