乡土中国的命运与农业文化遗产的未来

Fate of Rural China and Future of Agricultural Heritage

从农业文化遗产视角看现代化背景下的乡土中国,“集体失忆边缘的乡村”是当下的现实状态。农业文化遗产保护实质上是一种特殊的文化干预,透过对乡民记忆和情感的唤醒,让他们重新发现自己、重新发现村庄,重新认识乡土社会的特殊意义和价值。作为农耕文明杰出代表的农业文化遗产,是现代农业生态转型的基础,并与现代农业形成“古今相融、择善而用”的双向度交流、采借和交融关系。年轻一代的探索、实践与选择,为农业文化遗产保护注入了新的精神动力,延续并拓展农耕文明体系的根脉。

Viewed from the perspective of agricultural heritage preservation in the context of modernization,China's rural areas now are facing a situation where"villages are on the verge of losing their collective memory".Agricultural heritage preservation is in fact a cultural intervention that has a special significance and value in reawakening such"lost memory"among villagers,thus allowing them to rediscover their villages and village community.As a token of the legacy of agricultural civilization,agricultural heritage is the basis for the ecological transformation of modern agriculture.It is connected to modern agriculture through a two-way mechanism of mutual learning,borrowing and blending on the principle of"seeking what is best from both the old and the new".The explorations,practices and choices made by a new generation of farmers have injected a new vigor to the preservation of this heritage,allowing it to spread its saplings far and wide around its root.
