开明王朝蜀地农业探析

Study on Agriculture of the Ancient Shu Area in Kai-Ming Dynasty

史载先秦蜀地经历了蚕丛、柏灌、鱼凫、杜宇和开明五朝。开明王朝是在蜀地立国的最后一朝,也是蜀地农业文明最为繁荣的王朝。这一时期,蜀地农业和水利在原有的基础上,有了长足的进步。主要表现在开明氏领导的治水患兴水利取得的卓越成就和蜀地传统粮食作物水稻、粟等的种植规模和产量的极大提高。此时的蜀已是闻名中国的农业富庶区了。这为秦举巴蜀之后,蜀地成为秦统一天下的“王业之基”,进而为两汉以后蜀地天府之国的形成奠定了深厚的基础。

According to historical accounts,Shu area in Pre-Qin Dynasty experienced five dynasties: Can-Cong,Bai-Guan,Yu-Fu,Du-Yu and Kai-Ming. Among which Kai-Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty in the history of the ancient Shu area,and produced prosperous agricultural civilization. During this period,agricultural product and water conservancy facilities had developed greatly. Under the leadership of the Kai-Ming,the people launched a largescale water conservancy project to ensure a good harvest of traditional grain crops output including broomcorn millet and rice,which made Shu area a famous agriculture affluent area in China. Based on these,Qin firstly captured abundant Shu area and made it the rear base to unify China,which laid a solid foundation for the formation of "the land of abundance" during the period following the Western and Eastern Dynasties.
