刀knife耕plough火fire种plant

In ancient times, peasants in China farmed using the slash-and burn method—刀耕火种. This method involves burning wild grass to make fertilizer, then using a knife to cut holes in the ground to put seeds in.

刀耕火种sometimes is used to describe something that is in a primitive or underdeveloped stage.

【拼音】dāo gēng huǒ zhòng

【解释】古时一种耕种方法,把地上的草烧成灰做肥料,就地挖坑下种。

【出处】《旧唐书·严震传》:“梁汉之间,刀耕火耨。”
