农业伦理视域下二十四节气与现代农业生产体系的耦合

The Coupling of the 24 Solar Terms from the Perspective of Agricultural Ethics and the Modern Agricultural Production System

二十四节气是我国劳动人民长期对物候、气象、天文进行观测、探索、总结的时间制度,用来指导农业生产,安排农民生活。其中蕴含的敬畏天时、施德于地、适度取予、精慎管理的四大农业伦理维度,在现代农业生产中仍具有重要的实践意义与现实意义。二十四节气与现代农业生产的应然耦合,主要体现在思想观念方面,包括自然环境的保护、气节精神的追求和民俗文化的认同。在二十四节气被列入人类非物质文化遗产名录的背景下,赋予二十四节气以生命力,挖掘节气的农业伦理内涵,解决现代农业生产体系中不符合农业可持续健康发展的问题,是生态文明建设的应有之义。基于农业伦理二十四节气的传统农业与现代农业生产体系的耦合,也是传统农业向现代农业生产体系转型的过程。

The 24 solar terms should be counted as a time system summed up by Chinese laboring people on the basis of long-term observation and exploration of phenology, meteorology and astronomy. They have been used to guide agricultural production and arrange farmers' life. The four agricultural ethical dimensions in them of respecting the climate, making reasonable use of land, fetching and bestowing properly, and managing accurately and cautiously, are still of great practical significance to modem agricultural production. The necessary coupling between the 24 solar terms and modem agricultural production is mainly revealed in ideology, including the protection of the natural environment, the pursuit of moral spirit and the identity of folk culture. When the 24 solar terms have been included in the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, it is a due responsibility for ecological civilization construction to bring vitality to the 24 solar terms, to delve into their agricultural ethic connotations and to solve those problems in the modem agricultural production system which hinder the sound and sustainable development of agriculture. The coupling of traditional agriculture based on the ethical 24 solar terms and the modem agricultural production system is a transition from the former to the latter.
