Farming tools

　　Archaeological findings show that the Jiangnan region had a large quantity and variety of bronze farm implements, reflecting the prosperity of its agricultural culture at the time. The widespread use of bronze farm implements played an important role in promoting agricultural production in the Wu Kingdom, laying the foundation for its prosperity. The bronze farm implements exhibited here include sickles, spades, hoes, and weeding tools. The agricultural production corresponding to these tools remains the main agricultural practice in rural Jiangnan today. The serrated bronze sickle is almost identical to the serrated sickle still used in rural Jiangnan today, particularly suitable for harvesting rice, demonstrating the long and rich tradition of rice farming in Jiangnan.
