Agriculture is the foundation of the country.A country's economic development and being strong are both relied on agriculture.Facing difficulties of economic development after the founding of new China,China requires to develop its agriculture construction as soon as possible.Since 1949,the state began to focus on the restoration of agricultural production,and took agricultural technology change as a breakthrough in the recovery and development of agriculture.Meanwhile,farm implements improvement,new farm implements and agricultural mechanization promotion were arranged as major measures in the process of technological change.After the founding of new China,Jiajiazhuang village in Fenyang County Shanxi Province carried on economic system and agricultural technical change according to their own natural and economic conditions in the process of promotion of agricultural technology by our station.Furthermore,it was known as one of the tenth best in national agricultural mechanization in 1965,and became one typical case worthy of attention in the rural agricultural technology practice of the collectivization period.In the implementation of agricultural mechanization process,Jiajiazhuang village got the technology change elements involved in agricultural production process.And at the same time the technology gradually internalized in rural society in the process of agricultural production,then became a powerful means of breaking the traditional factors.The intervention of technology has broken down the traditional pattern of agricultural production for thousands of years.The continuous development of institutional reform and the development of technological innovation had a profound impact on the rural society in the collectivization period.And then the rural society has also changed with the development of technology.‘Agricultural mechanization' was carried out not only as a signal or a means,but also to create a new economic and social system.So since there was ‘new',naturally there was the ‘old'.From the view of social and economic conditions of Jiajiazhuang village before the founding of the new China,it was sort of ‘richly endowed by nature'.From the view of social economy condition,Jiajiazhuang village was sort of ‘bewail the times and pity the people' and from the view of actual development of agricultural technology,Jiajiazhuang village was ‘ancient and modern of one track'.After the liberation in July 1948,Jiajiazhuang village began the breaking the ‘old' and legislating the ‘new' process.Under the national policy guidance and drive,the Jiajiazhuang villagers began the gradual progressive development from the group,mutual aid group,the junior society,the senior society,and the people's commune after land reform completion.However,in this process the saline land,agricultural sustainable development dilemma and the lack of labor difficulties occurred due to their own conditions.Facing dilemmas and new technology input,they have generated hesitation and wandering.So the process of solving the dilemma and the practice of technological change was full of controversy.When a new technology or new tools emerged,no one can predict its influence.But this effect was unavoidable,Jiajiazhuang had produced a multifaceted changes and effects in aspects of agricultural production,diversification,rural social life after agricultural mechanization development and new agricultural machinery accessing into the rural society.In conclusion,productivity plays a decisive role in the development of the countryside.So the final focus returns to the core text of system,technology and rural social changes.And through this core thinking and discussion,we get an entry point for knowing and understanding of farmers,country and farming provided.
