Day33农业的价值

According to the Lu-shih Ch'un-ch'iu, the farmers are primitive and simple and so to be pleased to accept. Oppositely, the merchants are corrupt and treacherous and so to be not obedient. And apparently, when their country is in danger, the famers stay to protect their land while the merchants abandon it. In a word, people's lifestyle and evaluation of agriculture is confined to their economic settings. And we can make it clear that Taoism and Confucianism both express the aspirations and inspirations of the famers though in polarized sights.
