Rural commercialization in the Yangzi Delta during China's modernization was a paradoxical process, in which modern elements developed along with the involution of traditional factors. From the middle imperial period on, rural markets in the Delta expanded first with the reclamation of the area and then with the growth of local commodity production, and formed a local-based traditional market system. After the appearance of modern capitalism in China, a new process of commercialization powered by urban industrial development emerged, and finally met the traditional process at the Delta countryside. Rural markets became a meeting point of the traditional rural system with urban capitalism, the peasant household economy with modern challenges, and local communities with the outside world. Thus, the market system in the Yangzi Delta in fact comprised two sectors: the modern capitalist and the traditional non-capitalist. The rural production for urban and international markets made peasants' production more or less attached to modern capitalism, but rural consumption was still relied on traditional local markets. The rural-urban trade followed an one-way direction, and rural communities did not get necessary modern inputs from urban capitalist development as a return. As a result, rural life was still based on the traditional self-supplied local economy. Modern capitalism affected the rural market system mainly at its modern sector, but the force operating the rural markets was traditional commercial capital. Apart from its relationship with urban capitalism, the traditional commercial capital was closely connected with land ownership and usury. It played double roles, introducing some modern factors while obstructing the whole market system from capitalist development. Different from existing models, my studies emphasizes the multiplex feature of the system and the interactions between the modern and traditional sectors, which I believe is the key to understanding the role of rural markets in China's modernization.
