Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This book is the famous work of Qin Hui, a famous thinking scholar in my country. It was first published in 1996.
Taking the debate between Mao Zedong and Liang Shuming seventy years ago on whether there is class antagonism in Chinese society as an opportunity, the author starts with analyzing the "Guanzhong Model" of old China. On the basis of mastering a large amount of social survey data, he uses the analytical methods of Western sociological science to re-examine the social representation of the three elements of feudal society (namely natural economy, patriarchal community and dependent personality) in China, and points out that the contradiction between the powerful and the common people is the main social contradiction; then he conducts in-depth research on the main body of society - peasants (peasant personality, peasant mentality, peasant culture), reviews the success and failure of many peasant uprisings in Chinese history, deeply analyzes the "duality" of peasants, and reveals the roots of Chinese society's long-term adherence to "agricultural civilization"; horizontally combines the Soviet collective farms and the American agricultural development path, conducts a synchronous logical analysis of peasants and peasant society, and explores the development path of agricultural social modernization from the source.
This reprint, despite more than a decade of social change, the author's profound analysis and understanding of Chinese society is still convincing: China is a country of farmers. China's modernization process is ultimately a process of transformation of peasant society. This process is not only about transforming the agricultural population into urban population, but more importantly, it is about transforming the peasant culture, mentality and personality. Let the peasants "come out of the idyllic agricultural civilization and compose a rhapsody of China's modernization with their developed free personality."
