北魏的内河航运

The Inland Shipping in Northern Wei Dynasty

北魏内河航运的发展首先得力于造船业的发展 ,北魏造船业的发展和北魏早期与中原地区的交往有着颇多的关系 ,而且随着北魏的向南发展逐渐发达。为了水路的畅通 ,北魏时期还对以黄河为主的水运通道进行了疏通。北魏的内河航运虽然说在北魏孝文帝迁都洛阳以后得到真正的大发展 ,但在孝文帝之前 ,即达到一定的规模。漕运粮食等战略物资到洛阳以及南方前线是此后内河航运的重要内容。

The inland shipping development in Northern Wei Dynasty benefited from the development of shipbuilding industries at that time,and the latter had many relations to the early contact between the people in both northern region and central plain region,and was gradually flourishing with the advancement of Northern Wei southwards.In order to ensure the waterway navigation,the government at that time also took a measure to dredge the water transport ways which mainly relied on the Yellow River.The inland shipping in Northern Wei,though speaking,got a really great development after the Xiaowen Emperor moved the Capital to Luoyang,but,before the Xiaowen Emperor,had already reached a certain scale.The water transport of grain and other strategic materials to Luoyang and to Southern frontline was than an important matter of inland shipping at that time.Starting water transport of Yellow River etc. was one of the important aspects to ensure Northern Wei flourishing.
