白居易《策林》“天人合一”的农业思想

BAI Juyi's Agricultural Thought of“The Harmony of Human and Nature”in Celin

《策林》共七十五篇,是白居易元和元年,为参加制举考试,独自拟作而成。在《策林》中,白居易对农业的重要性有充分的认识和具体的论述。他认为,农业是衣食之源、立国之本,是人民得以生存的基本手段,社会得以存在的重要基础。在继承传统的“天人合一”的哲学思想的基础上,白居易提出,农业的发展应“上法天道”,要顺应自然规律,“均上下之田”,加强土地管理。并且强调人在农业生产中的作用。白居易的这些农业思想在他的诗文中都有所体现,表现了对农民疾苦极大的同情,这点是难能可贵的。
