略述先秦诸子对于农业灾难的认识

On Understanding of Agricultural Disasters of the pre-Qin Philosophers

农业作为立国之本,对于人们生存国家富强的意义不言而喻,然而古代中国农业灾难频繁发生,极大地影响着农业的产出和人们的生活。面对这种情形,先秦时期具有真知灼见的先哲们,对于农灾的发生的自然原因和社会人为原因都有相当的认识,并且对如何有效地防治灾难的发生和减轻灾难的破坏,做了积极的探讨。这些认识是后代系统的防治农灾思想的源头,对于今天的生产生活也有一定的意义。

Agriculture is the foundation of our country, whose significance to people＇s life and country＇s prosperity is self--evident. But the ancient Chinese agricultural disasters occurred frequently, which greatly affected the agricultural production and people＇s life. Faced with this situation, pre--Qin philosophers of high perspicacity, had considerable un- derstanding of natural causes and social reason of agricultural disasters, and they had a positive discussion on how to effectively control the disasters and destruction of disasters relief. This knowledge is the source of agricultural disaster prevention system of ideological descendants, of certain significance for today＇s oroduction and life.
