How many other farm tools do you know?

In the traditional rural production and life, people usually use local materials to make some simple and practical tools to meet the needs of life and production. This is a handicraft handed down from generation to generation. Although it has no great artistic value, it is still very practical in early rural areas. Especially now, after mechanization enters the countryside, these tools will be gradually replaced, this handicraft will be gradually lost, and they will gradually withdraw from this historical stage.

Then, let me give you an inventory of the rural tools that our generation has seen. Unfortunately, we can't inherit it, and we won't need it in the future. Not many can be preserved so far.

1, laundry list

Hollow round bamboo products are mainly used to collect grains from the ground and take them home or hold grains that need to be dried. Laundry baskets are used in most parts of China, especially in the southwest. Different shapes and sizes. Some can be used on the back, some can be used on the back of the hand, and some can also jump with a pole. This is an indispensable tool in rural life. When we carry things, we remember that when we were young, we used to sit in it and let our parents carry them to the mountains. Today, some areas are still preserved, but fewer and fewer people use them.

2. Bamboo basket

As the name implies, a bamboo basket is a basket made of bamboo, called a bamboo basket or a bamboo basket. It is the general name of multi-purpose basket.

Bamboo baskets are widely used, and can be used for loading vegetables, washing clothes and loading things. In costume TV, do we often see people using this bamboo basket to deliver meals to others? This is quite common and has been handed down for a long time. Nowadays, bamboo baskets are more widely used. Besides traditional uses, they can also be used as the outer packaging of various products. However, the manufacturing process is different from manual, replacing the traditional carton packaging, which is environmentally friendly and fashionable. After use, the product can also be used as home decoration products and storage boxes, which can be said to be a revolution in packaging. Now more and more merchants choose bamboo baskets as the outer packaging of products to attract consumers' attention, and the effect is obvious.

3, dustpan

There are two kinds of things called dustpans. One is a shovel-like appliance, which is used to carry miscellaneous grains such as rice. The second type is a big pinch made of rattan or peeled wicker and bamboo, which is an instrument for lifting rice and removing chaff. The woven dustpan is extremely exquisite in materials and fine in workmanship. There are many kinds of dustpans, which are widely used. Its advantages are deep nest, flat palm, no loose grain and no dust. Flat palm is conducive to broadcasting sundries, leaving no residue, so as to change. In the farmhouse, dustpan is a necessity of family life. A dustpan can be thrifty for many generations, at least ten years.

4, hemp fiber, hat

At the earliest time, there were no umbrellas in the countryside. What should we do if it rains? Then this hemp fiber hat is a must. This historical evolution is also relatively long. The hat is a hat for shading from the sun and rain, with a wide edge, and is woven with bamboo strips sandwiched with oil paper or bamboo leaves and brown silk. In rural areas in the south of the Yangtze River, almost every household has a hat. Wear it on your head when you go out, rain or shine. Has become an indispensable necessity in your production and life. Liu Tang Zongyuan's Jiang Xue: "A boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing in the cold Jiang Xue. When I was a child in the countryside, I often saw the old people in the village wearing this set of equipment going up and down the mountain. At that time, I felt very handsome and had a feeling of being the best in the world. I tried it on myself. Hemp fiber is heavy, the grass is a little prickly, and wearing a hat has a condescending style. It's a pity that this thing is rarely worn now ~

5. Rice barrel

Rice barrel is a traditional agricultural tool for threshing. Half a century ago, during the harvest season of early rice and late rice, farmers always took turns to pound rice in rice barrels. When I was a child in the countryside, I once experienced the farm work of beating rice with rice barrels. In my memory, the rice barrel is round, waist high, and the mouth of the barrel is slightly larger than the bottom. Some are equipped with H-shaped thick parallel bamboo stalls at the bottom, which are called "rice bucket drag" or "mud drag" to facilitate dragging in rice fields; If the rice field is dry, there is no need for "Lamy fighting", and it is easier to fight by hand.

Because the rice barrel is bulky, it is not easy to carry. The farmer turned the rice bucket upside down and put a pole, a stick or a bamboo pole into the bucket, so that the rice bucket could be firmly carried on people's shoulders. People are covered in barrels and look like a giant mushroom moving from a distance. Put the rice barrel at the head of the field and put the rice barrel ladder in it.

Step 6 fan the car

The fan car is mainly used to remove chaff from grain particles, and consists of a frame, a shell, a fan, a feed hopper and an adjusting door. When working, put the grain into the feed hopper, turn the fan, the wind will blow below the feed hopper, open the regulating door, and the grain will slowly fall under the action of gravity, and the low-density chaff and light sundries will be blown out of the machine by the wind, while the high-density and full grain will directly flow out from the lower discharge port. In this way, the chaff is separated from the grain

When I was a child, I liked to shake the fan, and I was very excited when I watched the chaff being blown out of the air outlet. That kind of happiness is beyond the understanding of children like this now.

7. Wooden plough

Use cattle to pull over the soil, use iron for the share and wall, and use wood for the rest. After the 1980s, mechanized farming was mainly used in plains, but it was still used in mountainous areas. Used for farming in farmland or dry land. The map of farm tools in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago recorded a plow. At that time, the wooden plows made by farmers in China had reached a perfect high level. Plough share is composed of plow tip, plow mirror, plow bed, plow frame and plow column. , and equipped with a horizontal 8-shaped plow shaft. Both the penetration angle and the selection of the traction point of the soil turning curve are completely in line with the mechanical principle. At present, hundreds of kinds of mechanical plows have been made in the world, but their main structure and basic design can't jump out of the basic principle of western Han dynasty wooden plows.

8. Bamboo rake

The rake made of bamboo, the front rake teeth are bent with fire and fixed after cooling. In the past, every household in rural areas planted rice. Everyone would choose a good weather and spread the rice flat on the broad ground of the village with bamboo harrows to let the rice dry fully. The scene is huge, rice is spread on the ground, and it is everywhere in Huang Cancan, which is very spectacular.

In the long river of history, these traditional agricultural tools have accompanied mankind for thousands of years. However, with the rapid development of society, new tools have gradually replaced traditional tools. These tools that have been circulating for thousands of years will gradually fade out of our sight. This is the progress of human civilization and the demise of traditional culture. There are not many places where these things can be used now. Some ethnic tribes are still circulating, but most people have forgotten their names. And the new generation is more curious about these things.
