The installation and Use of Iron Plough in the Han Dynasty and Relevant issues

Iron plough had been developed in a way to further facilitate assembling and digging since its first appearance. Its shape and installation is also closely related to the form of farmlands. According to the replicated experiment of Han Iron plough by Zhang Chuanxi,we suggest that there is only one way to install plough,which is,to fix the surface with middle ridge facing upward. The result of experiment also matches the form of ploughland discovered from the Sanyangzhuang site in Neihuang Country,Henan,during 2005,and therefore disproves other methods traditionally hold such as the surface with mid-ridge can face either upward or downward,or the plough can be swang horizontally like a ploughshare.
