The Ruins of Liangzhu Ancient City
After the end of the Holocene naval invasion
Liangzhu formed land
The ancestors advanced from the plateau in front of the mountain to the wetland plain
Vigorously develop rice agriculture
This place is located in the monsoon climate zone on the southern edge of the northern subtropical zone
The interannual and intra-annual precipitation fluctuates greatly
Meanwhile, it is close to the mountainous area
The water comes in suddenly and flows out quickly.
Floods in the rainy season and water shortages in the dry season are prone to occur
Water control
It has become the top priority in seeking development
The ancestors explored geography and studied hydrology
Dig rivers, dig ditches and build mounds of earth
Build the Liangzhu Ancient City on a grand scale
And the peripheral water conservancy system
The great cause of water control and national establishment has been accomplished
