From the early 20th century to the eve of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, Weixian was one of the most important centers of American-seed tobacco cultivation and cotton handweaving industry in China. These two economic activities became the major pillars of Weixian's local economy since the county was subsumed to Qingdao's trading system after the opening of Qingdao as a treaty port and the completion of the Qingdao-Jinan Railway. This study analyzes Weixian's modern economic system characterized by the symbiotic interrelationship between merchant capital and the small-scale peasant economy under the influence of foreign capitalism which manifested itself in the organization of the two major economic enterprises in the locale. Part One presents the background of Weixian's socioeconomic transformation since the late 19th century. Part Two and Part Three discuss in detail the production and marketing of tobacco leaf and handloom cloth respectively.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a From the early 20th century to the eve of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, Weixian was one of the most important centers of American-seed tobacco cultivation and cotton handweaving industry in China. These two economic activities became the major pillars of Weixian's local economy since the county was subsumed to Qingdao's trading system after the opening of Qingdao as a treaty port and the completion of the Qingdao-Jinan Railway. This study analyzes Weixian's modern economic system characterized by the symbiotic interrelationship between merchant capital and the small-scale peasant economy under the influence of foreign capitalism which manifested itself in the organization of the two major economic enterprises in the locale. Part One presents the background of Weixian's socioeconomic transformation since the late 19th century. Part Two and Part Three discuss in detail the production and marketing of tobacco leaf and handloom cloth respectively.
520 $a As revealed in this dissertation, Weixian's local economic system signified a form of dependent and stagnant commercialization of agriculture and manufacture. While Japanese and British-American capital exerted considerable effect on the county's new economic activities, foreign factors did not change the existing production structure too much. As long as a great number of surplus population with low opportunity cost existed in the countryside and no technological breakthroughs were necessitated, the small peasant family would persist as the basic unit of production, providing merchants and foreign capitalists with cheap labor. Taking the advantage of the economical production system of the small family farms and facing keen competition from foreign enterprises, local merchants had little incentive to invest in the field of production. Although Weixian experienced increased commercialization in agriculture and its handicraft production proceeded to the putting-out stage in the 20th century, this change did not lead to a pervasive and dynamic development of capitalist farming and workshop or factory manufacture of textile products.
