开凿田园:哈尼梯田引水体系营建述略

Developing Farmland: a Brief Introduction of the Construction of Water Diversion System for Hani Rice Terraces

哈尼先祖从山居建寨到梯田农业形成,经历了一个漫长的过程,哈尼先民对水的认识、利用和调控在这个过程中起着主导作用。哈尼族人引水修渠、平整土地、修凿梯田,改造水土环境,逐渐走上了水稻种植的农业发展道路。哈尼梯田的营建不仅是在认识和尊重自然规律的基础上,对生存环境的合理改造,也是充分利用技术和资源的结果。本文利用哈尼族古歌等历史文献材料,对梯田农业的萌芽及其引水体系的营建过程进行阐述。

There has been a long process for Hani ancestors from building houses in the mountains to the formation of agricultural terraced fields,while Hani ancestors’ cognition,utilization and regulation of water play an important role in this process.The construction of Hani terraces is not only a rational transformation of the living environment on the basis of understanding and respecting the laws of nature,but also the result of making full use of technology and resources.By using literature materials such as Hani ’s ancient songs,this paper expounds the germination of terrace agriculture and the process of water diversion system construction.
