The Classic of the Plough is a classical Chinese text written by Lu Kuei-Meng in c. 880 AD. He describes the curved iron plough that had been introduced in the Tang dynasty.[citation needed] His description would be used for ploughs in agricultural encyclopedias for several centuries. He describes each part of the plough and gives its dimensions with enough information for a replica plough to be constructed.[1]
