从文献记载看塘泺工程的兴废

On the Rise and Fall of Tangluo Project from Literature Records

北宋时期,河北路是宋辽接壤的边境地区,北方燕山天险丧失后,面对强大的辽国骑兵,出于巩固边防的需要,北宋政府依托本区域独特的地势和水资源条件,疏浚河流、筑堤蓄水,将河湖等自然水系联络起来,建成独特的“塘泺防线”,被誉为“水长城”。在防线附近营建寨堡,驻军戍守,依赖塘泺的水源开垦水田,种植水稻,为驻军提供军粮和水产品,造就了北方的鱼米之乡。北宋之后在自然、人为因素共同作用下塘泺逐渐废弃,金元明清继续对塘泺遗存进行改造利用。

In the Northern Song Dynasty,Hebei Road District was the border area between Song and Liao.After the loss of Yanshan natural danger in the north,the Northern Song government needed to consolidate the border defense in the face of the powerful military threat of Liao.Relying on the unique topography and water resource conditions of the region,the Northern Song government dredged rivers,built embankments and stored water,connected rivers,lakes and other natural water systems,and built a unique “Tangluo defense line”,known as the “Great Wall of Water”.The Northern Song government built fortresses and garrisons near the defense line.With the water source of Tangluo,it reclaimed paddy fields,planted rice,provided military grain and aquatic products for the garrison,and created a land of fish and rice in the north.After the Northern Song Dynasty,Tangluo was gradually abandoned under the joint action of natural and human factors.The remains of Tangluo continued to be transformed and utilized in the Jin,Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties.
