摘　　要：本文依据中西方学者对农业起源研究的成果,对中国稻作起源的动因进行了探讨。认为中国的稻作起源于长江中游偏南的武夷山及南岭一线以北的生态脆弱带,始于距今12000年前的旧石器时代向新石器时代过渡期,生态环境的变迁是稻作起源的主要诱因,解决人口增长的压力是稻作起源的直接动因,而人类的生产力及技术水平的进步则是稻作起源的动能。这三者相互作用的结果催生了稻作农业的产生。This article discusses causes of the origin office domestication in China through reviewing researches on agricultural origin by the scholars both inside and outside China. It argued that rice domestication emerged first in the northland of Wuyi mountain and Nanning mountain where ecological resources were poor. The process began in the transition period from Paleolithic to Neolithic around 12,000 BP. This study suggests that the changes of ecological environment are the main reason pushing the emergences of rice domestication, while population pressures within poor resources regions was probably the direct cause. Progress of productivity and technological advancement were driving forces to the establishment of early agriculture. Therefore, the interaction and interrelations among the these three factors led to the origin of rice domestication.
