Abstract

All walks of life actively promoted emerging technologies when modern agricultural science and technology from the West were introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty. Despite agricultural machinery being highly popular during the more than 100 years since, traditional farm tools have not been completely replaced and have instead gradually become symbols representing traditional farming culture. From the perspective of ecology and health, this paper discusses the values, scientific notions and corresponding styles of production and life associated with traditional agricultural tools as well as the multicultural values regarding traditional agricultural culture in modern society in China.
