本文采用“过程-事件分析”策略,对清中叶温州因粮食危机引发的骚乱进行了透视,发现:政府“地主政权”的角色扮演加剧了危机的严重性;宗族组织不是由于其慈善功能,而是由于其本身具有的生存理性和安全理性起到了社会“减震器”的作用,从而恢复了社会秩序。我们必须充分估计宗族在今天的社会治理中所具有的地方政治意义。

This paper uses the “process-event analysis” strategy to analyze the riot caused by the food crisis in Wenzhou in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It is found that the role played by the government “landlord regime” exacerbates the seriousness of the crisis; the clan organization is not due to its charitable function, Because of its own existence rationality and safety rationality, it played the role of “shock absorber” in society and thus restored the social order. We must fully assess the local political significance the clans have in today’s social governance.
