What was the Han Dynasty daily life like?

Most of the Han society lived or worked on farmers. Farmers lived in villages near the farms were they work. their homes were usually made of mud brick and were one or two storeys tall. Only a few rich farmers had an ox or two to pull the plows, but the poor farmers had to pull the plows themselves.I couldn't imagine how tiring it would have been to pull a plow all day, Could you?
