Foreigners collect stones and roll in their hometown. What do they do with this?

In the past, farmers used to borrow livestock for farming. Among them, many farm tools are made according to the characteristics of livestock farming, including the "stone rolling" farm tools. Some of these traditional farm tools are still in use in some mountainous rural areas, but in most rural areas, such as "Stone Roll", these farm tools have been thrown into the mechanized farming just visiting by farmers, or piled up in the wild or barren fields of villages.

in the past years, stone rolling played a very important role. Farmers in some places call it "wheel wheel", and some call it "roller". It is a cylinder carved from a whole stone. Generally, after wheat or millet is harvested, farmers put on livestock to grind wheat and or millet and other crops. This is an indispensable tool. However, with the advent of the modern mechanized harvesting era and the popularization of large-scale combine harvesters, this kind of "stone roll" naturally withdrew from the agricultural production era.

However, with the rise of farmhouse music, the upsurge of rural tourism, and the construction of rural museums, the agricultural tools in the original era of human and animal farming have become more and more popular. Agricultural tools, such as the old stone roll, began to be popular in the countryside and revived. In rural areas, from time to time, many people with foreign accents come to the village, and they specialize in purchasing agricultural tools including stone rollers, wagons, rice bowls, cow troughs, and cattle pegs. Then what are they doing with these things?

first, put it in a conspicuous position in rural tourist attractions to attract customers. In recent years, rural tourism has risen, and people from the city have come to the countryside to travel, eat farmhouse meals, live in farmhouse houses and visit farmhouse scenery ... Many rural scenic spots use these past farm tools such as stone rolling to organically combine natural scenery with rural farming civilization, and create and restore the past farming production scenes. Naturally, put these things in a conspicuous position in the scenic spot, create an original ecological rural scenic spot, or decorate the style of leisure homestay. Many tourists feel touched by the scene when they see these things. Therefore, in order to attract customers, rural tourist attractions advertise the purchase of old things, and vendors go to various rural areas to earn the difference and help the scenic spots decorate the scenic spots.

second, farmhouse music creates cultural characteristics of farming civilization. Nowadays, the farmhouse business in rural areas is very popular. People from the city come to the countryside to taste the farmhouse-style food and appreciate the unique farming production civilization, and these agricultural tools such as stone rollers are the best display items. Therefore, in order to attract more customers, the owner of the farmhouse created a simple and natural farming production culture in the special area of the farmhouse, and the agricultural tools such as stone rolling and stone grinding, which reflected that era, had good application value.

thirdly, it is necessary to build a museum of agricultural production in rural areas. Now, many rich rural areas are creating local characteristics and building agricultural museums. All farm tools produced in the past are "collections", so many farmers go to various places to buy and look for these old objects as collections for everyone to watch.

of course, besides what we have mentioned above, there are other uses, such as being collected by some people and being used by others to carve other objects. In fact, it is already very difficult to find these old objects in rural areas. Unexpectedly, the objects that were closely related to our farmers' lives at the beginning were the necessary agricultural tools in agricultural production in the era when there was no mechanization, but now they are useless to be destroyed by farmers, thrown away and placed at random. But these farm tools, which bear the needs of all our fathers, are the accumulation of their wisdom in farming production and the unforgettable historical memory of our farmers' friends.
