两晋十六国荒政述评

A Brief Analysis of Calamity-Centered Politics in Jin Dynasty and Sixteen Countries

两晋十六国时期,自然灾害频繁发生,给广大人民的生产生活和社会安定带来了严重破坏,因此,各朝统治者实施了一系列积极有效的应对措施,主要包括灾前防御、灾中救援和灾后重建三个阶段。该时期的荒政在继承前代的基础上又有新的突破,呈现出自己的特点。各项具体措施的实行收到了积极的效果,但因为科学技术的落后和灾害“天谴说”的影响,也产生了一些消极的影响。

During the periods of Jin Dynasty and Sixteen Countries, natural calamities took place one after another and brought limitless damage to productive life and social harmony. The ruling classes therefore took a series of effective measures which could be divided into three stages, such as the defense before calamity, the rescue during calamity and the reconstruction after calamity. The calamity-centered politics in this period inherited from Han dynasty had its own features and each measure had some effective results. However, because of the lag of technology and influence of Calamity as God-denounce, they also brought some passive results.
