湖南仓储制及其在赈灾中的作用和弊端

The Role of Hunan's Grain-storing System in Disaster Relief from 1928 to 1949 and Its Drawbacks

湖南仓储制的具体内容虽因时因地而有所区别，但一直被政府视为备荒要政，在灾荒之年和青黄不接之时，对接济灾歉和恢复农事发挥了一定的作用。由于积谷亏欠及乡官玩忽职守、侵吞和挪用严重，其救荒功能逐渐减弱。

Hunan's grain-storing system differed in places and varied with the time.It played an important role in relieving the people in stricken areas and resuming farm work when temporary shortage of grain or famine hit a district.So it was regarded by the government as an important measure of preparing against natural disasters.However,broken stewage,serious embezzlement and appropriation and neglect of duty of the officials gradually weakened its role.
