A Survey of Zhejiang's Hilly Land Agricultural Production during the Time from the Han to Tang Dynasty

During the Pre-Qin period, Zhejiang's hilly land was uncultivated. However, throughout the thousand-odd-year development from the Qin and Han to the Tang and Song Dynasties, agricultural economy grew rapidly in parallel with the gradual improvement of local organizational power. The Six Dynasties founded their states to the south of the Yangtze River, which greatly promoted the economic development of the regions south of the Yangtze River. The Tang Dynasty maintained a relatively longer stable political situation, and its people could take advantage of its well-endowed natural environment to improve their production tools and radically changed the backwardness of the hilly land production.
