明代商人传记是学界研究明代商人与商业的重要文献依据.20世纪80年代开始,学界对明代商人传记有了研究,主要集中在文献整理、文学研究与历史文化研究三个方面.然而,全面的资料搜集与整理缺位、专题研究未成系统等问题的存在,为今后这一领域的研究留下了巨大的开拓空间,诸如商人传记的分类研究、商人传记与润笔费的关系、商人传记与思想文化及文学的关系、作家群体特征等多个方面的专题研究.这些研究对于推动明代商人与商业的研究具有积极意义.%The merchant biographies in the Ming Dynasty are an important documentary basis for the academic studies on the merchants and the commerce in the Ming Dynasty.Since 1980's, the academic world has begun the studies on the merchant biographies in the Ming Dynasty.The studies mainly focused on the documentation, literary research and historical and cultural research.However, because of the lack of the comprehensive collection and documentation of materials, and lack of systematic monograph research, there is room for great expansion in this field, such as the classification of merchant biographies, the relation between the merchant biographies and remuneration fees, the relation between the merchant biographies and ideological culture and literature, group features of writers, all of which may help promote the studies on the merchants and the commerce in the Ming Dynasty.
