魏晋南北朝农史研究述评

Introduction of Agriculture in the Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties

史学界和农学界向来重视对魏晋南北朝期农业发展的研究,研究大致可以分为三个阶段:19世纪末至1949年的萌芽时期;1949至1978年的成型时期;1978年至今的全面发展时期。学者们研究的角度和方向也逐渐从对当时农业经济制度和技术的探讨、对古农书的整理校释,发展到将其与饮食学、社会背景、自然地理及环境气候、考古等学科联系起来综合考察,为这一时期的农史研究开拓了更广阔的领域。

The scholars of history and agronomy have always attached great importance to the research into the agriculture of the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. This research has roughly undergone three periods： the primary stage between the end of the 19th century and the year 1949; the developing phase from 1949 to 1978 and the prime time from 1978 up until now. During the early researeh stage, the scholars＇ focus was directed to the exploration of the economic systems and the agricultural techniques applied in the particular historic times, as well as to the proofreading and explaining of the ancient agricultural books. Gradually, however, the scholars have been inclined to link the agricultural research with the comprehensive study of sitology, social background, geography, environmental science, climatology, and archeology and so on, which has greatly widened the research field of the agriculture existing in this historic period.
