对农业文化遗产保护的历史与文化反思

Historical and Cultural Rethinking on the Conservation of Agricultural Heritage

中国的文化遗产主要是以农耕文明为代表的农业文化遗产。在全球经济一体化背景下,技术更新、文化变化日新月异,人口较少的农业文化遗产地在社会大变迁中,如何保护好农业文化遗产并使其长期生存发展是摆在我们面前的一个重要议题。目前,联合国粮农组织发起的全球重要农业文化遗产(GIAHS)保护倡议和农业农村部开展的中国重要农业文化遗产(Chi⁃na-NIAHS)发掘与保护工作已经产生了良好的社会影响。我们需要对农业文化遗产保护进行历史与文化反思,唤起全民族对于农耕文明优良传统的文化觉醒,通过农业文化遗产保护的“文化自觉”,使农业文化遗产在社会变革中得以传承发展。
