包头作为内蒙古地区黄河北岸重要的商业市镇,在清雍正、乾隆年间仅仅是一个以游牧经济为基础的荒僻村庄。到光绪初年后,随着外国资本主义的侵入,包头作为一个以皮、毛交易为中心的边界贸易城市发展起来。可见,皮、毛等商品交易的发展是包头兴起的一个十分重要的原因。在此过程中,一向在中国“具有企业精神”的回族发挥了中坚作用。 As an important commercial town on the northern bank of the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia, Baotou was only a deserted village based on nomadic economy during the Qing Emperor Yongzheng and Qianlong years. By the early years of the Guangxu period, with the invasion of foreign capitalism, Baotou developed as a border trade city centered on leather and wool transactions. Visible, leather, wool and other commodity trading development is the rise of Baotou a very important reason. In the process, it always played a pivotal role in the “entrepreneurial” Hui nationality in China.
