How does farming civilization affect the backwardness of modern science and technology?

The long-term stability and closure of China's traditional farming culture caused the defects of China's national character, which provided a heavy hotbed for the formation of backward and blind national ideology in the future.

Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the gradually closed international vision has further stimulated the extremely conservative elements in the national foreign policy and national ideology, dragged down the liberation and innovation of the national social productive forces, and made the national mainstream cultural consciousness tend to be closed.

This vicious accumulation finally broke out completely at the end of Qing Dynasty after a hundred years, which caused the realistic foundation of China's decline internally.

Impact:

Agricultural civilization determines the characteristics of China culture. China culture is different from nomadic culture, in which agriculture plays a decisive role. The agricultural civilization of intensive farming in groups has bred a self-sufficient lifestyle, cultural traditions, agricultural policy concepts, rural management systems, etc., which coincides with the concept of harmony, environmental protection and low carbon advocated today.

Historically, nomadic civilization often disappeared suddenly because it could not adapt to the changes in the environment. The regional diversity, historical inheritance and local folklore of farming civilization not only endow Chinese culture with important characteristics, but also are the important reasons for its continuity and timelessness.
