论丁颖对西方农学本土化的卓越贡献

On Ding Ying’s Outstanding Contribution to the Localization of Western Agronomy

现代农学起源于西方,它的理论和方法具有普遍的有效性,具有普世的价值。但它的内部形态和外部表征又是具体而丰富多彩的,就是西方各国也不完全一致,因而又有鲜明的区域性。丁颖作为“中国稻作科学之父”、中国现代农学的重要奠基人之一,不仅重视和熟悉西方农学的一整套理论方法,而且他一贯反对盲目照搬别国的东西,反对全盘西化的“仆从式”做法。纵向,他从博大精深的中国历史出发,从中国数千年形成的经验农法中汲取营养;横向,他从社会的和自然的生态学观点出发,密切结合中国的社会实际和自然环境条件,形成一个纵横交错的立体的方法,在稻作起源嬗变、稻种的分类、品种的选育、水稻栽培和稻区划分诸方面进行了卓有成效的本土化研究,十分具有中国特色、中国风格和中国气派。

Modern agronomy originated in the west,whose theories and methods have universal validity and universal values.Its internal form and external representation are concrete and colorful,even different in forms among western countries,which has obvious regional characteristics.As the father of Chinese rice farming science and one of the important founders of modern Chinese agronomy,Ding Ying not only attached importance to and was familiar with a whole set of theoretical methods of western agronomy.He always opposed to blindly following the experience of other countries and"servant-style"practice of the all-out westernization.Longitudinally speaking,Ding Ying started from the profound Chinese history,and got enlightenment from Chinese traditional agriculture of thousands of years.Horizontally speaking,Ding Ying started from the social and natural ecological point of view,and closely combined with China’s social reality and its natural conditions to construct a crisscrossing three-dimensional approach.In that way,he carried out fruitful localization researches on the origin and evolution of rice,the classification of rice species,the breeding of varieties,rice cultivation,and the division of rice areas,which was featured by Chinese characteristics and style.
