What do farmers have (with pictures)

Farmers have wooden plows, iron rakes, hoes, sickles, hoes, stone shovels, stone knives, stone mills and so on.

Wooden plows are pulled by cows and used to turn the soil. The share and wall of the plow are made of iron, and the rest are made of wood. After the 1980s, mechanized farming was mainly used in plains, but it was still used in mountainous areas.

Rakes are used to break the soil after ploughing. It is rectangular with iron teeth on the wooden frame. The rake frame is equipped with 10 iron sheets, and the blades roll to chop up the soil.

Sickle, commonly known as cutting knife, is crescent-shaped, with oblique serrations on the blade and a wooden handle at the end, which is used to harvest rice and wheat. In 1950s, influenced by sickle in northern Jiangsu and Shandong, the blade and handle were slightly lengthened, which is a common tool for harvesting today.

Hoes are used to loosen soil and cut grass. It can be divided into grass-splitting hoe, wide-board hoe and mountain-breaking hoe.

Polo is also called polonium plow. According to Cui Mang's political theory in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the plow was invented by Zhao Guo, commander of the Western Han Dynasty who was searching for millet. Its usage and effect are as follows: "Three plows * * * one cow, one race, the next race." This kind of plow is the three-legged plow still in use in the northern countryside. Rickshaws are one foot, two feet, three feet or even four feet, with two feet and three feet being more common. According to Wang Zhen's "Nongshu Leikui Gate", the specific structure of the two-legged cymbals is: "The two handles are bent upward, three feet high, the two feet are hollow, and the ridge is four turns wide. There is a bucket in the middle, and all the seeds are connected. There are also two shafts on the side, which can accommodate a cow. One person leads it, one person holds the cymbals, and the seeds are planted by themselves. "
