What are the characteristics of self-cultivation economy?

A: ① Features: The biggest feature of China's traditional farming economy is the self-sufficient feudal natural small-scale peasant economy. The description of self-sufficient feudal natural small-scale peasant economy may be too general, and it has many specific characteristics. In addition to the persistence, multi-structure and precocity mentioned in the book Introduction to China Culture, I think there are closure, moderation, patience, blindness, complementarity, fragility and tenacity.

First of all, it is closed. China's traditional farming economy is a self-sufficient natural economy, with one household as a unit, men plowing and women weaving, and its operation scale is small. The products produced are to meet their own needs, and there is no need for market and commodity exchange. As a place for commodity trading, the market is changing rapidly. At the same time, people who trade in the market come from all over the world, which in itself is a good place for information dissemination. Because people have little contact with the market, they only perceive changes in the outside world through people's hearsay, so closure is inevitable. At the same time, the farming economy takes Niu Geng as the main model, and it is intensively cultivated. People spend most of their time tied to the land and have little contact with society. Based on the above two factors, it is self-evident that the traditional farming economy in China is closed.

Secondly, talk about the golden mean. What is the golden mean? The doctrine of the mean is an idea of Confucianism, which takes an impartial and eclectic attitude towards people: the doctrine of the mean. As the essence of China's traditional culture, the golden mean can be spread in the history of China until now, and it can't be separated from the economic foundation of your existence, that is, the golden mean of China's traditional farming economy. Perhaps the golden mean of China's traditional farming economy is not easy to understand. Simply put, it's resignation. No matter what happens, the most adopted measures are resignation, which also creates another feature of China's traditional farming economy-patience. These two characteristics can be seen from the peasant uprising in the history of China. Peasant uprisings in China's history were not as normal as workers' strikes in western society, but only when they really reached the point where they could not survive. At the same time, even if a peasant uprising is launched, only a small number of peasants will participate in it, and the road to peasant uprising is often not far away. The reason is that the traditional farming economy in China is mild and patient, and farmers are too easy to satisfy the reality.

Third, talk about blindness. In addition to food crops, China's traditional farming economy also grows a small number of cash crops. Farmers' choice of cash crop varieties mainly depends on two aspects, one is experience, and the other is to follow the trend and plant whatever others plant. Traditional farmers can no longer trust their own experience, because they and even their ancestors lived like this. Even if they can't, they won't doubt their own experience, but blame it on time and tide wait for no man, and they haven't burned enough incense for the Buddha. The idea of following the trend is actually a manifestation of farmers' ignorance. In their view, so many people have chosen this, so it should be the right choice. Even if it is wrong, so many people are wrong together, it is not wrong. In fact, no matter from which aspect, it can be explained that farmers' agricultural activities are very blind, and it is impossible not to blindly develop China's traditional farming economy in this environment.

Fourthly, we talked about complementarity. Complementarity and pluralistic structure have some similarities. China has a vast territory, different natural conditions and different agricultural development, and the traditional farming economy in China is highly complementary. When some natural disasters occur in some areas, on the one hand, we can transfer food from other places to help the disaster, on the other hand, we can learn from the experience and lessons of other places in dealing with disasters, and there is also the planting and transplanting of crops, because a certain crop is always planted in some places first, and then slowly transplanted to areas with suitable natural environment. Of course, the exchange of agricultural experience in different places is also very complementary.

Finally, talk about fragility and tenacity. China's traditional agricultural economy is based on small-scale peasant production. Small farmers have simple production tools, low production efficiency and weak ability to cope with natural disasters. Therefore, the traditional farming economy in China is based on abundant years. If the year is bad and natural disasters occur frequently, the traditional farming economy in China will collapse, which has to be said that the traditional farming economy in China is fragile. However, natural disasters occurred frequently in the history of China, including dozens of times recorded by Huang Wenxian. However, China's traditional farming economy did not collapse. On the contrary, it did shine brilliantly on the world stage, which should be the best embodiment of the tenacity of China's traditional economy.

The traditional farming economy in China is a self-sufficient feudal natural small-scale peasant economy. At the same time, China has a vast territory, resulting in significant regional differences. Under the comprehensive effect of these two aspects, the traditional farming economy in China has the characteristics of persistence, multi-structure, precocity, closeness, moderation, patience, blindness, complementarity, fragility and toughness.

② Influence: The influence of China's traditional natural economy on the development of China culture is reflected in three aspects: First, the persistence of farming economy has created the continuation of China culture, and the continuous development of traditional agriculture has ensured the continuation of Chinese civilization, making it have great endurance, healing power and cohesion; Secondly, the diversified structure of farming economy has created the inclusiveness of China culture. China culture not only contains hundreds of thoughts and cultures from different regions, but also absorbs the excellent civilizations of neighboring ethnic minorities for a long time; Thirdly, the precocity of farming economy promoted the dignity and precocity of China culture.

The persistence of farming economy is a remarkable feature of China's traditional natural economy, which has created the continuity of Chinese civilization and its great endurance, healing power and cohesion.

The early stereotype of China culture is an important reason for China's cultural conservatism.

The pluralistic structure of farming economy makes China culture inclusive.

The precocity and immaturity of China's agricultural economy led to the precocity and nobility of China culture.
