| Research Abstract |
Enormous amount of "precipitation data" was found in official documents in Qing Dynasty, preserved in the First Historical Archives of China. It was found that the "precipitation data" are not the so called precipitation but the penetration depth of rain water into the surface soil. With in situ observations and experiments, hence, a relation between precipitation and the penetration depth was established, with which the document data were converted into precipitation data. As the results, it was found that the seasonal variation and areal pattern of precipitation were roughly consistent with those at present. The total amount, on the other hand, has decreased since the early 19th century. It was concluded, however, that for the recent water shortages, the human activities are more responsible than such a climate change.
