基　　金：The paper was the research result of the“Study on the Theory and Methodology of the Rural Social Transformation by the Yanching School”(18BSH001);a general project under the National Social Science Foundation of China.Thoughts on the paper were initially formed in the“Shiheng Excellent Lecture”sponsored by Yunnan Shiheng Education Foundation in the summer of 2016.

摘　　要：Fei Xiaotong’s(Fei Hsiao-tung)works on rural economies and societies written in the 1940s were deeply affected by British economic historian R.H.Tawney.Through comparison,this article reveals at least two connections between their works.First,Tawney’s analysis of the transition from agricultural modernization to industrial modernization in Britain serves as a reference for Fei’s works on the economic transformation of the Yangtze Valley in Jiangsu and Lucun village in Yunnan.Second,Tawney’s“theory of gentry”also serves as the underlying view for Fei’s theory on the functions of the Chinese gentry.However,Fei does not simply follow Tawney’s steps.Instead,he offers unique insights into the issues of horticulture transformation and gentry types in China.Furthermore,in Fei’s social theory and practice,the role of“state”was considered to be less positive.The interrelations of the community,market,intellectuals and the state construct Fei’s modernization scheme of China.His idea about how China,a slower participant in the world system,can maintain economic autonomy was still valuable today.
