The Inheritance and Development of Agricultural Culture in the Yellow River Basin: A Case Study of the Hetao Region

Abstract

The agricultural culture of the Yellow River Basin is an essential component of Chinese civilization. The Hetao region, as a representative area of the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, possesses unique agricultural traditions and cultural characteristics. However, influenced by modernization, globalization, and ecological changes, traditional agricultural culture faces challenges in inheritance and development. This paper analyzes the natural environment, historical development, and uniqueness of agricultural culture in the Hetao region, exploring the dilemmas and development paths of agricultural culture in modern society. It suggests that integrating agricultural culture with modern agricultural technology, cultural tourism, education, and digital technologies can effectively promote its inheritance and innovative development, providing practical recommendations for the sustainable development of agricultural culture in the Yellow River Basin.
