Abstract: Economic development in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rise of Huizhou merchants prompted shed people to enter Huizhou to lease the mountain fi elds to engage in the timber industry in the Ming and Qing dynasties. By adopting the mode of "refining the mountain" and intercropping trees and grains, the shed people replaced traditional auxiliary crops such as millet and hemp with corn. Although the area planted in corn was expanded, it still did not become the main crop.Over time the soaring number of shed people affected the traditional system of clan residence and the geomancy beliefs of Huizhou. In 1788, the devastating fl ood of the Yangtze River led the local gentry to blame planting corn for the fl ood. This, combined with the sentiment of resistance against the migrants, finally evolved into a movement to evict the shed people.

摘要： 明清时期江南经济发展和徽商崛起推动棚民进入徽州租赁山场，采用“炼山”和林粮间作模式从事木材产业，以玉米取代粟、麻等传统“花利”作物，尽管扩大了玉米种植面积，但始终未将其转变为主要农作物。棚民的数量激增冲击了徽州传统聚族而居和风水信仰体系，1788年长江特大洪灾又导致当地士绅将矛头直指玉米，最终与抵制棚民的情绪掺杂在一起，演变为一场驱逐棚民运动。
