驰名全国的义乌小商品市场,座落在浙江义乌市政府所在地稠城镇的东部。这里,以“小、多、快、廉”的商品特色,优质有序的服务设施,万商云集的经营气势和数额巨大的商品成交量成为众口皆碑的一颗市场“明珠”。 据义乌市工商局市场管理科的吴望南同志介绍,这个市场的发展由小到大经历了四个明显的阶段,人们习惯地将这四个时期称为“四代市场”。 The Yiwu Small Commodity Market, which is well-known throughout the country, is located in the east of the thick town of Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. Here, with the characteristics of “small, multi, fast, and inexpensive” products, high-quality and orderly service facilities, business momentum gathered by thousands of merchants and a huge amount of commodity turnover have become a “mirror” of the market. According to Comrade Wu Wangnan from the Market Management Section of the Yiwu Commerce and Industry Bureau, the development of the market has gone through four distinct stages from small to large. People customarily refer to these four periods as “four generations of markets.”
