台州垦荒历史述略

A Brief Introduction on the History of the Wasteland Reclamation in Taizhou

台州垦荒实践贯穿于台州发展历史。汉末以降,先民陆续迁入台州开荒种地。至两宋,人多地狭,开发温黄平原,建设水利,创造出梯田、涂田等形式,不断推进垦荒的广度和深度。台州海上航线开辟较早,成为海上丝绸之路的重要城市。

The reclamation practice runs through the development history of Taizhou. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the ancestors have moved to Taizhou to cultivate wasteland. Until the Song Dynasty, as there were too many people yet narrow land, people constantly promoted the breadth and depth of reclamation by developing Wenhuang Plain, building irrigation works, creating fields of terraces and shallows and so on. Taizhou’s maritime route was developed early, so it is an important city on the Maritime Silk Road.
