Thank you very much for correcting me.

Decades ago in the countryside in China, farmers held their grains with "茓子" (xué zi). This stuff was made from reed strips (as you can see in the picture), it was narrow and long.

When farmers use it, while putting grains in its circle, they just rotate it and make it gradually higher.

I didn't know how to say it in English at first, and I saw a translation app that said that it was a "coarse mat".

Because I am not sure, I got a picture of it to make it clear to my readers.

There is a Chinese word "当场" or "现场"(dāng chǎng, xiàn chǎng), I also didn’t know an equivalent English word for it. I looked the word up on a translation app. The app gave me the phrase "on the spot", but I am still not sure if it is correct.

By saying "we baked the sweet potatoes on the spot" means where we found them and where we baked them.

I hope I made myself clear.

I don't want to change it because it is still correct, though in "farmers held their grains with "茓子" (xué zi).", you could also have "using" or "in" in place of "with".

Work to avoid run-on sentences (two complete sentences connected without proper punctuation or connecting words).

Because I amwas not sure, I got a picture of it to make it clear to my readers.

In the last sentence you saw the translation in the past, and you got a picture in the past, so to be consistent you would say you were also uncertain in the past.

There is a Chinese word "当场" or "现场"(dāng chǎng, xiàn chǎng), I also didn’don't know an equivalent English word for it.

Here you can use the present tense, because you still don't know an equivalent word, and there is nothing else you need to be consistent with.

I looked the word up oin a translation app.

You can say "on", but the preposition "in" is more common and more correct.

By saying "we baked the sweet potatoes on the spot", it means where we foune baked them and where we bakefound them.

Good work overall. Work to make your verb tenses consistent in paragraphs, and also be on the watch for run-on sentences.
