畜力集材的回归

Ancient Logging Methods in the Northeastern Forest

中国东北地区现有森林3094万公顷,占全国森林总面积的26.9%。在科技迅猛发展的今天,在如此广阔的林海中,居然回归着一种人力与畜力相互依存的传统——“畜力集材”。2004年初的整整一个冬天,我们游走于这片林海雪原,拜访了今天的“夫妻户”,见到当代的“工把头”……于是我们了解到,在东北的这片人文生态中,有些东西正在悄然改变。

Recently there has been an unexpected development in the vast forests of the Chinese northeast. People are quietly returning to lifestyles reliant on human and animal power. At the beginning of 2004, we toured the snow blanketed forests and peered into the lives of these woodsmen.
