Reflections on the Postscript of Local China

The main content of Postscript of Rural China: The main content of Postscript of Rural China is that people who make a living by farming understand the value of soil. City people can despise country people with their rusticity, but in rural areas, "dirt" is their lifeblood. There is no doubt that the god who occupies the highest position in quantity is "land", the god closest to human nature, and an old couple who are in charge of all affairs in the countryside.

China is an ancient civilization that started with farming civilization and continues to develop. People in farming countries work in the fields and are self-sufficient and will not infringe on other people's property. Therefore, Fei Lao said in his book that the rural society is not an organization full of resistance, and the agricultural ethnic groups have suffered more.

However, nomadic civilization and marine civilization are different, and there is a desire to conquer in their blood, so this can also explain the mentality of China people in pursuing stability and peace, family harmony and prosperity. Among the four ancient civilizations, only Chinese civilization can last for 5,000 years because China people love peace and oppose war, but China people are not afraid of war.

As one of the four ancient civilizations, China's agricultural civilization plays a great role, because agriculture is directly taken from the land, and it is normal for families to settle down in the agricultural era. We can see that many rural families will not move away from their families for generations. They live in the same place. As a result, in rural society, everyone's activities are very narrow, and the contact between people is limited to a small range of people.
