ecologically prudent behavior of Chinese agriculture was successful in that it had maintained a steady and sustainable space for Chinese to have a peaceful and harmonious life for thousand of years, and it contributed greatly to the long-lasting agricultural civilization in China. However, it was also a failure if one notices the fact that it had made Chinese farmers live in an autarky and not go beyond that. However, in realization of ecodevelopment in rural China, the ecologically prudent mechanism of traditional Chinese agriculture, whirrs has evolved during a long period of ecological experience and has adaptive value, should be taken into serious consideration. At the time when we are designing an "ecological city" (Wang 1988) with the ideal of "high efficiency and harmonious relationship", the traditional "ecological rural China" is undergoing relentless destruction, and we should never forget that in such a great agricultural country, the restoration of a healthy rural agricultural environment, if destroyed, will be much more difficult than that of an urban environment.
