英文摘要：

This paper discusses the economic development theory proposed by Gu Chunfan before the formation of the western development economics. Firstly, Gu Chunfan covered almost the full range of the basic problems in the development economics. Secondly, he initially built the development theoretical system with the core of ＇ mutual containment between the agriculture improvement and industrialization＇. Thirdly, many of his proposals have been proved right and become part of ＇ China＇s development path＇, such as focusing on industrialization, synchronically promoting agricultural modernization and industrialization, as well as the implementation of Opening-up policy. Gu Chunfan＇s theory is China＇s story to describe Chinese situation in its own language considering the real context and still with explanatory power. His theoretical contribution indicates that developing countries＇ economists can create the economic development theory tailored to their own conditions.
