汉朝初期农业生产的恢复发展与政府行为

Recovery and Development of Agricultural Production and Government Action at the Beginning of Western Han Dynasty

西汉建立之初,经过秦朝末年长期的战乱,土地荒芜,生产力遭到严重破坏,农业生产几乎处于停滞状态,百姓生活十分困苦。针对这种情况,汉初统治者高祖、吕后、文帝、景帝吸取秦亡的教训,实行了招抚流亡、鼓励垦荒、轻徭薄赋、约法省禁、与民休息等政策,使农业经济得到了迅速恢复和发展。经过近70年的努力,呈现出国家富强、百姓安居乐业的繁荣景象。

At the beginning of Western Han Dynasty, the land was barren and the productivity suffered severe damage after long-term chaos caused by war at the end of Qin Dynasty. The agricultural production was nearly in a stagnation state and common people＇s life was very difficult. Aiming at this situation, the n.tlers at the beginning of Han Dynasty including Emperor Gaozu, Empress Lv, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing learned lessons from the perdition of Qin Dynasty and carried out many policies such as attracting the refugees to settle down one place to live, encouraging the land reclarmation,reducing taxes and corvee, simplifying the law and alleviating the punishment and giving people peace and security. These policies resulted in a quick recovery and development of agricultural economy. After the efforts for nearly 70 years, Western Han Dynasty presented a prosperous sight that the country flourished and common people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
