The difference between a rake and a rake

Rake [pa]: a farm tool used to gather or disperse grain, firewood or land leveling, with a long handle and teeth made of wood, bamboo or iron. This tool is used by people.

Rake [ba] noun: a land preparation farm tool used for breaking soil, leveling and weeding. It is divided into tooth harrow, toothless harrow, disc harrow, etc. according to different working parts. This kind of tool is usually pulled by cattle, tractors, etc. to level the land, especially the land just ploughed.

In addition, raking can also be used as a verb, such as raking the land.

If you have been in the countryside, you should have seen these two tools. I came from the countryside and have used both. When we were young, we followed when plowing and planting the land. Sometimes we squatted on the rake to increase the weight. In this case, we usually leveled the land after planting seeds. The weight of adults on the top was too large, empty and light, so we found a child to squat on it, with yellow cattle pulling in front. For children in the countryside, it was a pleasure at that time. ha-ha!

The rake [pa] is used to collect firewood, such as bean leaves, sorghum leaves, corn leaves, etc.
