摘要
明代中后期处于小冰期的笼罩下,逐渐转冷的气候给农业生产造成很大威胁,建阳书坊的书商迅速将农业占候纳入他们编纂的日用类书中,企图迎合民间社会对天气预测的迫切需求。日用类书中农业占候的主要内容是根据某些日期的天干地支、五行以及天时等信息来推测未来的天气趋势与农业丰歉,它在继承先前文献的基础上又有诸多改进和创新。从事农业生产的农民与贩售粮食的商贾一起构成了日用类书中农业占候篇章的主要阅读群体。农业占候也可被视作明代中后期"天人之际"的一则案例,从中可以窥见气候变化及其导致的农业灾害对民众心态的影响。
Due to the climatic impact ascribed to Little Ice Age,booksellers incorporated the agricultural divination into everyday reference books in the hope that they could pander to farmers’ desperate need for weather forecast. The content of divination was mainly used to predict the weather trend and good or poor harvest.Readers of these books consisted of farmers and grain merchants. besides,the agricultural divination shed light on how climate-change-related disasters on agriculture impacted the mind of the people.
