- Abstract:
-
Warping dams is an important engineering measure of soil and water conservation in the Loess Plateau, which has the effect of silting up land for farmland. The warping dam dry farming system with warping dams as the carrier and dam crop planting as the core is a unique agricultural system and agricultural landscape in the Loess Plateau. Through literature review and field investigation, the dry farming system of warping dams on the Loess Plateau was systematically analyzed. The results show that:(1)the artificial construction history of warping dams on the Loess Plateau can be traced back to Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, which has a history of at least 400 years, and has been widely popularized since the 1950s;(2)the traditional construction technology of silt dam and the dry farming technology system of dam land reflect the survival criterion of harmonious coexistence between man and nature and the life concept of wisdom of our ancestors;(3)the warping dams dry farming system has significant agricultural cultural heritage values such as economic value, ecological value, cultural value, landscape value, social value and scientific research value. It is of great significance for the construction of ecological civilization on the Loess Plateau, the sustainable development of agriculture and the inheritance of agricultural culture.
