摘要

There is a close relationship between Taoism and traditional agriculture in China. This relationship is also manifested in the relationship between Taoist rites and agriculture: the Taoist rites have obvious awareness of stressing the agriculture; holding of Taoist rites,gods worshiped in rites,offerings used,and grain consumed are connected with the agriculture; many actions in rites have nature of imitating the agriculture. The concept of ' quietness' and ' cleanness' in rites can cultivate the awareness of farmers for respecting the agriculture.
