The Research Of A Few Issues On The Huizhou Water Conservancy Society During Ming And Qing Dynasty

Huizhou is a typical area of traditional Chinese society. Every generation has all aspects of prominent figures. Because they have many of the legacy of literature and monuments, Huizhou become a specimen of the traditional Chinese society. Whether it is in the process of historical development in China or Huizhou, water conservancy occupy an extremely unique and important position. This paper attempts to link the Huizhou and water conservancy, gathered process by observing the unique culture of social and environmental factors in Huizhou, with water as the representative of the collision of the natural environment, and explore the Huizhou water conservancy society’s changes and the pros and cons behind.In this paper, the main scope of the study in the geography is Huizhou Xin’an River Basin. Xin’an River water flows east, and clusters rivers in Huizhou’s largest basin. It forms a very important internal and external contact channel, and flow of people, goods and information exchange through this channel. As the core of the the Huizhou region’s political, economic, cultural and geographic area, the Xin’an River has played an important role in the historical development and changes of the process. In the course of history, the Huizhou people live at the water’s edge. Around water conservancy, while avoiding disadvantages, and constantly adapting, in response to make a different choice, including four traditional production and lifestyle, such as fishing, Woodcutting, farming and reading. Closely related to the first three and water conservancy. Reading is skyrocketing, winding the meantime,and they eventually generate a very unique "hermit" cultural in the history of Huizhou. Huizhou "hermits" go out of Huizhou and have more social contact with the water in order to survive. The so-called fine hermit living in the government, the middle of the hermit activities in the market, the common hermit living in a rural field. Small and Large Huizhou "hermits" who connect inside and outside, interact up and down, and jointly promote the formation of a magnificent Huizhou water conservancy society.For the research of water conservancy soiety, Shanxi and Shaanxi in northern China as the representative of drought, drinking and irrigation water conservancy problems have been to get more attention and concern. Agricultural irrigation in the south still is the research focus, However, because of the relatively abundant rainfall, a broader range of the southern region of water conservancy society research, the fishing, shipping and other water conservancy, especially shipping, water conservancy more important. In the Lu Dam irrigation project of Huizhou, the local gentry constantly declared and strengthen the special interests of the family of the creator by the shape and worship of idol. It reflects the status of the gentry digestion as time goes by, however, in the construction and maintenance process of Lu Dam, often as the gentry family of the sponsors and proponents, the constructive role that they play should be affirmed.In Huizhou society, the role of shipping in particular is huge. Especially after the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) moved the capital to Hangzhou, the Huizhou achieved the transition from remote direction near the capital. In particular through the Xin’an River waterway, Huizhou and the capital’s economic distance is more than the geographical distance shortened, economic, cultural and other aspects of the interaction is greatly enhanced. More and more Huizhou people left home by Xin’an River waterway. On the one hand, local population growth and lack of food pressure, the other hand, everywhere business people can gain more benefits, but only stay in one place people often don’t get much revenue. People obtain benefits by the water line, especially in the Huizhou merchants well-known.Huizhou business began to flourish, along with the formation of a series of town,such as Yuliang and Tunxi, These towns located next to the river, and thrive because of the water conservancy. Most of them are located in Huizhou waterway routes, gradually flourished as the Huizhou goods distribution of various central node. The Huizhou people used to walk in the front end of the Era of the Ocean. The southeast coast of China in the16th century, in the chaos of the pirates left red-letter characters, many of its place of origin is precisely Huizhou. In fact, this is a reflection of Huizhou Business tentacles extending breadth and depth. Eventually, as the whole of China, Huizhou restrained and then took a step back from the ocean, turning inland rivers, but because of lost opportunities, and ultimately a bustling ending.
