Climate Changes in the Middle Reaches of the Yellow River Since the Qing Dynasty and Their Social Responses

About This Novel

This book establishes a historical data database on the historical climate and hydrological changes of the Yellow River by systematically collecting and sorting out historical data on rainfall, water regime, disasters and other existing archives, local chronicles and collections of works on the middle reaches of the Yellow River since the Qing Dynasty. Based on this, the drought and flood levels (1644-2009) and surface rainfall change sequence (1765-2010) of the middle reaches of the Yellow River since the Qing Dynasty were reconstructed; the major drought of 1689-1692 and the extreme precipitation of 1819 on small and medium spatial scales were restored , the spatial and temporal differentiation characteristics of climate-hydrological events such as the temperature change in 1929, and the historical aspects of regional social response; and then try to diagnose the influence of external environmental factors such as natural and social factors, and clarify the interactive relationship between the impact of single disaster events and regional social response. At the same time, it also discusses the operation mode of the Yellow River flood control and flood reporting system in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the Yellow River river control management, river engineering management, etc. To a certain extent, it has promoted the depth of research on related academic issues in cross-cutting fields such as historical geography and Yellow River water conservancy history. The research conclusions reveal the characteristics and patterns of droughts and floods, rainfall changes, extreme dryness and humidity, and cold and warm events in the middle reaches of the Yellow River since the Qing Dynasty. It is not only a positive response to the study of regional climate reconstruction from a global perspective, but also provides historical reference for current disaster risk management and human adaptation to climate change. It also provides historical similarities for predicting regional climate change in the next decades or even centuries.
