明代陕西逃户:徭役与环境的博弈

The Escapees of Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty:A Product of Corvee System and the Environment

明代逃户是因徭役而逃的编户,由于西北地区其特殊的地理位置和环境,使这里徭役的种类、应役频率等都呈现出与其他地区显著不同的特点,明代陕西逃户就是当时特定的徭役制度与环境博弈的产物,也复杂而深刻地改造着逃出地与逃入地的环境。

The escapees in the Ming Dynasty migrated to many places in order to escape local corvee. Because of its geographic location and natural environment, the corvee in Northwest China differed from other areas in type and frequency. The escapees were created by the socio--political system and environment of that time in history. They deeply impacted the environment of the regions they fled from and migrated to, in both negative and positive ways. In particular, the escapees contributed positively to the construction and development of their new homeland.
