Second, establish the market and open the market for the first time. According to Zhouyi? According to quotations, Shennong "takes Japan and China as the city, takes the people of the world, gathers the wealth of the world, and retreats from business, each with its own place". The market invented by Shennong, which takes Japan and China as markets and barters things, is the origin and cornerstone of China's monetary and commercial development.

Fourth, do banjo to entertain people. According to "Shiben? In the next chapter, Shennong invented a musical instrument. He cut tung trees into pianos and weaved silk into strings. This kind of piano was later called Shennong Qin. Shennong Qin is "three feet, six inches and six minutes long, with five strings of Yue, Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu". The sound made by this kind of piano can show the virtue of heaven and earth, the harmony of Shennong and entertain people.
Fifth, cut wood into bows and dominate the world. Shennong created bows and arrows, which effectively stopped the attack of wild animals, effectively attacked the invasion of foreign tribes, and defended people's life safety and labor achievements.
Six, making pottery, improving life. Before pottery was invented, people could only barbecue food with fire. With pottery, people can cook food, store things, make wine and disinfect. The use of pottery has improved the living conditions of human beings and had a far-reaching impact on human food hygiene and medical development.
In order to encourage people to live regularly and plant crops according to seasons, Yandi Shennong also made calendars and stars to divide day and night into the sun and the moon, with the month as the 30th day and 1 1 month as the winter solstice.
