Abstract:

To show time-honored China’s agricultural ecological wisdom, promote the integration and symbiosis of “ecological wisdom—ecological practice—ecological civilization”, we summarized the ecological wisdom and planning thinking of China’s agricultural land use through document analysis and induction of historical classics and traditional agricultural practices. The research shows that the ecological wisdom of agricultural land use in China is reflected by the favorable weather, favorable geographical position, and the emphasis on human resources. The overall ecological concept, time cycle thinking and factor planning thought are the external manifestation of the planning thinking of agricultural land use in China. In urban-rural spatial planning and rural revitalization, the wholeness mode of thinking should be set up, including conducting spatial allocation under the perspective of the community of life for man and nature to realize the people-oriented urbanization, controlling the spatial planning of the land demarcation line to lay a foundation for future spatial layout; building the system of natural parks to form a sound protection shield for national ecological safety; promoting urban-rural integration and rural revitalization to narrow the gap between urban and achieve shared prosperity; and keeping the strategic margin to realize the added value of urban-rural development. In the overall planning of land and population elements, it is advocated to give play to the subjective initiative of people. Although agricultural land use in ancient China is small-scale land use and ecological practice, its ecological wisdom is still of positive significance for understanding and promoting the practice of land spatial planning today.

Key words: China’s agriculture, ecological wisdom, land use planning, planning enlightenment, planning thinking, spatial planning, rural revitalization
