前言我国古代高度重视土壤耕作在农业增产中的重要作用,并且在生产实践中不断探索土壤耕作的理论与技术。因此,我国早在战国时代就产生了“耕道论”。所谓“耕道论”,也就是有关土壤耕作原理和原则的理论说明。战国以后的各个历史时期中,有许多农学家也都把“耕道论”作为他们编撰《农书》的重要内容。研究我国传统农学中的“耕道论”,对于了解我国古代土壤耕作理论和技术的产生和发展,继承和发扬我国农业精耕细作的优良传统,具有重要意义。本文试图对我国古代“耕道论”的产生和发展及其基本内容进行一些初步的分析和探讨。 Preface China’s ancient times attaches great importance to the important role of soil cultivation in increasing agricultural production, and constantly explore the theory and technology of soil cultivation in production practice. Therefore, as early as in the Warring States Period, our country had produced “farming theory.” The so-called “farming theory”, that is, the theory of soil cultivation principles and principles. During the various historical periods after the Warring States, many agronomists also regarded “farming theory” as an important part of their compilation of “agricultural books.” Studying “farming theory” in traditional agronomy of our country is of great significance in understanding the generation and development of ancient Chinese theory and technology of soil cultivation, inheriting and carrying forward the fine tradition of agricultural intensive farming in our country. This article tries to make some preliminary analyzes and discussions on the emergence and development of ancient “farming theory” and its basic content.
