豫西南地区先秦农业略论

A Brief Study on Pre-Qin Dynasty Agriculture in Southwestern Henan Province

豫西南地处秦岭淮河一线,是南北文化交流互动的重要通道,新石器时代中期以来,由各种考古学文化因素组成的独特文化景观开始出现。在此背景下,豫西南地区的先秦农业也呈现出南北交融的特点,稻作、旱作皆是农业生产的重要成分。文章利用农业考古遗存来梳理豫西南地区先秦农业的基本面貌,了解其发展过程,并通过与中原及关中地区、长江中游农业起源发展过程的比较来认识其地位和作用,最后对一些相关问题进行探讨,希望有助于该地区先秦农业的进一步研究。

Unique cultural landscapes showing various cultural elements began to emerge along the Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River valley since the middle Neolithic Age.Against this background,the pre-Qin agriculture in southwestern Henan Province also exhibited the characteristic of amalgamation between the North and the South.Based on excavated agricultural remains,this paper tries to provide a basic picture of pre-Qin agriculture in the southwest Henan Province and explores its developmental process.Furthermore,through a comparison with the Central Plain,the Guanzhong region and the middle Yangtze River valley,the paper tries to understand the role of this region’s agriculture in the development of ancient Chinese agriculture.The paper also discusses some related questions,hoping to push forward the research of agriculture in this region.
