Floods in Modern Times Guangxi and Social Relief

由于一些自然和人为因素的影响,近代广西的水灾日趋严重。水灾发生的频次较前代明显增多,并有逐年上升的趋势。从空间分布来看,水灾主要集中于梧州、南宁、浔州及郁林州等府县。同时,水灾还呈现出连续性、灾区广、灾情重、多灾并发等特点,给近代广西社会和人民带来了深重灾难。水灾过后,政府和民间社会也在一定程度上对灾民进行了赈济,有利于农业生产的恢复,社会秩序的稳定。

Flood became an increasingly serious disater in modem times Guangxi because of both man- made and natural factors. The floods broke out more frequently than the previous dynasties, keeping an up- - ward tend year by year. The floods mainly happened in the Prefectrues of Wuzhou, Nanning, Xunzhou and Yulin. In addition, the floods had the features of successive, wide-ranging, disastrous and happening with vaired disaters, which brought great suffering to Guangxi areas and the people. After the flooding, the govern- ment and nongovernment societies and associations made some efforts to help to send relief to the flood-afflicted people and to resume the agricture production and to stabilize the social order.
