Abstract: The “rural- clan landlord” economy developed rapidly in the Yangzi River basin and especially in provinces northern on the southeast coast during the Ming and Qing periods. This essay examines the historical phenomenon using northern Fujian as a case study. The article finds that during the Ming Qing period the direct integration between rural clan organizations and the landlord economy strengthened a weakening private landlord economy. At the same time, the development of this economy impeded the normal development of class differentiation and class struggle. Consequently, it postponed the disintegration of feudal land and social relations.

摘要： 明清时期，乡族地主经济得到了迅速的发展，在长江中下游地区及东南沿海各省尤为发达。本文以闽北地区为典型，对这一历史现象作了剖析。指出：明清时期，由于乡族组织与地主经济的直接结合，使已经衰落的私人地主经济得到了强化，同时也阻碍了阶级分化与阶级斗争的正常发展，从而延缓了封建的土地关系及社会关系的解体过程。
