Zhanlu's collection calendar, a civilized treasure every day, customize your exclusive museum.

This illustration comes from the "Call of Him" published in 1525. The author is Bishop Oasale, Francois Deville, which is a gorgeous medieval cowhide paper manuscript.

The picture depicts the scene of farmers harvesting wheat.Two of them were holding the sickle to harvest wheat, and one was tied to wheat harvested.This harvesting method can be traced back to the Middle Ages at first, and after being harvested by wheat harvested, it will be piled up upright.Today, although most of the wheat harvest has been mechanized, in some rugged terrain, the manual harvesting method still exists. In the intimate contact between people and the land, it can better feel the greatness and harvest of nature and harvest.The joy.
