摘要
中国古代以农业立国,对水利建设比较重视,在数千年的历史岁月中,兴建过数以万计的水利设施。这些水利设施涉及生活用水、农田灌溉、防洪排涝、漕运航运等诸多领域,在经济社会生活中发挥过重要作用。从大量资料来看,中国古代的水利设施经历了发展变化的过程,并在不同的时段和不同的地区呈现出不同的特点。尽管这些水利设施并不是持续发展的,有些设施甚至经历了由先进到落后的转变,但毋庸置疑,许多设施起源甚早,科技含量甚高,在一定程度上体现了中国古代的农业文明,至今仍有一定的借鉴意义。
With agriculture as the national foundation, ancient China showed great concern with construction of water conservancy. Throughout the several millennia of history, China constructed thousands of facilities of water conservancy, which were used for everyday water supply, irrigation, preventing floods and water transportation,playing an important role of economic life. Large quantities of sources show that facilities of water conservancy in ancient China went through great developments and changes and assumed diverse features in different phases of time in different regions. Many of these old facilities of water conservancy were of early origin and high content of science and technology, which represented agricultural civilization in ancient China to a certain degree.
