以历史典籍为根据,结合出土文献,对彻法、作爰田、“三农”等中国上古时期的农业问题进行了新的探究。认为彻法是一种作田法,而非是赋税征收的一种方式;作爰田即把一亩地分成两块,轮流耕种;《周礼》中的“三农”不是指三种土地,而是指上、中、下三等人口多少不同、授田数量有异的农户,代指农民。 Based on the historical records and the unearthed documents, a new exploration is made on the agricultural problems in ancient China in areas such as Toru-t’ang, T’ien-t’ang, and ’San-nong’. It is thought that the law of thoroughfare is a method of field law, not a method of tax collection; that is, a field of land is divided into two by a rotation and cultivated by turns; the “three rural” in “Zhou Li” does not mean three Land, but refers to the upper, middle and lower third population, the number of different, granted a different number of farmland farmers, on behalf of the peasants.
