Talk about the ancient irrigation tool --- water wheel.

Water wheels, which were still in use in the 1960s and 1970s, or even after the implementation of the contracting system, were gradually phased out, and by the 1990s, water pumps had completely replaced water wheels, and electricity had replaced manpower.

Water wheel, there is a hand-cranked water wheel, the length is 4 meters, and the water lifting height is below 1 meter. Pedal water wheel, there are two people, three people, four people pedaling, there are six people, seven people stepping, the length is different, 5 meters, 6 meters long, or longer, the height of the water is 2 meters.

The production of water wheels is not easy, and it requires skilled carpenters to make them. The selection of materials is not easy, the barrel is fir wood, the bone is hard wood, the bone board is camphor wood, and the saddle is miscellaneous wood. At that time, if there was a water wheel stepped on by three or four people in the family, it could reach half a buffalo, which showed the value of the water wheel.

A few poems inscribed on the water wheel, written on the body of the car, are still fresh in my memory. It reads: "Like a dragon but not a dragon, a skillful craftsman makes a dragon." Doubtful rain is real rain, and it rains like this. ”
