How did people in the Song Dynasty build the environment?

? Environmentally friendly? Green? is a modern concept, but not to talk about a modern idea, but an ancient traditional idea. The Song Dynasty continued the practice of previous generations with a specialized environmental protection department? The Ministry of Yu, the state and county set up? The first is a new one, which is a new one, and the second is a new one. The court also formulated a series of decrees related to ecological protection, such as the edict of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, which stated: "The people shall not be allowed to plant trees from February to September. The people were not allowed to pick and catch insects and fish from February to September, or to eject birds, and a secretary of the court affirmed this in the yearly report. Frogs were strictly prohibited, because the Song people had discovered that frogs were the natural enemies of crop pests. This legislation is probably the earliest? wildlife protection law? one of the earliest wildlife protection laws. The Song government paid particular attention to greening. When we unfold the Qingming Riverside Drawing, we can see that both sides of the roads in the countryside, along the Bianhe River, and on both sides of the streets in the prosperous city are all covered with green trees. This is, of course, the result of the Song government's vigorous promotion of greening.

After the founding of the state of Song Taizu, he ordered the counties along the Yellow River and Bianhe River to plant more trees, including elm and willow, and other trees that are suitable for the land. elm and willow and the land suitable for the wood? People want to listen to a wide range of tree art. Because vegetation can consolidate the riverbanks and dams. Song Zhenzong Dazhongxiangfu two years (1009), the court appointed Xie Dequan to lead the protection of the Bianhe River, Xie Dequan, that is, the mobilization of laborers, in the capital of the river section? planted tens of millions of trees to stabilize the embankment? No wonder, when the Japanese monk Cheng Xun traveled to China and took a boat to Bianhe River, he saw that all the trees were planted along the river bank. Willows were connected with each other. Elm and willow forests. We are now accustomed to planting trees on both sides of the highway, the Song people did the same thing. Dazhong Xiangfu nine years (1016), an official found ? The road more que system official timber? , then made a suggestion to the court: can make? horse passing store pawns clip official road planting elm and willow, or with the land suitable for planting miscellaneous trees, five or seven years can be lush, for the cost of the other, hot summer months, but also enough shade and passers-by? Song Zhenzong approved the proposal. Song Renzong, Tao Bi in Yangshuo when the magistrate, ? Classes of people planting trees next to the official road, clip hundreds of miles, since the traveler without summer and fall summer drinking pain, it counties and counties Sydney effect?

Song Dynasty magistrates who are actively planting trees during their term of office, can be used as a promotion of political achievements, "Qingyuan law class" provides:? The county prime minister, the term of office, planting trees and trees, in accordance with the grams of reward, that is, the work is remarkable, belonging to the supervisors of the Department of Baozuo, beg for excellence with the push of the grace? If it leads to the reduction of green area, it will be punished,? If the loss of three points of forest planting within the term, the ranking will be lowered for half a year, five points will be lowered for one year, and eight points will be lowered for one capital. The government has also enacted legislation to strictly prohibit logging. The government has also enacted legislation to strictly prohibit the theft of forest trees, and to criminalize those who violate the law. Even if the government wants to cut down timber for public purposes, it has to report to the government. The government also legislated against illegal logging. The Song people paid attention to environmental protection. Song people pay attention to environmental protection, both the continuation of the traditional concept of environmental protection, but also due to the pressure of the social reality of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty developed handicrafts, especially the large-scale use of coal, resulting in air pollution, such as Yanzhou generally to coal (charcoal) as daily fuel, the entire city shrouded in coal smoke: ? Three roads in the fried pile set, two cities in the charcoal smoke?

The Song Dynasty was a time of great prosperity, and the trend of over-exploitation of land and forest resources was unavoidable, which caused a certain degree of soil erosion and ecological damage. Don't think that only today's Beijing has? The first is that the sandstorms are not a problem, but they are a problem for the people who live in the city.



Dust storms and haze in Beijing are a common phenomenon in China. Storm winds from the northwest sound, folded wood blowing sand, yellow dust cover the sky? In other words, compared with any previous dynasties, the Song Dynasty people faced more urgent environmental protection pressure, and could not but pay more attention to environmental protection. In a sense, this is also the Song dynasty? modernity? s manifestation of modernization, because in the Modernization Before modernization, the destructive power of man over nature was very limited.
