根据有关文献记载，远古虞舜时代出现的象耕是信史而非神话。象耕是在驯象基础上进一步利用象力作为犁耕的曳引力，是远古先民对畜力能源的利用。开象耕之先河者正是虞舜。史载“舜葬苍梧，象为之耕”，反映了象耕术的南传，促进了我国远古时代南北民族间的交往。 According to the relevant literature, the imagery that emerged in the ancient Yu-Shun era was believed in history rather than mythology. Elephant plowing is the tractive force that further uses the elephant as a plow on the basis of the tame. It is the ancient ancestors’ use of animal power. The pioneer of plowing farming is Yu Shun. History contains “Shun Fu Cangwu, like the plow,” reflecting the South as the tilling of farming, and promote the ancient times our nation’s inter-ethnic exchanges.
