Features: I can't remember how many times I and my friends have recalled the childhood of our generation, remembered the various interesting things, amusing objects, and the joyous sense of life from the past. With a sigh of regret for the experiences that no longer exist in the passage of time, there is a painful sense of being disconnected from the past. In recent years, books with titles starting with "old" or "antique" have suddenly become popular, forming a very thought-provoking cultural phenomenon at the end of the 20th century. But unfortunately, most of these books merely mechanically record the solid, inorganic forms of old objects, neglecting the vibrant, infinitely rich human life and spirit behind these items. They overlook the harmonious and peaceful sense of life and attitude that people of the past had in their interactions with nature, and fail to recognize what aspects of life, emotions, and activities worth cherishing have been stripped away from us in the course of time. Based on these thoughts, I have always hoped for a series of books that could elevate the foundation of previous publications, also serving as a vessel for our generation's nostalgia for the beautiful things of the agricultural era, and from which we could draw the belief and strength to live.
