Hydraulic systems represent a crucial facet of ancient Chinese urban planning,intimately intertwined with the developmental trajectory of urban societies.Archaeological inquiry into urban hydraulics has emerged as a prominent topic within archaeological research.Investigations into pre-Qin urban hydraulics have progressively matured alongside accumulation of field data.Building on a thorough survey of research history,this paper proposes a methodological framework for archaeological study of pre-Qin urban hydraulics.Objectives of such investigations should revolve around elucidating the nexus between human-environment interaction and social dynamics in the utilization of urban water resources.Elements of hydraulic infrastructure,both within and outside urban perimeters,constitute the fundamental units of urban hydraulic systems and represent the primary focus of pre-Qin urban hydraulic archaeological research.In consideration of the spatio-structural attributes of urban hydraulics,it is imperative to develop a methodological framework encompassing multiple levels of analysis,from micro-to macroscopic.
