Why is China's farming economy called precocity?

The precocity of farming economy makes China culture dignified. The diversified structure of farming economy promoted the all-round development of feudal society and economy in China and created the splendid ancient culture in China. However, China's farming economy is both premature and immature, which also contributes to the precocity and dignified character of China culture.

China had the idea of respecting morality and protecting the people as early as the pre-Qin period, and the people were the foundation of the country. However, this thought did not develop normally during the Warring States Period, and so did China's science and technology. The precocity of farming economy and culture in China, coupled with the pluralistic structure of China society, enhanced the resilience of traditional society.

With the transition of feudal society in China from the early stage to the later stage, China culture is more and more dignified and conservative. First, the persistence of farming economy has created the continuity of China culture, and the sustainable development of traditional agriculture has ensured the continuity 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. Natural conditions:

Because of its superior geographical location, most of China is located in the mid-latitude, with a mild climate, and has the largest suitable farming area in the world. In addition, it is rainy and hot in the same season in summer, and the temperature and humidity conditions are well coordinated, which is very suitable for breeding.

Farming culture originated from alluvial plain, with superior conditions, self-sufficiency and no external demand. It is just repeated farming in the same area, which is static, conservative and peace-oriented. Nomadic people originated from grassland, with harsh environment and insufficient internal resources. They need to seek plunder from the outside, have the desire to overcome, be mobile, enterprising and advocate force.

China culture, including farming culture and nomadic culture, has diversity, which is closely related to natural conditions. Different geographical environments and material fields make people form different lifestyles and concepts. Farming people only pay attention to production, which is regular and quantitative, endless and slowly moving forward; Nomadic people have no fixed place, live on weeds, worship heaven and seek God, have universal religious beliefs, and their prosperity and decline are relatively short. Strong regional differences also give culture a strong regional color. Northerners are rough, bold and simple, and tend to be realistic; Southerners are delicate, euphemistic and flexible, and tend to be romantic.

Because China has a vast territory and a large latitude span, climate fluctuation generally only affects the north-south boundary of agricultural areas, and will not reduce its area, which provides a stable material foundation for the continuation of China culture. Agricultural nationalities attach importance to agriculture and rely on land, forming a conservative thought of combining man with land and emphasizing agriculture, restraining commerce and moving land. China's farming economy contains many economic components such as industry and commerce, which expands the internal activity space, maintains its own regeneration, adapts to the changes of the times, and maintains the long-standing culture of China.
