Abstract: Traditional agricultural tools are not only the prototypes for modern agricultural machinery but also carriers of our agrarian culture and Chinese civilization. The aesthetic of traditional agricultural tools is a cultural blend of art and reality, society and nature, encapsulating the interconnected relationships between people and objects, objects with other objects, objects with their environment, and objects with society. This article takes the plow, the seedling horse, and the waterwheel, three representative traditional agricultural tools, as examples to delve into the functional, stylistic, manufacturing techniques, and cultural significance in the aesthetic of traditional Chinese agricultural tools. Their functional and structural designs fully embody the concept of humancenteredness, possessing various practical functions. In terms of form, they reflect the philosophical thought of harmony with nature, aligning with the aesthetic values of the East, adding beauty and interest to agricultural labor. Their craftsmanship is both aesthetically pleasing and practical, intricate yet reliable, showcasing the ingenuity of ancient craftsmanship. Consequently, they have become important subjects in ancient rituals, poetry, and artistic works, possessing profound historical and cultural value.Taking the example of supporting rural revitalization, the research explores the contemporary applications of the aesthetic of traditional agricultural tools and their important roles in preserving rural history and culture, stimulating the development of the cultural tourism industry, and promoting economic growth. These traditional agricultural tools have significant supportive roles, practical value, and realworld significance in these contexts.
