During the Three Kingdoms era in China, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han, invented a unique means of transportation known as the "Wooden bull and flying Horse". The product we are discussing here represents the "Wooden Ox". This invention has a deep historical story and practical needs behind it. In that period, the Shu Han state was preparing to attack the northern Wei state, but its geographical location was in the center of a huge basin surrounded by continuous mountain ranges. Although there were small paths through the mountains, they were rugged and narrow, making the transportation of military supplies such as food and fodder a big problem.
During long-distance transport, military supplies were often consumed by the soldiers and horses carrying them before reaching their destination. In addition to the rugged terrain, safety accidents frequently occurred, with people and horses often falling into valleys. Moreover, the shortage and instability of military supplies also affected the strategic decisions of military leaders and the financial situation of the state. Against this backdrop, the Prime Minister of Shu Han invented two astonishing mechanical devices: the Wooden Ox and the Gliding Horse.
These two devices were capable of transporting military supplies over high mountains without fatigue. They did not need to be fueled, nor did they require any fossil fuels or electricity, and were able to walk on their own and carry very heavy loads. This provided tremendous logistical support for the war, while minimizing food loss and significantly reducing transportation time. Soldiers only needed to hold the towing rope of the Wooden Ox or Gliding Horse and pull it forward.
This was indeed an incredible invention! It's worth noting that this occurred in the year 200 AD, more than a thousand years ago. Even in our current era, this innovation remains impressive. The head and waist of the Wooden Ox contained two large storage spaces that could be used to store food. At the same time, the back and sides of the Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse could also be used to transport military supplies.
Through this story, we can not only understand the wisdom of our ancestors but also inspire children's interest in science and technology. We hope that in this way, children can actively learn, rather than being forced to learn under pressure from their parents. After all, interest is the best teacher!
