2350 fish scale atlases to be declared
According to the staff of the Huangshan Municipal Archives, the "Fish Scale Atlas" is a cadastral archive created by the government for land registration and tax collection since the Southern Song Dynasty in China, and is known as the true memory of the most advanced land management system in ancient China.
It connects houses, forests, ponds, and fields in order, and indicates the corresponding names, which is a general register of private fields. The catalogue contains detailed information on the number of each piece of land, the name of the landowner, the number of acres of land, the four tos, and the grade of the land.
It is named because the graphic arrangement of the drawn plot is like fish scales, and it is also called "fish scale book" and "scale book".
The "Atlas of Fish Scales" has existed in our country for a long time. As a basic system of land management, it first appeared in the Song Dynasty in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places where the agricultural economy was more developed, such as Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang).
According to the relevant staff of the Huangshan Municipal Archives, the total number of "Fish Scale Atlases" jointly declared this time reached 1934, mainly from Xiuning, Anhui and Lanxi, Tangxi, Zhejiang, covering the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China (0-0 years), which is the early practice of the world's land management system.
