According to the characteristics of agricultural development during different periods, agricultural development was basically divided into traditional period, planning system period and household contracting period to discuss the related laws of agricultural development in China. The agricultural function expansion during different periods was analyzed in terms of agricultural structure evolution, while structural optimization and function expansion of modern agriculture in China were also studied. The results indicated that during the traditional period, agricultural structure emphasized feeding people and grain production while agricultural function reflected the economic function beyond surviving standard. During the planning system period, a unitary structural mode of agriculture was formed in China, which showed that agriculture was dominated by planting industry and planting industry was dominated by grain, while agriculture executed the mixed economic function beyond surviving and living standard. During the household contracting period, the industrial structure of agriculture in China gradually became diversification and optimization, but as the economic function of industrial standard, agricultural development was still greatly inhibited. The structural evolution of modern agriculture in China must step forward towards collectivization and scale merit, while ecological function and social function of agriculture increasingly become important and the function of agricultural production becomes more and more diverse.
