1. Love peace and pursue harmony.
The mode of production of farming economy is mainly the combination of labor and land. The lifestyle of farming people is based on the fixed land, and a stable life is the premise of the development of farming society. This mode of production and lifestyle has formed the life interest of China people. Farmers want to stick to the land and have a fixed life. Sometimes, when they are farming, they pursue peace and stability, take "farming and reading" as pride, and take the use of force as a warning.
"The Analects of Confucius" said that "the author has been a country for a hundred years, and he can win every battle and kill it. Mozi: "The world loves each other, the countries don't attack each other, the home is not chaotic, and the thief is not there. Both the father and the son can be filial. If so, the world will be ruled. "..." Farming people oppose hostility and conflict. At the same time, because agricultural production is often influenced by weather and geography, the ancients worshipped nature and heaven and earth and attached great importance to the harmony between the universe and nature, especially the harmony between people. Harmony between man and nature, harmony between man and nature. All these show that people in agricultural society love peace and pursue the ideal of harmony.
Depending on the harmony between the universe and nature, the harmony between man and nature, especially the harmony between man and man, the harmony between man and nature and the unity between man and nature. All these show that people in agricultural society love peace and pursue the ideal of harmony.
2. Pragmatic spirit.
Long-term agricultural production has formed the simple character and pragmatic spirit of the Chinese nation. The pragmatic spirit of emphasizing reality and full of fantasy in China culture is closely related to the life experience of no pains, no gains in farming economy. The people of China have realized in their agricultural work that the benefits are unfortunate and their efforts have not been in vain. If they talk empty words and do practical things, they will gain something. This pragmatic style of farmers has also infected local people. "Adults are not flashy and pragmatic" is the spirit advocated by China and Tessa. Zhang Taiyan said in "Refuting the Stand of Confucianism": "The country will always keep it, and the actions of industry and commerce in daily life are not fully expressed. As a farming nation, the mindset and thinking method formed in the process of simple reproduction of small-scale agriculture is to pay attention to practical understanding. The Chinese nation is called by westerners as the nation that is best at handling practical affairs.
3. Diversity and great inclusiveness.
Because of China's vast territory and diverse geographical areas, the nomadic people in the north of China are constantly thriving with the development of farming civilization. The long-term confrontation between farming people and nomadic people has promoted their economic and cultural complementarity and national integration.
On the one hand, the northern nationalities are brave and brave, bold and unrestrained, with strong mobility, and are good at absorbing foreign cultures from afar, which has become a powerful agent for stable and elegant farming culture in the Central Plains; On the other hand, the advanced mode of production, political system and cultural technology of the farming people have promoted the changes in the social form of the nomadic people. All these have formed the cultural patterns of different regions in ancient China, such as Jin culture, Wu-Yue culture, Qilu culture, Chu-Song culture, etc., and made China culture diversified.
Farming civilization has a long history, which makes the development of China's farming economy always retain the economic components of each historical development stage vertically. Horizontally, farming economy is not only based on agricultural production, but also includes many economic components such as establishing industry and commerce. From the perspective of historical development, China's economy was a primitive cooperative agricultural natural economy in the three generations, and it was a combination of agriculture and cottage industry from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and in modern times, agriculture and industry and commerce coexisted. The diversified structure of China's ancient farming economy created the inclusive characteristics of China's traditional culture.
"Yi Zhuan Under Cohesion" puts forward that all the people in the world care about, are consistent, and all roads lead to the same goal, such as the integration of Confucianism and Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty. These different factions and different types of ideology and culture permeate each other and are inclusive and diverse, showing the grand spirit of Chinese culture "all rivers run into the sea".
4. Take the doctrine of the mean as the advanced philosophy.
China traditional culture emphasizes harmony and unity, and advocates the golden mean. "Take a fancy to harmony and stick to the golden mean. This is the spirit that permeates every pore of China culture. The golden mean is an important concept in China traditional culture. The doctrine of the mean says that emotions are not in the middle table, but in the middle table. If you are in the middle, you will be the foundation of the world. He who is in harmony is also in the world.
Neutrality, the position of heaven, the education of all things. The Doctrine of the Mean recognizes the opposition and the unity of opposites, and emphasizes solving contradictions with moderate, harmonious and moderate methods. In ancient China, the doctrine of the mean can be said to be a kind of advanced philosophy to adjust social contradictions to a neutral state. It is a kind of survival wisdom, which regards the common way as a theorem and the right way in the world, and requires people to be moderate, fair and balanced in everything. This coma of life wisdom comes from the soil of farming economy.
5. The conflict between centralized politics and people-oriented thought.
People-oriented thought and centralized politics in China's traditional culture are complementary to each other, which is formed by China's agricultural economy as the center. China's agricultural society is decentralized. In order to resist foreign enemies and maintain social stability, it is necessary to establish a unified and authoritative empire.
In ancient China. Thinkers of most schools have different degrees of respect for the monarch. People-oriented doctrine comes with centralization. The material materials on which the centralized political system depends must be produced by the people with farmers as the main body. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the agricultural patriarchal society function normally and the country be preserved.
A China based on agriculture is bound to have social consciousness of respecting and attaching importance to agriculture. Rulers should first understand the importance of farming and the hardships of farmers and care for the people. Laozi's sage is fickle, taking the people as the heart, Confucius's frugality of loving the people makes the people pay attention to the time, Mencius's people pay attention to the country, Xunzijun pays attention to the boat, and the numb people are also water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The theories of "Seven Politics" and "King Way" all embody the people-oriented thought in China's traditional politics. Centralized politics and people-oriented thought are interdependent and conflicting.
The pragmatic spirit of China traditional culture loves peace and pursues harmony, continuity and continuity; Dignity Showed by the Theory of Diversity and Huge Inclusive Cycle —— Taking the Doctrine of the Mean as the Advanced Philosophy: The formation of the interdependence and conflict between centralized politics and people-oriented thought is closely related to the farming economy. Farming economy is the economic basis for the emergence and development of traditional culture in China. It runs through the development of China's traditional culture, and has many influences on the formation of China's traditional cultural characteristics.
