绍兴山阴后海塘的历史沿革考略

Historical Evolution of Houhai Seawall in Shanyin of Shaoxing

针对绍兴山阴后海塘始建于唐代开元十年(722年)的观点,作者依据史实及相关考证,提出早在古越时期,后世的山阴段,就有海塘雏形的存在;汉代时期起,在镜湖最北处的山阴后海边,还筑有防潮泄洪的斗门;即便同为唐代的海塘,建于唐垂拱二年(686年)的“界塘”,作为山阴后海塘的前身,也比开元十年(722)李俊之等人增修的山阴防海塘要早。在阐述了山阴后海塘在汉、唐、宋、明等时代所修建的一些重大塘工的同时,对处于清代浙江海塘“巨工完成”时期的山阴后海塘塘工的一些基本情况,进行了梳理。
