What was the name of the man who drew water in ancient China?

Pulley is also a pumping tool evolved from lever. According to the Origin of Things, "history is the first pulley". Shi Yi was a historian in the early Zhou Dynasty. As early as 1 100 BC, China had invented the pulley. By the Spring and Autumn Period, hoists had become popular. The manufacture and application of windlass are closely combined with the development of ancient agriculture and widely used in agricultural irrigation. Pulleys have been used in China for a long time. Although it has been improved, it basically maintains its original shape, which shows that our ancestors designed pulleys with reasonable structure 3000 years ago.
