摘要
本文着重探讨了明清时期闽粤赣三省虎灾的成因、危害及其分布和演变趋势。指出这一时期三省虎患之所以空前绝后，主要原因就是随着大量人口不断向山区进逼和新作物的引进推广而出现的山区开垦规模的扩大，其对山林资源的严重破坏，激化了虎与人之间的矛盾：要么虎吃人，要么人杀虎。其后，山区开发已达极限，老虎不断为民捕杀，乃至造成华南虎濒于绝种的境地，虎患随之减少。
This article focuses on the causes, negative impact, distribution and rise and fall of tiger - related disasters in Ming- Qing era Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi. This article discusses how environmental destruction was caused by population pressures which led to heavy migration into mountain areas. the introduction of new plants. and the opening of new lands. This then resulted in more frequent conflicts between tigers and humans. When humans first began to invade mountain areas, tigers often attacked and killed them. Later, when the opening of new lands in mountain areas reached its peak. tigers were constantly killed by humans. By the end of the process, tigers in south China had become extinct; thus tiger disasters also ceased.
