中国从春秋战国以来就是小农经济的汪洋大海。自鸦片战争以后,发生了极其巨大、深刻、曲折、悲惨的变化。农家耕织结合的自然经济日益分解和大批破产。破产农民在走投无路情况下,除四处逃亡外,只有困守农村当贫雇农。为了活命,贫困的农户又反过来需要“以织助耕”和耕织再结合。 Since the Spring and Autumn Period, China has been an ocean of small-scale peasants. Since the Opium War, tremendous, profound, tortuous and tragic changes took place. The combination of farming and weaving natural economy is increasingly decomposed and a large number of bankruptcy. In the case of desperation, only bankrupt farmers and poor peasants are trapped in rural areas except bankruptcy. In order to survive, poor farmers in turn need “to combine plowing with farming and weaving.”
