In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a short-axis ox-pulling plough appeared, which was flexible in operation and convenient for farming on small plots of farmland. The emergence of this short-axis one-ox plough is combined with the increase of share. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, all-iron plowheads were widely used. Compared with the previous V-plow, the blade angle is gradually reduced, which not only saves labor in digging, but also can be used for deep ploughing. In addition, new all-iron farm tools are gradually increasing. The crank hoe seen in the stone carving portrait of the cliff tomb in Leshan, Sichuan Province is a kind of intertillage tool which is convenient to eradicate weeds. The iron crochet needle found in Mianyang, Sichuan, with a total length of 35 cm, is a small farm tool specially used for harvesting, and it is very convenient to operate.
The data comes from the economic-agricultural-production tools in the entry of Baidu in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
