Coba jelasin Kereta angin Tiongkok dari Gerobak tangan dong

Walaupun catatan kereta angin china datang dari abad ke 6 kendaraan layar darat ini bukan gerobak tangan, dan kapan penemuan gerobak tangan yang dilengkapi dengan layar ini belum diketahui. Catatanya ditemukan di buku tahun 1797 karya van Braam Houckgeest.

Ketertarikan Eropa terhadap kereta angin Tiongkok ini ditulis oleh Andreas Everardus van Braam Houckgeest pada 1797, yang menulis:

Near the southern border of Shandong one finds a kind of wheelbarrow much larger than that which I have been describing, and drawn by a horse or a mule. But judge by my surprise when today I saw a whole fleet of wheelbarrows of the same size. I say, with deliberation, a fleet, for each of them had a sail, mounted on a small mast exactly fixed in a socket arranged at the forward end of the barrow. The sail, made of matting, or more often of cloth, is five or six feet high, and three or four feet broad, with stays, sheets, and halyards, just as on a Chinese ship. The sheets join the shafts of the wheelbarrow and can thus be manipulated by the man in charge.

Kereta angin ini masih digunakan sampai abad ke 20.
