Origin of Iron Smelting Technology in the State of Qin and the Design and Application of Cast-iron Farm Implements
From Qin Xiaogong's relocation the capital at Xianyang to the founding of a unified centralized state,craftsmen of the State of Qin completed the"carburization"and"decarburization"in iron casting with the heat treatment technology of different techniques,and achieved the technological innovation from"block casting iron"to"pig-iron".People began to adapt flexible farming ways due to advantages of the composition and morpho-logical characteristics of farm implements.The structure and shape of farm implements were more in line with the needs of farming activities,these farm implements were better suitable for the labor intensity of the core area of dry farming in the hinterland of Guanzhong,and cast-iron farm implements were widely used in intensive and meticu-lous farming activities.
