中国传统农家学派源流考

Research on the Origin and Development of Chinese Agricultural School

战国时期中国传统农家学派得以形成。然而作为一个独立的学派,农家学派却在战国以后,逐渐淡出历史舞台。笔者从上古帝王农神传说入手,采用史学考辨的基本方法,探究传统农家学派的学术思想渊源及其流变,发现传统农家学派的学术思想源自上古帝王农神传说及农稷之官。依据农家学派的学术渊源和学说重点不同,可以将农家学派划分为神农流派和后稷流派。战国以后,农家学派的发展流变可追踪为农家学派重农思想表达的官方化;农业生产经验总结的专业化及融入其他学派。
