A set of "Farm Farming Albums" records the "whole process" of soaking seeds, plowing the land, transplanting rice seedlings, fertilizing, harvesting, and warehousing in ancient China. The whole process of farming in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter
In the first picture, (is the earliest primitive method of soaking seeds in snow water by the ancients. This technology dates back to the "Book of Sisheng" in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. There is a record in "The seeds need to be sun-dried before soaking, and after soaking, they need to be placed in a warm and humid environment to germinate". The man in yellow wants to pack the rice seeds in a bamboo container and put them in a flowing pool or ditch. The seeds absorb enough water. "This process is seed soaking. The soaking time is about three days and nights. When the seeds germinate, (the principle is that after the seeds absorb water, the activity of seed enzymes begins to increase. Under the action of the enzyme activity, the endosperm starch gradually dissolves into sugar, releasing the donor embryo. The nutrients needed by roots, germs and hypocotyl can also kill insect eggs and viruses under hypoxic conditions).
" The ancients paid attention to fertilization in the Han Dynasty. Tube fertilization was called "siltation" During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, began to strengthen rational fertilization. Fertilization was just like using medicine.
Fertilization during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was very precise. In the Qing Dynasty, Yang Wei wrote in "Zhiben" The "Outline" puts forward three principles of fertilization - appropriate time, appropriate soil and appropriate materials. "
Ancient irrigation tools : Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the commonly used irrigation tools in the south include the turner, barrel cart , water turner, ox turner, and barrel. Wheel, high-rotating drum car, water-rotating high-cartridge, bucket , dial car, orange (boom), etc.
The painting shows two types of irrigation tools. One type began in the Han Dynasty and was perfected by the mechanical inventor Ma Jun during the Three Kingdoms period. The tool for many people to step on was the keel rollover. Another tool for watering fields that uses the lever principle is called Jumei, commonly known as the "suspended rod" [a wooden pole is hung horizontally on a shelf (wooden post or tree trunk) by the water, with a boulder and other heavy objects suspended from one end, and a heavy object such as a boulder from the other end. The rope hangs the bucket so that both ends move up and down in a balanced manner to draw water. The title of the book "Jujue" "Jiegao" was first seen in "Mozi").
" Zhuangzi " once recorded the story of Confucius 's disciple Zigong promoting this tool.
