伊吾屯田 / Yiwu Garrison Farming (late Han)

Overview

伊吾屯田 / Yiwu garrison farming is the late-Han frontier installation restored under 汉顺帝 in Hanji 810. The route is deliberately disambiguated from the modern Yiwu page because this page refers to Western Regions garrison agriculture and the office of Yiwu sima.

Current Profile

Hanji 810 says Shun restores Yiwu tuntian in 131 CE and establishes a Yiwu sima, following an earlier model from the Yongyuan reign. The episode frames the move as route security: garrison farming supports Han presence on the Western Regions corridor.

Yiwu’s current profile therefore joins agriculture, military logistics, and frontier diplomacy. It is a fixed support node rather than a general city page, and its role contrasts with the separate Huangzhong case where moving tuntian too close to Qiang groups produces fear and alliance behavior.

Key Characteristics

• Western Regions route-security installation rather than a modern city route.
• Tuntian site where agriculture and garrison logistics are combined.
• Restored by Shun as a deliberate revival of an earlier frontier model.
• Given a named office, Yiwu sima, to administer the restored position.
• Source-bounded place page linked to one 131 CE restoration notice.

Evidence

• Restoration notice: Hanji 810 says Shun restores Yiwu tuntian in 131 CE.
• Administrative office: Hanji 810 says the court establishes a Yiwu sima.
• Strategic function: Hanji 810 ties the restoration to securing the Western Regions route.

Qualifications

This page is bounded to Hanji 810. It does not reconstruct the full history of Yiwu, the Yongyuan precedent, or every later Western Regions garrison. The modern Yiwu page remains separate because the route collision would otherwise mix unrelated subjects.

What Changed

• Created the late-Han Yiwu garrison farming page as a disambiguated route for the 131 CE restoration notice.

Relationships

• 汉顺帝 - ruler under whom Yiwu garrison farming is restored.
• 屯田制度 - broader state farming and logistics system that Yiwu exemplifies.
• 屯田贴近引发安全困境 - contrasting concept showing when garrison farming placement increases fear instead of security.
• 于阗国 - Western Regions context in the same source, though not the direct site of Yiwu.
• 承认背书式边疆外交 - adjacent frontier-governance mode that works beside military-agricultural support nodes.
