The Research On Shaanxi Agricultural Research Institutions During The Anti-Japanese War

In the early years of the Republic of China,the Central Government considered the Northwest issue from the perspective of border defense and national unity,and paid little attention to economic and social development in the northwest and Shaanxi.In the context of the war of resistance against Japan,the Northeast has been lost and China's major conflicts have changed.The Chinese have turned their attention to the vast northwestern region.Whether civil or official,they have issued comments on the development of the Northwest and put forward corresponding suggestions,together with the help of public opinion.In a moment,the sound of "Northwest Development" resounded in China.National government officials and various research missions came to the northwest to investigate the northwest region.The Nationalist Government has also adopted a large number of proposals for the development of the Northwest,transforming the development of the national strategy in the northwest into practical and practical policies.As the gateway and economic and cultural center of the northwest region,Shaanxi is identified by the national government as an important base for the establishment of a nation during the War of Resistance against Japan and attaches great importance to it.This provides a rare historic opportunity for Shaanxi's economic and social development.At this time,Shaanxi has just experienced a three-year drought and has been waiting for prosperity.Revitalizing agriculture has become the focus of Shaanxi's economic and social construction.Agricultural science and technology plays a key role in the transformation from traditional agricultural production to modern agricultural production.The development of Shaanxi agriculture requires a scientific and technological approach.The agricultural scientific research institutions are the main body of the introduction,absorption and dissemination of agricultural science and technology,so the construction of agricultural scientific research institutes has received attention from all sides.The Shaanxi Agricultural Research Institute was established in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China,and it was developed during the Nanjing National Government.During the War of Resistance against Japan,Shaanxi's agricultural research institutions reached a peak in modern times both in scale and level.Judging from the properties of the organization,there are: branches set up by the central government's central agricultural unit in Shaanxi,various types of agricultural institutions established by the Shaanxi Provincial Government,affiliated farms in colleges and universities,and agricultural test sites set up by social celebrities.The scientific research institutes in the enemy-occupied areas and the colleges and universities moved into Shaanxi Province brought a group of agricultural science and technology talents,which further improved the scientific research strength of the Shaanxi agricultural research institutions.During the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan,through the unremitting efforts of scientific research institutions,especially scientific researchers,Shaanxi's agricultural science and technology content and agricultural output have reached the highest level since modern times.At that time,agricultural scientific research institutes aimed at increasing crop yields,conducted trials around the improvement of cotton and wheat,and achieved fruitful scientific research results through improved seed cultivation,improved farming methods,and pest and disease prevention and control projects,and promoted traditional Shaanxi agriculture to modern times.The transformation of agriculture.Through the system of agricultural extension in Shaanxi Province,the results of the experiment were extended to the fields in a scientific and rational way,which increased the output of crops,increased the income of farmers,and indirectly supported the war of resistance,which made a contribution to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.At the same time,it has cultivated a group of talented people for the further development of Shaanxi's agriculture,created the necessary scientific research conditions,and laid a preliminary foundation for the rapid development of Shaanxi's agricultural science and technology after the founding of New China.
