明代云南的卫所与水利纠纷

Military Garrison System and Water Conservancy disputes of Yunnan Province in Ming Dynasty

明代在云南设立了许多卫所,带来大量移民进入,直接推动了整个云南经济社会的发展。同时也引发了一些新的矛盾与问题,水利纠纷即其中之一。卫所进入后云南的水利纠纷增多,日益复杂,目前所见的水利纠纷典型案例中均有卫所涉及。在卫所进入基础上的人口、耕地骤增,造成一段时间内的局部资源紧张,是水利纠纷产生的直接原因。但纠纷的根源不在于卫所制度本身,而在于水利建设发展水平的滞后。

Many military garrisons had been built in Yunnan province during the period of Ming Dynasty, which had brought a large number of immigrants in and thus directly prompted the economic and social development of Yunnan province. Meanwhile, it also produced some new disputes and problems, among which were water conservancy disputes. After the establishment of military garrisons in Yunnan, water conservancy disputes there increased and became much more complicated day by day. The typical cases of water conservancy disputes present all saw the presence of military garrisons. The increase of population and arable land brought by the establishment of military garrisons had strained the local resources over a period of time, which was the immediate cause of the water conservancy disputes. However, the root of these disputes were not in the military garrison system, but in the backward development of water conservancy construction.
