Ancient China trained animals and made equipment to attach on animals so that farming would be more efficient.  EX: Donkey moving storage. ]]> 2017-02-14 16:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/153778686 caleb_choy https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/153783313 The Spring and Autumn occurred around  771 to 476 BC.  It was a time period where mainly stone and wooden tools were being used. ]]> 2017-02-14 16:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/153783313 caleb_choy https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/153788497 After the Spring and Autumn ended, smelters were created to melt iron into stronger and longer lasting tools.

In contrast to that, Water Wheels allowed the grinding of grains to become automatic using the power of water. With these major progressions, Ancient China was known for innovation that changed its history.]]> 2017-02-15 03:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/153914852 caleb_choy https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/154000016 By studying China's farm equipment, we can learn that China quickly innovated their technology to fit their needs. ]]> 2017-02-15 14:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/154000016 caleb_choy https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/154000548 Even though plows and waterwheels were created a thousands of years ago, plows are still in use. Currently, plows are being used electronically. Although the original technology is not exactly the same, many creations in the 20th century would not have been created without it.]]> 2017-02-15 14:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/154000548 caleb_choy https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/154001606 Farming equipment relates to cultural equipment because it allowed more food to be produced. The effect of this allowed new types of trade because these tools allowed more food that could be traded. The effect of more food allowed a larger population which easily changed culture. By having enough food, the economy of China rose which allowed more and more types of trade.]]> 2017-02-15 14:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/caleb_choy/3wo95an77jc2/wish/154001606
