Yangcheng Plowshare

Yangcheng Plowshare

　　Yangcheng plowshares have two outstanding features: first, they are smooth and wear-resistant, turning the soil without sticking to mud, which saves both animal power and labor; second, they come in a wide variety of types, including peach leaf, apricot leaf, rabbit ear, eagle beak, donkey face, chicken coop, gauze hat, watermelon rind, and more—around 180 different varieties—meeting the diverse specifications and types required across different regions. The traditional iron casting technique of Yangcheng has been listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
