text: The emphasis on learning from the advanced experience of the Han was transformed into a campaign whereby all nationalities learned from each other, complete with down-to-earth homilies. For examples, commune members in Yenpien were said to have noticed that the type of plow used by Han made deep furrows in the soil but damaged the ground, while the plow favored by Koreans made only a superficial cut in the earth and did no damage to the soil. Commune members reportedly talked over the problem and decided to combine the best features of the two. They eventually came up with a design that permitted deep plowing without damage to the soil, and they named it the “unity plow.”⁵⁹ The moral, though left unstated, was obvious: mutual cooperation had resulted in mutual benefit, and another difference among nationalities had disappeared.
In Yenpien, also, the autonomous chou government instituted an annual "Publicize Nationalities Solidarity Month."
