阎锡山“绥西屯垦”探略

On YAN Xishan's Policy of Opening Up Wasteland in West Sui

屯垦,自产生以来就是历代统治者普遍选择的一种边疆统治模式。因其与农业生产联系紧密,一直被有远见的统治者所重视。为此,有关屯垦的研究历来较为活跃。绥西屯垦这一历史事件固有其原因与价值,而其引发的社会影响,则揭示和警示世人在西部开发过程中必须尊重自然规律性和民族地区的特殊性,要立足西部的可持续发展。

Opening up wasteland was always adopted by the previous rulers to handle borderland since it came forth. And because it was closely linked to the agricultural production, far-sighted rulers paid attention to it. For this reason, the researches on opening up wasteland were always hot. Based on related files and information, the paper discusses opening up wasteland in West Sui chaired by YAN Xishan in order to show its background and reveal the social effectuation. On the other hand, the paper studies this historical event to remind people to comply with the laws of nature and specificity of ethnic minority areas in the process of developing the western region, focusing on sustainable development of the west.
