明清时期敖汉地区粟作农业发展刍论

Study on the Development of Millet Farming in Aohan Region during the Ming and Qing Dynasties

内蒙古敖汉地区是粟作农业的重要发祥地,有着近万年的粟、黍栽培历史,在经历春秋战国到辽金元时期各民族之间的不断交流、融合与开发之后,到明清两代,更加进入了一个大规模开垦和建设时期,确立了当地传统粟作农业的常规经济形态,形成了一套从耕地、轮作、播种到田间管理、收获及加工的特色粟作制度与技术体系,并实现了耕犁、漏锄、瓠种器等代表性农具的较大改进和基本定型,奠定了后世农业生产与技术的基本格局,为今天敖汉乃至整个赤峰地区的经济发展、社会进步提供重要原动力和文化源泉。

The Aohan region of Inner Mongolia is an important birthplace of millet farming with a history of foxtail and broomcorn millet cultivation for nearly 10,000 years.After continuous communication,integration and development with different nationalities,it had entered a period of large-scale reclamation and construction during the Ming and Qing Dynasties,established the conventional economic form of local traditional millet farming,formed a set of characteristic systems and techniques from plowing land,crop rotating,seeding to field management,harvesting and processing,and achieved the large improvements and basic stereotypes of representative agricultural implements such as ploughs,hoes,and seed seeders,which laid the basic pattern of agricultural production and technology for future generations,and provided an important driving force and cultural source for the economic development and social progress in the local region.
