陶渊明的田园时光、柯布先生的生态愿景与中国当下新农村建设
|
摘要
农村工作是现代中国立国的根本、发展强盛的关键。小约翰·柯布先生指出:农业不仅是一种产业,更重要的还是一种"文化",传承农业文化、树立尊重耕种文化的新态度,农民就有可能过上比城市居民更加健康美好的生活,而中国正是当今世界最有可能实现生态文明的地方。要使未来的人类社会变得更美好一些,在现代化道路上勇往直前是不足取的,必须从根本上认识到"现代化"的偏颇,矫正其弊端,真诚地吸纳各民族传统文化中的精华,从而开辟一个与以往大不相同的新时代。对照柯布先生提出的有机农业、生态农业的设想,陶渊明的前现代的田园时光,还是可以为当下建设后现代新农村提供诸多借鉴的。面对地球人类苦苦追求的"共同福祉",陶渊明的"田园时光"、柯布先生的"生态愿景"、中国政府的"新农村建设"已具备了共同的语境。
Rural work is fundamental for modern China to develop and flourish. Mr. John Cobb points out that agriculture is not only a kind of industry,more importantly,it represents one "culture"—if we inherit the agricultural culture and set up the new attitude of respecting farming culture,the farmers may live a healthy and wonderful life that is even better than city dwellers. China is just the place where the ecological civilization may be realized first in the world. In order that human society become better in the future,it is not acceptable to advance directly in the modernization road. It is necessary to get to know fundamentally the serious shortcoming of "modernization"and correct its defects,while absorbing sincerely the essence from traditional culture of all the nations,so as to establish a new era that is quite different from all the past time. When compared with the conception of organic and ecological agriculture raised by Mr. Cobb,and the idyllic life of Tao Yuanming before the modernization,it is possible to provide some references for the current construction of post-modern new villages. Facing the "common welfare"pursued hardly by human beings on earth,we can see that Tao Yuanming's"idyllic life",Mr. Cobb's"ecological vision",and "construction of new villages"raised by Chinese government now have the same language context.
