"emphasizing agriculture and restraining business"

Impact:

Enthusiasm: The policy of "emphasizing agriculture and restraining business" really played a role in consolidating the new landlord class in the early feudal society.

Negativeness: Although the policy of "emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce" in Ming and Qing Dynasties could not completely prevent the development of folk commodity economy, it did hinder the growth of new factors of production relations, which was one of the important factors that made China fall behind the trend of world industrial civilization.
