The Integration of Agricultural Civilization and Ideological and Political Education in Universities from the Perspective of Modern Chinese Civilization
Agricultural civilization forms the bedrock of Chinese history and culture,and it is the fertile ground from which Chinese civilization has grown.The integration of this agricultural heritage into university-level ideological and political education is justified by a tripartite logic:it offers a wealth of spiritual and cultural nourishment for such education,it continues and promotes traditional agricultural wisdom,and it innovatively advances the scope of university ideological and political education by tapping into the modern worth of agricultural civilization.The deep historical and cultural legacy of agricultural civilization—such as the ecological ethos of"harmony between man and nature,"the philosophical tenet of"unity between heaven and earth,"the agricultural ethos of"esteeming agriculture and grains"to avert famine,the tradition of"intensive cultivation and meticulous care"for bountiful yields with minimal inputs,and the sustainable development conception of"constantly renewing land resources"with a balance between use and rejuvenation—provides a rich tapestry of materials and insights for contemporary university ideological and political education.The fusion of agricultural civilization with university-level ideological and political education can be fostered through a threefold approach:investigation and research,system development,and practical instruction.This integration is not only educationally significant for the cultivation of virtue and talent but also pragmatically essential for the construction of a robust agricultural nation.
