A theory of Kondo lattices is developed for the t-J model on a square lattice. The spin susceptibility is described in a form consistent with a physical picture of Kondo lattices: Local spin fluctuations at different sites interact with each other by a bare intersite exchange interaction, which is mainly composed of two terms such as the superexchange interaction, which arises from the virtual exchange of spin-channel pair excitations of electrons across the Mott-Hubbard gap, and an exchange interaction arising from that of Gutzwiller's quasi-particles. The bare exchange interaction is enhanced by intersite spin fluctuations developed because of itself. The enhanced exchange interaction is responsible for the development of superconducting fluctuations as well as the Cooper pairing between Gutzwiller's quasi-particles. On the basis of the microscopic theory, we develop a phenomenological theory of low-temperature superconductivity and pseudo-gaps in the under-doped region as well as high-temperature superconductivity in the optimal-doped region. Anisotropic pseudo-gaps open mainly because of d\gamma-wave superconducting low-energy fluctuations: Quasi-particle spectra around (\pm\pi/a,0) and (0,\pm\pi/a), with a the lattice constant, or X points at the chemical potential are swept away by strong inelastic scatterings, and quasi-particles are well defined only around (\pm\pi/2a,\pm\pi/2a) on the Fermi surface or line. As temperatures decrease in the vicinity of superconducting critical temperatures, pseudo-gaps become smaller and the well-defined region is extending toward X points. The condensation of d\gamma-wave Cooper pairs eventually occurs at low enough temperatures when the pair breaking by inelastic scatterings becomes small enough.
