Original title: 700 years of coupled ploughing on terraces

On April 20, two Zhuang compatriots were ploughing in the terraced fields of Ping'an Village in Longji Town.

In the major villages of Longji Town, Longsheng Autonomous County, Guilin City, Guangxi, because machinery or cattle are inconvenient to cultivate irregular terraces, the method of "women pulling in front and men pushing back" has been used to plow and rake fields. This method has been going on for nearly 700 years and is called "coupled ploughing". The couple's partner, but the neighborhood or husband and wife, is a special scenery in the terrace.
