Abstract

As a traditional agricultural society in ancient China, farm tools and instruments have been an indispensable part of China's agricultural production since ancient times, and their production development is an important symbol of the development of social productive forces. Chinese traditional farm tools have typical characteristics of The Times and regional characteristics. Excavating and sorting out these historical elements and cultural characteristics and integrating them into modern industrial design can not only promote traditional culture, but also make these traditional elements relate to modern life and reflect The Times value of traditional culture. The simple functional aesthetics embodied in traditional farm tools is the technology and experience accumulated by working people in long-term production practice, and has the characteristics of "practical, simple, flexible and environmental protection". Starting from the development history of farm tools, this paper combs the significance of pragmatism in traditional farm tools, explores the functional beauty of Chinese traditional farm tools and the theoretical and practical value of functional beauty in traditional farm tools. Hope to provide some references for the protection and inheritance of Chinese traditional farm tools.
