In ancient societies, "food" and "goods" have always played a crucial role, and the Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle begins by emphasizing the status of these two under the rule of the holy king. This article will focus on the government-run handicraft industry in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, with mining and metallurgy, textiles, and Shangfang artifacts as the starting point**.
During the turmoil of the late Han Dynasty, the destruction of the city led to the collapse of the government-run handicraft industry. Cao Cao made efforts to restore the official monopoly on salt and iron, and set up "Si Jin Zhonglang General" to coordinate mining and metallurgical production, such as "Si Jin Du Wei" and "Si Yan Du Wei" have a clear division of labor. However, the desolation of cities and the drastic decline of the population led to the exodus of artisans, and the mining and metallurgical industry faced great reconstruction and consolidation.
Compared with the mining and metallurgical industry, the use of textiles is relatively simple, and the official control of them is relatively relaxed. In the ninth year of Jian'an, after Cao Cao captured Ye County, he implemented a family-based textile tax. In addition to small private workshops, there are also large government-run workshops. In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao forced Emperor Xian of Han to marry a nobleman, and the gifts included a huge number of dyed fabrics, apparently produced by the government-run workshop.
The main uses of ancient metal products include military tools, agricultural tools, currency and monk utensils. The results of the mining and metallurgical industry were mainly used to make weapons, while textiles met the basic needs of life. The mined metal was mainly used to make weapons, and the circulation of copper coins was hindered. The monetary system of the Three Kingdoms period was complex, and the production of Shangfang artifacts also experienced turmoil.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the government-run handicraft industry was severely tested by the destruction of cities and the sharp decline of population, but it was gradually rebuilt through the efforts of rulers such as Cao Cao. Mining and metallurgy, textiles and Shangfang artifacts played an indispensable role in the society at that time, providing a solid foundation for social stability and development.
