The ancient agricultural tools used for sowing were pulled by livestock and supported by people behind them, which could simultaneously complete the tasks of trenching and planting. Plant one ridge at a time or multiple ridges, with traditional ones up to a maximum of 5 ridges. Its agricultural tool is the predecessor of the current seeder, which uses a plow to sow seeds. Also known as "land". The plow can not only complete tasks such as trenching, planting, and covering soil in one go, greatly improving the efficiency of sowing, but also ensuring consistent row spacing, depth, and density, facilitating ventilation, light transmission, and field management after emergence, thereby improving the quality of sowing.

Kuai is a traditional Han folk noodle snack, and one of the most common ways of eating noodles in northern China. The traditional method is to use a wooden "bed" and place it on the pot table. Then, put the well made noodles (often buckwheat noodles) into the hollow cavity of the bed with eyes. A person sits on the wooden handle of the bed and presses it hard, directly pressing the noodles into the boiling pot. When the water boils, stir with chopsticks and add cold water, roll twice, and then take it out. Pour the "saozi" made beforehand with tofu, meat, red and white radish, etc. on top. You can eat now.

Our country's weighing system has a long history. Its origin and standards are recorded differently. According to historical records, Huangdi established five measurements: Du, Liang, Heng, Li, and Mu; Shun summoned the leaders of the four directions to coordinate the year, month, season, hour, rhythm, and measurement of each tribe; Xia Yu used rules and standards as measuring tools for flood control, and used his own body length and weight as standards for length and weight. These legends to some extent reflect the embryonic state of ancient measurement. The inscriptions on bronze vessels from the Western Zhou Dynasty, which contain characters such as "Golden Ten Glances", "Silk Three Glances", and "Golden Ten Uniforms", are the true evidence of a token. Gold is copper, and "寽" and "」" are unit names for measurement. Before or at the same time as the emergence of metallic currency, there were already means of measuring weight.

China is one of the earliest countries in the world to use currency. China's monetary culture has a history of over four thousand years and holds an important position in the history of world currency.
