摘要:

近代中国农民的生活水平问题一直是经济史研究的重点，但目前的研究多侧重于农民生活水平的整体研究，尚缺乏某一具体层面的探讨。本文从农业生产“南稻北麦”的基本格局出发，在利用近代农业统计数据的基础上，将南北方农民通过生产获得维持自己家庭生存的粮食所需的用工量进行量化比较，结果发现南方农民相较于北方农民花费更少的用工量就可以生产出自己家庭所需的粮食，从侧面证明近代南方农民的生活水平总体高于北方。

Abstract:

The living standards of farmers in modern China have always been the focus of economic history research, but the current researches mostly focus on the overall research of farmers’ living standards, and there is still lack of discussion on a specific aspect. Starting from the basic pattern of agricultural production " the rice mainly grown in the south and the wheat mainly grown in the north ", this article quantifies the amount of labor required by farmers in the north and south of China to produce food which sustain their families on the basis of modern agricultural statistics. It is found that farmers in the south can produce food for their families with less labor than farmers in the north, which proves from the side of that the living standard of farmers in the south is higher than that in the north.
