Farm house

The farm hall is a newly built exhibition hall from 2014 to early 2015, which is divided into four halls and one room. It displays the tools of traditional agricultural production, processing, storage and measurement, as well as the corresponding clothing, food, housing, transportation and other objects, so that those of us who benefit from the agricultural civilization will have a deep memory of the diligence, wisdom, simplicity and kindness of our ancestors. The aim is not to forget farming, and to create the brilliance of modern civilization.

It is natural to have soil but not soil.

1. Farm tools Hall

Plough, as the main farming tool of cultivated land, is obviously branded with the mark of the times: during the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, cattle plough was gradually popularized. The innovation of Quyuan plow in Tang Dynasty is a great invention of the ancient working people in China, marking the maturity and advancement of farming tools in China. In the Song Dynasty, a paddy field tool system centered on ploughing, harrowing and digging was formed.

This system is confirmed by our department, which also includes farming tools, hoes and hoes in dryland.

2. Textile tools Hall

Homespun cloth, also known as homespun cloth and homespun woven cloth, is a kind of pure cotton handmade textile used for generations. The hand spinning wheel and hand loom on display in this hall are tools for weaving coarse earth cloth.

Men's farming and women's weaving, natural division of labor and self-sufficiency are the common labor paradigm of small-scale peasant economy in agricultural society. "Plenty of food and clothing" means a well-off family.

3. Non farm equipment Hall

The non farming utensils displayed in this hall refer to the utensils used for cleaning, processing, measuring and storing grain crops during autumn harvest and winter storage.

In grain cleaning equipment, fan car is commonly known as "wind bucket". It is not only ahead of the West for nearly a thousand years, but also contains the value of science and technology: the ancestor of modern centrifugal compressor.

Non farming tools, like farming tools, have witnessed the glory of Chinese farming civilization.

4. Fishing and hunting tool Hall

Yidu has a long history of fishing and hunting. The Yangtze River, Qingjiang River and Yuyang river flow through Yidu, with crisscross streams, rolling hills and dense forests. According to relevant records, more than 7000 years ago, there were ancestors fishing and hunting on this land.

Traditional fishing, shrimp catching and hunting is a natural supplement to traditional farming in Yidu.

More than 160 pieces of fishing and hunting tools and related cultural relics are collected in this hall, which directly shows the fishing and hunting life that no longer exists in the modern agricultural environment.
