隋唐农业区发展原因探析

On the Cause of the Development of the Agricultural Area in Sui-Tang Dynasties

隋唐时期气候转暖 ,改善了农业生产的外部环境 ,引起了种植方式的变化 ,提高了土地利用率。大统一的政治局面有利于南北交流 ,消弥了一些不利因素 ,封建国家也更加重视农业 ,轻徭薄赋 ,不失农时。这一时期人口增长迅速 ,为农业区的开发提供了充足的劳动力。隋唐推行均田制、实行屯田和营田 ,扩大了耕地面积 ,并使那些社会动荡、环境恶劣的地区也得到开发。

Because the climate gets warmer,the environment of agricultural production is improved, the way of cultivation is changed and the utilization ratio of land is raised. The unity of political aspect benefites the North-South communication and eliminates some unfavourable factors. The governments pay more attention to agriculture, levy the slight conscript labor and taxes and donot miss the farming season. During this period, the growth of population provides rich labor power. The governments implement the System of even occupied fields,carry out stationing troops or peasants to open up wasteland and managing lands, which enlarge the areas of cultivation and develop the turbulent and foul regions. The things mentioned above are the basic reasons for the development of agricultural regions in the Sui-Tang dynasties.
