生态环境、社会环境与元明以降淮河流域社会变迁

On Social Change in the Reach of the Huaihe River since the Dynasties of Yuan and Ming from the Perspective of Ecological and Social Environment

元明以降淮河流域生态环境、社会环境均发生了重大变迁。生态环境的日益恶化导致了该区域社会环境的恶化,而社会环境的不断恶化,又进一步加剧了该区域生态环境的恶化。二者之间形成了一种螺旋累积的恶性关系,最终导致该区域社会矛盾复杂、尖锐,经济社会和文化发展全面倒退,淮河流域社会随之发生了重大而深刻变迁。

Since the dynasties of Yuan and Ming, great changes in both ecological and social environments in the reach of the Huaihe River had taken place. The increasing deterioration of ecological environment led to the deterioration of social environment of the region, and the latter in turn intensified further the former. The spiral accumulation of malignant relations between the two complicated and sharpened the social contradictions of the region and finally got it entirely backward in society, economy and culture.
