Uirimji is an irrigation system which speculated to construct in three Han period(AD 1-3 century), but it has been under-estimated because of inadequate scientific research. On the other hand it is designated national scenic place, a kind of monument according to cultural properties protection law. Irrigation system is one of the agricultural site. So Uirimji would rather to be historic site. There are many kinds of agricultural sites, for example, irrigation canal, reservoir, cultivation field, etc. Most of them remains buried ruins losing its function, so we can find it out by archaeological method. But they have not yet excavated, consequently we don’t have much information about them. It needs to be implemented to excavate and analysis them. In this article I try to trace the meaning of agricultural sites and discover past features, present conditions and furthermore future values of them. Uirimji is a most valueable heritage culturally and economically, so we have to sustain its value especially for the future grneration.
