Abstract The development of trade theory starts from the analysis of technical difference, intending to interpret the actual connection between trade and growth. However, the neglect of technology in the development process of trade theory led to a narrow and limited explanation of benefit from international trade. Based on the need of trade theory to explain the reality, the authors analyzed the reasons for the neglect of technology and its exogenous disposal and the limitations and explored the path of technology endogens is driven by the factual economy. The authors believe that only by combining technology with factor endowment difference and economy of scale can trade theory give comprehensive and objective answers to many key questions such as the drive of international trade, variance in trade mode and dynamic trade profit, etc
