中国传统农业科技与文化作为活态的物质文化遗产,至今仍在中国的农业生产实践中有着广泛的应用,但是我们一般会把它看作是落后与过时的东西。就在我们全力推进农业现代化的进程中,一些发达国家却提出“向中国传统农业学习”的命题。这是发思古之幽情吗?理应不是。他们应该是感受到了现代农业的某些缺失,而体悟到了传统农业的某些价值。那么中国农业具有哪些优良传统、价值与意义,何以能数千年可持续发展?我们中国人有责任、有权利予以解答。 As an active material and cultural heritage, traditional Chinese agricultural science and technology and culture still have a wide range of applications in China’s agricultural production practice. However, we generally regard it as something backward and outdated. Just as we vigorously promoted agricultural modernization, some developed countries have proposed the proposition of “learning from traditional Chinese agriculture.” Is this a reflection of ancient times? It should not be. They should have felt some of the deficiencies of modern agriculture and realized some of the value of traditional agriculture. So what are the fine traditions, values ​​and meanings of China’s agriculture? How can we sustain the sustainable development for thousands of years? We in China have the responsibility and the right to answer them.
