“天神赐佑”与“尽人之力”:清世宗“天人感应”理念下的钱塘江海塘工程

The Seawall Project of Qiantang River under the Concept of Interaction of Heaven and Mankind Initiated by Emperor Shizong of Qing Dynasty

雍正初年,清世宗在钱塘江海塘修筑中提出了"一劳永逸"的目标,并且为实现治水目的,在意识形态层面将海塘工程纳入到了"天人感应"理念的范畴。但是,"天神赐佑"、"非人力所能"与"一劳永逸"目标之间存在着明显的逻辑矛盾,从而对塘工修筑产生了深刻影响。意识形态与水利工程的交融,因此成为雍正朝治水政治的一大特点。

In the early years of Yongzheng Period in Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shizong put forth the target of ＂do it once for all＂ for the seawall project of Qiantang River and incorporated the project with the concept of interaction of heaven and mankind ideologically. Therefore, the integration between ideology and engineering became one of the major characteristics of water-control polities in the reign of Emperor Shizong. However, there is an evident logic contradiction among ＂do it once for all＂,＂heaven blessing＂ and ＂beyond human＇s capability＂, which has a profound influences on the seawall project.
