A Tentative Review of the Studies on the Environmental History of Ancient China

摘要

The existing research findings of our environmental history fail to attach due importance to the environmental history of ancient China. The studies of China’s environmental history should extend the time scope further to more ancient times and raise interdisciplinary research awareness. Such studies can help us trace our sources of culture and ecology, and better understand the current world and humanity itself. Studies on the environmental history of ancient China also need to be equipped with corresponding research concepts, orientation and approaches.
