What are the characteristics of ancient agriculture in China?

1, which is the basic unit of production and life, is mainly based on planting and supplemented by family agriculture.

2. Intensive cultivation mode of production.

3. Self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy.

Generally speaking, the ancient agricultural economy in China was feudal and self-sufficient, and the commodity economy was underdeveloped. The purpose of agricultural production is to meet its own needs, not to exchange them. In addition to paying land rent and taxes, a small amount of agricultural products and handicrafts are exchanged for goods needed for life, and most of them are used for their own survival. Self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy has seriously hindered China's transition to a market economy, resulting in China's long-term backwardness and great restrictions on industry and technology.
