甘青地区由于历来受自然地理环境的约束,一直以来地方经济中畜牧业经济占很大比重,明清时期一度盛行养马业,茶马贸易更为普遍。随着农区经济的日益发展,农牧之间彼此开始满足互补需求。民族之间以物品交换等形式进行的贸易,使得双方彼此的贸易形式趋向多样化,商业呈现一片繁荣。 Due to its natural and geographical environment, the green economy in Gansu Province has always occupied a large share of the economy of livestock husbandry. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the horse-breeding industry was once prevalent, and the trade between the tea-horse trade was more common. With the development of the economy in rural areas, farming and animal husbandry began to meet each other's needs. The trade among ethnic groups in the form of goods exchange and the like made the two sides trade in different forms and diversified with each other, and the business enjoyed a booming prosperity.
