先秦时期林业问题研究

Research on Issues of Forestation in Pre-Qin Period

先秦时期,就长江流域和黄河流域而言,森林覆盖良好。随着人口的增多,农业种植面积不断增加,使一些平原的森林逐渐减少。先秦林业保护思想源于原始的禁忌和自然崇拜。最初,人们植树造林只是为了满足生产和生活的需要,后发展为疆界和道路的标志,并逐步认识到植树造林具有防止水土流失的功能。

In the Pre-Qin Period, the forest coverage was fine in the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River ba- However, with the later expansion of the population, thus the forest areas in some plains gradually reduced. In agriculture cultivation areas increased constantly, and the Pre-Qin period, forestry protection thought originatedfrom primitive taboos and nature worship. Originally, people planted trees just to meet the needs of production and daily life and then they used the trees as the border and road signs. Afterwards, people gradually realized the func- tion of forests in preventing soil erosion.
