This dissertation followsthe principle of unifying the history and logic, be guided by Marx theory, First outlinethe historical evolution of Chinese Farmers since the founding of new China from theperspective of history. Taking history as the foundation, this dissertation is mainlyfrom the five levels of social status, living conditions, social structure and socialmobility, social psychology to show Farmers from traditional to modern changes.From the history of traditional society in China, the Farmers are exploited andoppressed, because they do not have the means of production, and therefore they haveno right to speak. Natural economy, provide for oneself small production mode isdecided by the characteristics of the closed, narrow, lack of social communication andsocial contact life. Day in and day out, go round and begin again, repeating the simpleproductive labor. Such a state of life has formated the Farmers complex socialpsychology, that is the closed, conservative, be attached to their native land andunwilling to leave it, importance of experience rather than rational thinking.From the founding of new China to the reform and opening up, the ChineseFarmers in this period have experienced the changes in such aspects: mode ofproduction, way of life to the social and psychological. In the mode of production,Farmers from the land given to the individual management have changed into thecollective management in co-operative period; In the way of life, Farmers haveexperienced from the traditional to the modern, the transformation of moderncivilization, is slowly infiltrated into the process in the farmer’s life; In the hierarchical structure, Farmers from the political single stratification to the mainlyeconomic stratification, class structure taking class struggle as the key link graduallytransition to mainly economic stratification. In social mobility, Farmers haveexperienced by the disorderly flow in the early of New China to the stagnation,solidification transformation in the period of the co-operative. In social psychology,Farmers also have suffered the complex changes, from strengthening the selfconsciousness to the laking of individual consciousness, which be limited by thepolitical movement, from the folk gods to worship of the leader, from begging rich tothe mean.Reform and opening up opened the gates of China’s modernization, since thereform and opening up, Chinese Farmers in the tide of the industrialization,marketization, urbanization and informationization, through the baptism ofmodernization, from the mode of production to the way of life, from the social statusto social psychology, Farmers have undergone tremendous changes. From the specificpoint of view, in the mode of production, the Farmer has experienced a transformationfrom the collective production to the family business. As organizers and productors,the family gained autonomy and selection of production, the enthusiasm of Farmershas been fully mobilized. Mechanized production modernization has also beinggradually replaced the traditional small-scale production, science and technologycontribution rate of agriculture in the growing; In the way of life, Farmers havegradually changed the transitional small production to the market-oriented basedlifestyle, the living standards of Farmers also experienced from food and clothing towell-off transition; In the class structure, class structure of Farmers becomes more andmore complicated, is changing from single homogeneous stratum structure to themultiple heterogeneous social structure which consistent with the market economy,the modern transformation and with demands of modern society. The mobility ofFarmers than the previous increase gradually; In social psychology, in the period ofsocial transformation of Chinese Farmers, their Social psychology also showed thecomplexity of traditional and modern state, such as Consciousness of democracy andthe rule of law in modern unceasing enhancement, and traditional customs andmorality; Both the sense of competition, the concept of time and the traditionalfreedom sluggish.Through the comb of the evolution of Chinese Farmers since the founding of new China, We can draw the conclusion that, Chinese Farmers are experiencing thetransition from traditional to modern. In the process of the transformation, Farmershave to face difficulties and problems. The main problems faced in the transitionperiod of Chinese Farmers are listed：Firstly the farmer social stratum structure isunreasonable, the class curing serious phenomenon; Secondly Farmer quality is nothigh, aging phenomenon is engaged in agricultural production seriously;Thirdlydamage to the farmers in the process of urbanization and interests, migrant workersinto the city problems; Fourthly a large number of rural left-behind people is in theworried living condition.So, we see, in today’s China, The Farmer seemed to become a major socialproblem of the bearing, which means The Farmer itself is not the problem. Theproblem is in the process of modernization, which beared by the main social groups ofFarmers. The problem is not terrible, Marx said, the contradiction is the ultimatepower to promote the development of things. Therefore, we should face up to thesesocial problems, to examine these issues from the social modernization development,to resolve social problems actively and effectively.Coming from history, must with the traces of history, good or bad, reviews thehistorical evolution of Chinese Farmers since the founding of new China, The moreimportant is to predict the likely future development of Chinese Farmers picture.Where our Farmers will go? In my poinion, development target is cultivating the newmodernization of farmers in the modern civic sense.At present, we are in the critical period of comprehensive building well-offsociety, the market economy reform, political democracy, social citizen are the trendwhich can not stop. The Farmers will also realize the transformation from traditionalto modern in this social change. The modern peasant is the future trend of ourFarmer’s development. It abandoned the traditional connotation of Farmer identityand adds the new meaning of its occupation, knowledge, and the citizens. In therealization of the great journey of Chinese Farmers will achieve its gorgeous turn. Weare looking forward to it.
