Abstract:

In Yuan Dynasty, the central government promoted the development of agriculture
and agronomy by setting up the Administration of National Treasury, sending agriculture
encouragement officials to local governments to supervise local farming, issuing laws and
regulations to urge and encourage agricultural development, reducing or remitting land rent and
local taxes, building water conservancy projects, rewarding reclamation and other measures.
In order to popularize and extend agricultural production technology, with the encouragement
of the government, the intellectuals of Yuan Dynasty compiled and published a large number of
agricultural books. Based on the analysis of the social background of the rise of the compilation
and publication of the agricultural books in the Yuan Dynasty, this paper lists 61 kinds of
agricultural books compiled and published in Yuan Dynasty, which are divided into 11 categories,
through the exploration and research of the bibliographies and relevant historical materials of
the previous dynasties, and makes a comprehensive summary of the characteristics of the
compilation and publication of the agricultural books in Yuan Dynasty.
