The scope of traditional Chinese agricultural production culture includes the concept of big agriculture

The scope of China's traditional agricultural production culture includes the specifics of the concept of big agriculture:

1. Dà Nóngyè (大农业): Big agriculture refers to the mode of agricultural operation that is larger in scale and more intensive in its mode of production. In China's traditional agricultural society, large agriculture is often contrasted with small and medium-sized agriculture. Characteristics of large-scale agriculture include large-scale farming, intensive use of land, application of a variety of agricultural technologies, and division of labor. It was often associated with landlords, gentry and other people of high social status.

2. Small-farmer economy: Small-farmer economy is one of the main modes of production in traditional Chinese agricultural society. Smallholder economy refers to an economic model based on small-scale agricultural production. The smallholder economy is characterized by decentralized production units, a relatively small area of cultivated land, labor provided mainly by the farmers themselves, and relatively simple production methods. This model has existed for a long time in rural China and is especially dominant in rural society.

3. Agricultural seasons: In the traditional Chinese culture of agricultural production, agricultural seasons are an important concept of agricultural time, which refers to different agricultural activities, such as spring plowing, summer planting, autumn harvesting, winter storage, etc., according to the seasonal changes and climatic conditions. The following of agricultural seasons is the basic law of farmers' agricultural production.
