Advantages and disadvantages of Chinese traditional agricultural model

1. Small-scale production and business operation units: taking individual families as units, engaged in agricultural production and business operation on extremely small and scattered plots. 2. The production tools are human, animal and hand tools, and the technology and operation are very simple: the traditional agricultural methods in China are ploughing, hoeing, cutting and threshing. For thousands of years, tools have been plows, wood leaks, shovels, hoes, sickles and so on. , can be operated by 1 person. 3. Production is a natural division of labor: the so-called natural division of labor is to arrange production according to the gender, age, weather, rain, day and night and four seasons of family members.

First, the five characteristics of small-scale peasant economy

1, the production and business operation unit is small.

(1) mainly engaged in agricultural production and management on very narrow and scattered land, taking individual families as units.

(2) Since ancient times, the family population of individual farmers is generally between 2 and 5 people, and the labor force is between 2 and 4 people, occupying several acres to 20 acres of cultivated land.

(3) Now the peasant families in China have become smaller, and the per capita arable land is less than 2 mu.

2, making tools for people, animals, hand tools, technology and operation are very simple.

Traditional agricultural methods in China include ploughing, hoeing, cutting and threshing. For thousands of years, the tools used in these methods have been plows, wooden shovels, shovels, hoes and sickles. Even 1 person can operate, and the technology is simple and easy to learn.

3. Production is a natural division of labor.

(1) Natural division of labor is to arrange agricultural production according to natural conditions such as gender, age, weather, day and night, and four seasons of family members.

(2) This intuitive and simple natural division of labor can fully mobilize the labor force of men, women and children in the family and make full use of the time of spring, summer, autumn and winter, day and night, sunny and rainy.

4. Strong regeneration ability

(1) The economic productivity of small farmers is relatively low. If they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they are easy to go bankrupt. However, their production conditions are easy to meet because of their small scale, simple production tools, easy mastery of technical traditions, self-sufficiency and simple reproduction.

(2) Small-scale peasant economy can rely on labor to resume production as long as it has a small piece of land.

5. Economic management is the combination of family management and production and operation.

(1) Small-scale peasant economy is a simple traditional tool and technology based on peasant families, with natural division of labor and self-sufficiency.

(2) Generally, it is simple production, and family management will be combined with production and management.

Second, the advantages and disadvantages of small-scale peasant economy

1, Li

It provided an economic basis for ancient rulers to maintain political power; Farmers can be self-sufficient and live a relatively stable life; The land is privately cultivated, and farmers are more enthusiastic about production; It is conducive to the formation of ancient stable social forms and traditional ideology and culture.

2. Deficiencies

(1) Farmers live and work very hard and are easily affected by the natural environment, so they are very fragile.

(2) Small-scale peasant economy is difficult to expand reproduction because of its small production scale and simple gender division of labor, which will hinder the development of social division of labor and exchange economy.

(3) The closed and conservative small-scale peasant economy will not only restrict the development of modern science and technology, but also bring many obstacles to the budding development of capitalist economy.

(4) Because the small-scale peasant economy relies too much on the natural environment, it also intensifies the contradiction between man and land and will destroy the ecological environment.
