汉唐时期农业技术进步与农区扩展

Influence of Agricultural Technology Progress on the Expansion of the Farming Area during the Han-Tang Periods

汉唐时期是以铁犁和牛耕为代表的传统农耕技术取得显著进步的重要阶段。铁犁和牛耕在全国范围的推广和普及,大大提高了人们对土地的开垦和使用能力,从而使大量的蛮荒之地变成肥美的良田。农业生产的区域不断扩展,创造出了我们至今引以为自豪的繁盛的汉唐文明。

Agricultural technology was improved greatly during the Han-Tang periods, with cattle-drafted ferrous plough as its symbol. The nationwide extension and popularization of the ferrous plough and cattle-drafting techniques increased man's capacity of reclaimation and exploitation of natural soil and changed large version of wasteland into fertile field. Thereafter the increasingly enlargement of farmland created the prosperous Han-Tang Civilization of which we are still proud today.
