The Hamdani dynasty: An important milestone in Iranian history, which ruled the region from the early 7th to the early 11th century AD, during which agriculture and animal husbandry flourished, and had a profound impact on the economy and society of the region.
The prosperity of agriculture and animal husbandry has written a rich and colorful chapter in the history of Iran.
The Hamdani dynasty took a series of measures to promote agricultural production in Azerbaijan in northwestern Iran and in the Herat region in northeastern Iran. Irrigated agriculture was the main dependence of the Hamdani dynasty for agricultural production, which led to the construction of many large-scale hydraulic projects, such as the Abbas-Abad Canal in northwestern Iran and the Beghrami Waterway in Herat.
These canals and waterways not only provide sufficient water for irrigation for agricultural production, but also provide important infrastructure for urban development. During the Hamdani dynasty, agricultural techniques were greatly improved, and the dynasty improved agricultural tools and farming methods, thus increasing the efficiency of agricultural production.
In addition, farmers are encouraged to adopt new agricultural techniques, such as fertilization, planting fruit trees and vineyards, which have increased the yield and quality of agricultural production. * A series of agricultural policies have been formulated to promote the development of agricultural production, including reducing agricultural taxes and reducing land rents to encourage farmers to grow food crops and cash crops.
* An agricultural base has also been established to provide seeds and tools to help and support farmers. Livestock farming was also developed, and during this period, livestock became an important part of the economy, with large numbers of pastures established throughout the country to provide sufficient pasture and water.
In addition to raising livestock, horses and camels began to be raised, which were used for transportation and warfare. The dynasty also established sericulture to provide raw materials for silk manufacturing. * A series of animal husbandry policies have been implemented to promote the development of animal husbandry.
* Encourage people to raise livestock and combine agricultural cultivation to increase the productivity of the land. Laws and regulations have also been put in place to protect livestock and increase productivity in the livestock sector.
The influence of agriculture and animal husbandry, the economic prosperity of the Hamdani dynasty and the strength of the state all benefited from the successful development of these two aspects.
During the Hamdani dynasty, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Iran was influenced by a variety of factors. Geographical constraints make the construction of irrigation systems particularly important, and mountainous and river valley areas have become the main areas for the development of animal husbandry.
The development of agriculture and livestock is driven by demand in the domestic and international markets,** encouraging agricultural production to meet economic needs. Scientific and technological advances have also had an important impact on agriculture and livestock, including the development of irrigation systems, new cropping techniques, improvements in farming techniques, and the use of new tools and machines, all of which have increased the productivity of agriculture and livestock.
Islamic culture also had a profound impact on the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, where animals were regarded as sacred creatures, and there were certain religious regulations and rituals for raising domestic animals and slaughtering them.
Islamic festivals have also had an impact on agriculture and livestock production, such as the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha. The development of agriculture and animal husbandry has promoted the development of the commodity economy, providing rich resources for Iran's ** and commercial activities, while also leading to the development of other industries such as textiles and leather, improving the living conditions of the people and increasing social wealth.
In addition, the development of agriculture and animal husbandry is closely linked to the culture and beliefs of Islam, which also reflects the traditions and values of Islamic culture and has had a profound impact on the history and culture of Iran.
Industrial development in the Hamadan region was once mainly focused on the textile and porcelain manufacturing industries, and the textile industry of wool and silk has achieved positive development.
In terms of porcelain manufacturing, Hamadan is extremely skilled in porcelain manufacturing and is known for its bright colors, beautiful forms, tough textures and exquisite patterns. With the improvement of economic and political status, the industry has developed rapidly, especially in the smelting and processing of steel, and the technological level has reached its peak at that time.
Steel not only provides the necessary raw materials for construction, transportation and agricultural production, but also becomes an important product. At the same time, mineral resources such as tin, copper and coal in the Hamadan area have also been extensively exploited.
However, in the early 20th century, due to the impact of the Industrial Revolution in Europe, the industry in the Hamadan region began to shrink. Due to the fierce competition of European industrial products and the instability of the domestic political and economic environment, the industrial enterprises in the Hamadan region have gradually lost their market competitiveness and production capacity in the competition, resulting in the stagnation and decline of industrial production.
At the same time, there were also many social contradictions and political turmoil during this period, which further affected industrial development. Despite this, the handicraft development in the Hamadan region has remained vibrant.
During the Hamdani Dynasty, the handicraft industry was developed extensively and deeply, and all kinds of handicraft products such as carpets, satin and cotton cloth made great progress in the textile industry, and pottery making, metal crafts, woodworking products, etc. also had their own characteristics, which became an important part of economic and cultural life.
Handicraft techniques and craftsmanship have been passed down from generation to generation and have become a cultural heritage. During this period, handicraft products were not only sold domestically, but also exported abroad, becoming a cultural calling card of Iran.
Although there is a distinction between industry and handicrafts to a certain extent, there is still a close connection and mutual influence between the two. The raw materials of industrial products are mainly in the production of handicrafts, and the development of handicrafts has also benefited from the progress of industry.
The connection and development between the two have promoted economic and cultural prosperity and promoted social progress. At the same time, their development also shows a certain complementarity and coordination.
During the Hamdani dynasty, the rapid development of industry and handicrafts made it an important part of the economic and cultural life of the time, which had a profound impact on the economic and cultural development of Iran, and became an important part of Iranian culture and art.
With the progress of science and technology and the development of society, Iran's industry and handicraft industry will continue to innovate and develop and make greater contributions to economic and cultural development. We should strengthen the protection and inheritance of traditional industries and handicrafts, encourage the younger generation to learn and carry forward traditional skills, and at the same time draw on advanced international experience and technology to speed up the modernization, transformation and upgrading of industry and handicrafts.
The industry and handicrafts of the Hamadani dynasty were an important part of Iranian culture and art, and played an important role in the development of society at that time. Their development influences and complements each other, and together they promote the progress and development of society.
In the modern society, Iran's industry and handicraft industry are facing new opportunities and challenges, and we need to strengthen their protection and development, promote their continuous innovation and development, and make greater contributions to economic and cultural development.
