About “The Classic of the Plough”
The Classic of the Plough is a classical Chinese text written by Lu Kuei-Meng around 880 AD. It details a curved iron plough that was introduced during the Tang dynasty. The text provides a detailed description of each part of the plough, along with specific dimensions. This information was sufficient to allow for the construction of a replica plough. The work was referenced in agricultural encyclopedias for many centuries after its creation. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
