"After cutting the grain at noon, sweat dripped into the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard. " Yes, as the saying goes, behind every grain there is an industrious farmer.
Today, I will introduce a farmer in our village-Wang.
Uncle Wang is forty years old this year and looks much older than his actual age. He has dark skin and short hair. He often wears a straw hat and an old jacket, which makes him look thin and short. But he is unambiguous about agriculture.
He gets up early every day and goes to the fields to cure pesticides and weeds ... it's hard work and hard work. After several years of hard work, he has planted dozens of acres of land. From being poor at the beginning, I don't worry about eating or drinking now.
Uncle Wang is not only hardworking, but also full of wisdom. Uncle Wang didn't know the experience of farming at first, and suffered some losses, but he was not discouraged at all. He consulted others everywhere and bought some books about rice or other farming. I couldn't read, so I asked my family to read it to him. Then I studied hard and finally mastered some skills and experience. He often said: "Farming seems simple, and there is indeed a lot of learning!"
Once, everyone bought seeds, and every household basically bought the same seeds. Only uncle Wang is different from them. Someone asked him why he bought this seed. He said: "In my experience, the weather this year is suitable for this kind of seed." Sure enough, in the end, he gained much more than others. Slowly he began to get rich, and finally he used mechanization. Since then, he has become a celebrity in our village.
Although farming has made Uncle Wang work hard for quite a while. But in the end it paid off. It is really bitter and food, sweet and food.

Zhuangzi's hometown was uncontroversial before the Tang and Song Dynasties, which is now Mengcheng County, Anhui Province.
Today, Mengcheng County comes from Gumeng County. Mongolia has long been a county-level administrative unit. In the post-Han era (AD 25-220), "Mongolia" was called "Mengcheng". County Records clearly records that there are nine cities in Yuzhou, among which "Meng" is the city. Therefore, "Meng" has been called "Mengcheng" since the late Han Dynasty. The county and county-level administrative units in the later Han Dynasty were all called cities, especially those with single words, such as Meng, Xiang and Yu, which later became Mengcheng, Xiangcheng and Yucheng. After the county system was restored, Meng became Mengcheng County and kept the word "city".
Zhang Zhan, a scholar in the Jin Dynasty, once wrote Liezi Zhu, and Zhang Zhan clearly wrote: "Zhuangzi, a native of Song Mengcheng, is a garden official." It can be seen that the rulers are still called "Mengcheng". The name Mengcheng comes from the later Han Dynasty. After the Han and Jin Dynasties and before the Tang Dynasty, the place names of Mengcheng changed. Mengcheng was once called "Mountain Mulberry", and the mountain mulberry was behind the country, but before and after it was called Mountain Mulberry, "Mengcheng" also appeared repeatedly in historical records. However, since the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (AD 742), Mengcheng has been reconfirmed as "Mengcheng County", and 1, 000 years has remained unchanged. Therefore, some scholars do not distinguish between historical records, and arbitrarily think that Mengcheng has existed since the Tang Dynasty, which is inconsistent with historical facts.
"Meng" is a county-level administrative unit that existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The later Han Dynasty called Mengcheng. Since the Tang Dynasty, the name of Mengcheng has remained unchanged. Mengcheng is one of the famous historical and cultural cities in China.
"Meng" is the hometown of Zhuangzi, which was first put forward by Sima Qian. Historical records? The Biography of Zhuangzi is accompanied by the Biography of Laozi and Han Fei. The first sentence is "Zhuangzi is a Mongolian, and his name is Zhou." The later Han called "Meng" "Mengcheng", and Zhuangzi was naturally from Mengcheng.
Wang Anshi (A.D. 102 1 ~ 1086) and Su Dongpo (A.D.1036 ~1) confirmed this point.
In Su Dongpo's complete works, there is a Zhuangzi Memorial Hall, which was written for Mengcheng people to build the Zhuangzi Memorial Hall. At the beginning of the article, it is "Zhuangzi, Mongolian." This monument was unearthed in Mengcheng in recent years. Although it is a remnant tablet, it contains the original word 186. According to expert appraisal, the inscription was written by Su Dongpo himself.
There is a poem in Wang Wen's Collection of Official Documents: Qingyantang in Mengcheng.
