Field Methods and a Family Line
Siping’s stories reach into Lishu’s fields and Yitong’s local museum. In Lishu, leaving straw on the soil describes a family of residue-cover and reduced-tillage methods shaped by fields, rows and equipment. At Yitong Manchu Museum, an account describes a seven-metre cord from a Na-surname family and a separate 1895 bilingual genealogy.
