商鞅变法和王安石变法,是我国古代历史上影响最深远的两次改革。前者成功,而后者失败。王安石变法虽然以失败告终,但他在新法中,通过信用贷款的手段来刺激经济,试图通过以金融管制的办法来操纵国事,其范围与深度在此前及当时世界上少有。列宁称他是“中国十一世纪最伟大的改革家”并不为过,王安石应该在治水史上占有重要一席,其农田水利法是历朝中出台的较为完整而成熟的水利革新措施,在王安石的倡导下,形成“四方争言农田水利”的热潮全国兴修了水利工程1万多处,灌溉田亩达30多万顷、黄河、漳水等河流也得到了有效的治理。 Shang Yang’s reform and Wang Anshi’s reform are the two most far-reaching reforms in ancient China’s history. The former succeeds, while the latter fails. Although unsuccessful, Wang Anshi’s reform method, but in the new law, stimulated the economy by means of credit loans and attempted to manipulate the state by means of financial regulation. The scope and depth of Wang Anshi’s reforms were unprecedented and unprecedented in the world. Lenin called him “China’s greatest reformer in the 11th century.” Wang Anshi should have an important place in the history of flood control. His farmland water law is a relatively complete and mature water reform initiative introduced in the mid-dynasty. Wang Anshi’s advocacy led to the formation of the “four quarters controversy farmland water conservancy” craze over 10,000 water conservancy projects nationwide, more than 300,000 acres of irrigated fields, the Yellow River, Zhangshui and other rivers have also been effectively controlled.
