Extended data:

More than 2,000 years ago, plows were recorded in the map of farm tools in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the wooden plows made by farmers in China had reached a perfect high level. The share is composed of plow tip, plow mirror, plow bed, plow frame, plow column, etc., and is equipped with a horizontal 8-shaped plow shaft, which completely conforms to the mechanical principle in the selection of penetration angle and traction point of soil turning curve. Their main structure and basic design can't jump out of the basic principle of the Western Han Dynasty wooden plough. Generally speaking, wooden plows can be divided into two types: dry plows and water plows. The dry plow, commonly known as the "arrow plow", is thick and strong, with an arrow-shaped part, hence the name. Water plow is simple and light in structure, commonly known as "single plow".

Rakes are used to break the soil after ploughing. It is rectangular with iron teeth on the wooden frame. More than 65,438+00 iron blades are installed on the rake frame, and the blades roll to chop up the soil.
