During the reigns of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty,the border fortresses along Shaanxi Circuit inherited the previous military defense function and were facilities of purely military fortress nature.However,since the reign of Emperor Zhenzong,these fortresses gradually transformed into economic facilities with the function of garrison reclamation.During the reign of Emperor Renzong,many fortresses,while completing the transformation from military fortresses to garrison reclamation facili-ties,also had the function of protecting cultivation.Thus,these fortresses were closely linked with agricultural development such as garrison reclamation.Due to the trend of con-tinuous growth in the longitudinal time and increasing density or expanding territory in the lateral space of the border fortresses along Shaanxi Circuit in the Northern Song Dynasty,the agricultural development such as garrison reclamation carried out along the border of Shaanxi Circuit centering around the fortresses also showed a trend of continuous expansion on the whole.
