The Genre Paintings of Taiwan’s Aboriginal Peoples:Tilling the Fields
This picture depicts the planting of aquatic rice as it was done on the Peipon villages of Takau, Lohanmeng, and Sincan. The rice seeds, as well as the plough, have both been brought from the mainland. According to aboriginal tradition, women were the workers of the land. Men merely delivered food for the women to eat. By the mid-eighteenth century, men too began to work in the fields.
