摘要 The achievements of Guanzhong farmland water conservancy construction before the Sui and Tang dynasties were outstanding. But after the warlord wars at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the division of the Wei, Jin and North and South Dynasties, a large number of water conservancy projects were destroyed and abandoned, which provided space for the construction of Guanzhong farmland water conservancy in the Sui and Tang dynasties. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, not only the original three major irrigation aqueduct systems were restored, developed and expanded, but also the technological breakthroughs of the Yellow River Diversion Irrigation Project were realised, which enabled the further development of the agricultural economy in the economic zone centred on Guanzhong in Shaanxi at that time.
