Jiangxi Province has made great progress in economy and culture in the Song Dynasty."Song Regional Economy",written by Chen Minsheng,which told us that the speed of development had changed in space between Shenzong and Weizong.the fastest is the South Road of Jingxi,followed by the West Road of Jiangnan.Jiangxi is an important supplier of tea and food in Song Dynasty.At the same time,in Song Dynasty Jiangxi has shown amazing achievements in culture.There were two representatives of Classical Chinese Sports of the Tang and Song Dynasties.They were Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gong;Huang Tingjian set up a famous poetry branch of Jiangxi.It was because of the development of materials and spirits.Therefore,Jiangxi region had the possibility for the government to rescue.At the same time,the local government had the financial resources and awareness to rescue.Thus,there was a research value about providing disaster relief in Song Dynasty in Jiangxi Province. According to the statistics of disaster relief in Jiangxi in Song Dynasty,we found that the major disasters are water and drought.It was closely related to Jiangxi's geographical location.In Jiangxi there were a good many rivers,which were complex and varied.There water and drought disasters frequently occurred.Compared with two Zhes,Jiangxi's disasters in Song Dynasty were not the most,but the number of the disasters was not small,especially floods.In the South Song there were almost disasters between Shaoxi and Qingyuan every year.Thus,it was necessary to provide disaster relief.From the main aspects of relief,they are divided into the official relief and civil relief.Official relief refers to the official use of state property by the country's relief act.Civil relief refers to non-governmental disaster relief to the people's relief activities.The two parts are the focus of the article.In the ancient society which was in the charge of one,the official relief was supposed to be the main force of the rescue.However,according to my study of Jiangxi religion relief,I think that this conclusion is not completely true.In the early and middle of the Northern Song Dynasty,the official relief is absolute power.To the late of the Northern Song Dynasty,especially in the Southern Song Dynasty,It was obvious that the official relief,which was absolutely important,suffered from challenge.A large number of literature records,Jiangxi Province in a certain place at a certain time of a disaster in a number of money.Till the middle and late of Southern Song,"save the shortage of law,the only sub-advised","save the shortage of eager to persuade the political sub-Mo." Sub-advised(advised powerful House offers a free or reduced-meter relief to victims of millet in the way.),which became the most important famine relief measures. The growing role of civil relief was very significant.This actually the force of state administration was weaked.However,civil relief became more important.The government could not afford to rescue its people so that the people could get away from the trouble.therefore,Civil force could be in the charge.For the government could not save its people,of course,the effect of the govemmeng would be weaked.As a good old saying goes,"The woman whoever has milk is my mother." Relief of non-governmental forces could help people overcome the difficulties.Then the strength of civil society the right to master the local language,as a rule,the local non-governmental social forces.As a matter of fact,local community is changing, more and more mature.
