Study On Irrigation And Water Conservancy In Guangxi Zhuang Area In Qing Dynasty (1644—1840)

China is a traditional agricultural country,and agriculture plays an important role in China.As an important boost to agricultural production,the importance of farmland water conservancy is self-evident.The Zhuang ethnic group is the largest ethnic minority in my country,and its farmland water conservancy construction is very representative in the minority areas.The Guangxi region,where the Zhuang people live,has unique topography,climate and water resources,setting the tone for the development of farmland water conservancy.In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties,the social environment in Guangxi underwent great changes.The decline of the farming system,the gradual popularization of foreign crops,and the sharp increase in the population all put forward higher requirements for the construction of farmland water conservancy in the Zhuang area of Guangxi.This paper takes the farmland water conservancy in Guangxi Zhuang area in the Qing Dynasty as the research object,in order to provide reference for the development of farmland water conservancy in Guangxi today through the research on farmland water conservancy in Guangxi Zhuang area.This paper mainly discusses the following aspects: The first chapter introduces the background of the development of farmland water conservancy in the Zhuang area of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty,mainly from three aspects: natural conditions,historical basis and social background.The second chapter mainly explores the changes in the concept of farmland water conservancy in the Zhuang area of Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty.It is found that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty and local officials in Guangxi paid attention to the construction of water conservancy,which promoted the people in Guangxi to deepen the understanding of the importance of farmland water conservancy,which was a great help for the Zhuang people in Guangxi.The development of regional farmland water conservancy construction has laid the foundation.The third chapter mainly expounds the construction of water conservancy projects in Guangxi,including the renovation of Lingqu and Xiangsidai,the construction of ponds and weirs,and the development of groundwater.The fourth chapter mainly introduces the use of irrigation tools in the Zhuang ethnic group area of Guangxi.Various irrigation tools including buckets,continuous drums,dump trucks,drum carts,and overturned pipes have different conditions of use.The principle of adapting measures to local conditions and analyzing specific problems.The fifth chapter conducts a comparative study on the farmland water conservancy in the Zhuang and Han areas,and finds that the people in the Zhuang area have improved and developed the Han traditional farmland water conservancy technology according to the climate and topography of Guangxi,and finally formed a unique water conservancy that can adapt to Guangxi.Farmland water conservancy system based on regional climate and topography.The sixth chapter mainly analyzes the impact of farmland water conservancy construction on Guangxi Zhuang area,and finds that farmland water conservancy construction can effectively reduce the damage caused by floods and droughts,and can increase grain output,thereby promoting the population growth in Guangxi.By systematically sorting out the literature and historical materials of farmland water conservancy in Guangxi Zhuang area,this paper explores the development background,concept change,engineering construction,tool use,etc.of farmland water conservancy in this area during this period.Discovered the unique farmland water conservancy system in Guangxi Zhuang area.The emergence of this unique water conservancy system reflects the people’s idea of water conservancy adapting to local conditions and flexibility,and it also has important practical significance for the development of farmland water conservancy in the current Guangxi Zhuang area.
