The Distribution and Flux of the Animal Husbandry and the Agricultural Regions of the Liao Dynasty

In the earlier stage of Liao Dynasty, the animal husbandry was the dominative industry. The pasturelands could be found everywhere in the region under the Liao's rule. The animal husbandry grew continuously. The agricultural economic region increased after the Yan Yun region was annexed into the Liao, but it could not be compared with the economic region of the animal husbandry. Till the middle and later stage, the distribution of animal husbandry had little flux. The court run animal husbandry economy was no longer flourishing since the continual decreases of the pastureland. But at the same time, the agricultural region increased in areas. The flourish of the agricultural economy had profound historical significance to the social development of the Liao, and even the agricultural development of the Jin and the Yuan Dynasty in the later.
