The plow frame is smaller and lighter, easier to turn around, more flexible to operate and saves animal power. The old plow was changed from two cows to one cow for traction. Moreover, due to its small area, this kind of plow is especially suitable for paddy field farming in the south, so it has been popularized in Jiangdong area.

It can push the turned-up soil aside to reduce the resistance to progress, and it can also turn up the clods and cut off the growth of grass roots. After this kind of plow appeared, it gradually became popular and became the most advanced farming tool at that time. The plow has been basically shaped, which is a major improvement of the working people in the Tang Dynasty.
