Since the 1940s, thousands of tombs with murals from the periods of Sixteen Kingdoms in Wei and Jin Dynasties have been discovered in the west of the Yellow River. A large number of mural bricks with agricultural images were unearthed in these mural tombs. According to the statistics, there are 143 bricks, which were mainly distributed in Gaotai, Jiayuguan, Dunhuang areas, and few in Jinchang, Yumen and other places. This paper discusses the agricultural tools seen in the agricultural map, analyzing their function and shape, so as to understand the agricultural production and farming techniques in the west of the Yellow River at that time which would reflect people's daily farming life.
