The Agricultural Home of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties

In the Lingnan region during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, farming families lived in walled houses with sturdy structures and family settlements, which enhanced their ability to resist external enemies. At this time, agricultural civilization reached a new height, using pulleys to irrigate farmland, reducing labor intensity, improving production efficiency, and promoting agricultural development. During this period, advanced agricultural tools were introduced to Lingnan with frequent exchanges between the Central Plains and Lingnan, greatly promoting the development of local agriculture. People are self-sufficient and live a prosperous life, which not only reflects the prosperity of agricultural civilization, but also marks significant progress in human production technology and living conditions.
