夏商都邑水利文化遗产的考古发现及其价值

The Archaeological Discoveries and the Values of the Water-control Historic Heritages in the Capital Settlements of the Xia and Shang Dynasties

偃师二里头、偃师商城、郑州商城、黄陂盘龙城、洹北商城、安阳殷墟等夏商都城或区域中心城邑遗址发现了大量护城河、壕沟、暗渠、水池、井、渡槽等水利设施。它们具有防护城市、改善人居环境、保障生活生产的水资源供给、提升区域景观等作用,对了解当时科技、社会组织与管理具有重要意义。

In the capital settlements or regional central settlement sites of the Xia and Shang Dynasties, such as the Erlitou Site and Shang City Site in Yanshi, the Zhengzhou Shang City Site, Panlongcheng Site in Huangpi, the Huanbei Shang City Site and Yinxu Site in Anyang, large amounts of remains of moats, ditches, underground channels, cisterns, wells, aqueducts and other water-control facilities have been discovered. They had the functions of city or settlement defense, living environment optimization, water supply maintenance, regional landscape upgrade, and so on, and are scientifically valuable for us to understand the scientific and technological levels and the social organization and management of the time when they were constructed.
