江(jiang)蘇(su)沿(yan)海的兩淮鹽區，是(shi)全國著名的四大(da)海鹽產區之(zhi)(zhi)一。地處江(jiang)蘇(su)省連云港市(shi)干(gan)于(yu)縣(xian)的江(jiang)蘇(su)省青口鹽場(chang)(chang)，是(shi)建國后(hou)淮北鹽區定(ding)型的八(ba)大(da)海鹽生產場(chang)(chang)之(zhi)(zhi)一。20世紀后(hou)20年，該(gai)鹽場(chang)(chang)實施退鹽轉(zhuan)(zhuan)產系列工程，從一個產鹽場(chang)(chang)華麗(li)轉(zhuan)(zhuan)身(shen)為(wei)一個農水興旺之(zhi)(zhi)地。本拙文試圖簡述(shu)青口鹽場(chang)(chang)由(you)興鹺(cuo)到退鹺(cuo)的歷史概(gai)要，以志紀念，同時求教于(yu)方家。
一(yi)、淮北鹽區業鹺最早的地(di)方(fang)
凡沿海(hai)土地莫不浸咸(xian)。可(ke)浸咸(xian)不一定業鹺。如果(guo)夙沙(sha)(sha)氏發現煮(zhu)海(hai)水(shui)可(ke)以(yi)得鹽(yan)(yan)(yan)是(shi)(shi)為偶然(ran)，而干于縣境海(hai)岸煮(zhu)海(hai)得鹽(yan)(yan)(yan)就是(shi)(shi)必然(ran)了(le)(le)。史界基本一致認同中國海(hai)鹽(yan)(yan)(yan)之(zhi)宗(zong)，是(shi)(shi)炎帝時(shi)居住在膠(jiao)州半島夙沙(sha)(sha)氏部落，是(shi)(shi)他們(men)先行了(le)(le)“煮(zhu)海(hai)為鹽(yan)(yan)(yan)”的實踐(jian)，用海(hai)水(shui)熬出(chu)了(le)(le)第一釜人工(gong)鹽(yan)(yan)(yan)。這至少是(shi)(shi)公元前2700年(nian)前的事(shi)了(le)(le)，距今(jin)遙為4700余年(nian)了(le)(le)。

三(san)、終因產能低而(er)放棄祖業
干于縣境鹽(yan)(yan)產從清末下降后，在淮北(bei)鹽(yan)(yan)區范圍內排(pai)序，就再也沒(mei)有回升過。從《青口鹽(yan)(yan)場(chang)志》1924——2000年(nian)鹽(yan)(yan)產統計表中看(kan)(kan)，建(jian)國(guo)(guo)(guo)前至建(jian)國(guo)(guo)(guo)時(shi)最(zui)高年(nian)產54605噸（1949年(nian)），建(jian)國(guo)(guo)(guo)后最(zui)高年(nian)產135963噸（1978年(nian)）。從《江蘇(su)省鹽(yan)(yan)業志》上，可以(yi)看(kan)(kan)到1924——1947年(nian)準北(bei)四場(chang)（板浦(pu)、中正、臨興后改為濤(tao)青、濟南(nan)）排(pai)序中、1978——2008年(nian)省屬全(quan)部國(guo)(guo)(guo)營鹽(yan)(yan)場(chang)海鹽(yan)(yan)產量統計排(pai)序中，青口鹽(yan)(yan)場(chang)幾乎都居末端。
