What are the characteristics of farming economy in China's traditional society?

The biggest feature of China's traditional farming economy is the self-sufficient feudal natural small-scale peasant economy. There is no need for market and commodity exchange, and self-sufficient production is carried out with families as the unit to meet their own survival needs, that is, what we call male farming and female weaving is very closed, which binds farmers to the land and the productivity cannot develop by leaps and bounds. Therefore, China experienced nearly two thousand years of feudal society, but there was no great leap in productivity in essence.

The small-scale peasant thought of resignation is the basis of the implementation of Confucian culture and the breeding ground of personality worship. It was also the economic basis of the Qing dynasty's closed door-because self-sufficiency did not need to communicate with the outside world. The farming economy of two thousand years had a great influence on China culture, and almost everything that happened next was related to it. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the unprecedented worship of the leaders of Mao Zedong and other countries is also a drawback of the thought of small farmers for thousands of years: it is easy to worship national leaders as emperors in feudal times. The long-term suppression of Confucian culture and small-scale peasant economy made the people at that time have no democratic consciousness. People's minds are generally not open. Planned economy is similar to small-scale peasant economy to a certain extent, which will suppress productivity and deny the role of the market.

Even now, it has been 20 years since the reform and opening up, and only a few coastal provinces have really become rich. People on the mainland are still poisoned by this kind of closure.
