DREAMS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Since modern times, China's ancient agricultural civilization has been facing many crises in the face of the surging Western industrial civilization, and the those who were worried about the country and the people had all attempted to understand China from the "countryside" and "rural areas" and pondered the way out for China. Whether theorists, practitioners, reformers, or revolutionaries, they all explored the path of rebirth and revival of ancient China from the perspective of "rural" and "countryside".

The rural thoughts and practical exploration of scholars of the past have shown great influences in China's modern history, and now, under the new historical conditions, the construction of a new socialist countryside is in full swing, and the exploration of "local land" continues. This book attempts to summarize China's "rural" thinking and relevant practices over the past 100 years, and provide reference for the construction of a new socialist countryside.
