The cow is dragging something to plow the field.

The plow consists of hardwood with share and plough mirror at the bottom, hardwood with big bow at the top and hardwood as plough handle. The plough share is a triangular cast iron, which is installed on the hard wood at the lower end of the plow and used to turn the soil.

The plow wall is made of cast iron or steel. Because its surface is smooth as a mirror, it is also called a plow mirror. It is installed above the ploughshare and leans to one side, which plays the role of turning the ploughed soil to one side.

When plowing the land, the tiller puts the yoke of the ox around its neck, and the plow is dragged by the ox. People stand behind the plow, assist the plow tip with their right hand, hold the bamboo whip wire and cow rope with their left hand, grasp the direction of the plow, turn back and forth and the depth of the plow.

Outside "!" Keep ... "Wait, the cow turned a piece of mud with its hoof. Holding two ropes on the yoke, either moving forward, walking left and right, or stopping, if you want to plow the soil deeper, the tiller will lift the plow tip slightly, and if it is shallower, the plow tip will press down, all based on the tiller's understanding of paddy soil and his own experience.

When raking the field, the raker will put the big wooden frame flat on the water surface and cut the nail teeth down into the soil. Their feet stood in front and back on the wide wooden strips, and the weight of people made the nail teeth cut into the soil. Rake field people with a cow rope in one hand and a whip wire in the other, making several noises in a row.

Cattle are running hard in the fields, and people are bumping up and down in the paddy fields with rakes, like ancient generals who took the lead. Going back and forth several times, in the shouts, the newly plowed field soil was cut into mud by the blade. If the soil is broken, you can rake it several times.

Plowing, harrowing and ploughing are the processes of doubling the land and harrowing it to the point where crops can be planted. All three jobs are based on the power of cattle. Through ploughing and harrowing, the paddy field basically meets the conditions of transplanting rice seedlings. This program seems simple to operate. In fact, farmers are not only hard, but also have certain security risks. For example, if you rake a field, you may be scratched by a blade if you accidentally slip your foot into a big wooden frame. Therefore, the rake is often "old-fashioned", and most people dare not get on it easily. These jobs are basically done by experienced and energetic people, and only a few people in a production team are competent.
