摘要:: 中华民族自古以农业为安身立命之本。在长期的农业生产实践中，历代先民积累了系统完备的耕作技术经验，形成了自成体系的农业科学技术思想，也逐步塑造了独具特色的农业伦理理论。中华农业文明孕育了传统农业伦理，传统农业伦理又支配和约束着中华农业文明发展的历史进程。二者辩证统一，相辅相成，共同历经了一个漫长的演变过程。中国万余年农耕畜牧的发展历史产生了包含“天地人稼四才论”、用养结合、农牧互补在内的诸多农业生产原则和农业伦理。它们在农业生产实践中有很多具体而生动的表现形式。传统农业伦理是使得古老中华文明延续至今的重要因素，对实现中国特色现代农业的可持续发展也会发挥积极的指导借鉴作用。

They are dialectical unified, complement each other, which went through a long process of evolution together.

Traditional agricultural ethics is an important factor that makes the ancient Chinese civilization up to now, which plays a positive role in guiding reference to the achievement of sustainable development of modern agriculture with Chinese characteristics.
