Confucian agrarianism

Confucian agrarianism is a philosophy emphasizing the importance of agriculture and rural life as the foundation of a stable, virtuous society. It values farming, respect for tradition, harmony with nature, and social relationships rooted in filial piety and hierarchy. Confucians believe that a well-ordered society depends on moral cultivation among its citizens, with farmers playing a crucial role in maintaining social stability. This perspective promotes a harmonious balance between human effort and nature, fostering social virtues through a close connection to the land and rural community life.
