Viewing the Cutting of Wheat
Author: (Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
The Tian family has few free months, but in May people are even busier.
Coming to the South at Night The wind blows, and the wheat is covered with yellow.
The women carry baskets with food, and the children carry pots of pulp.
They go to the salary fields with them, and the young men are in Nangang.
The weather is full of rustic heat, and the sky is scorching on my back.
I am too tired to know the heat, but I am grateful that the summer is long.
There is a poor woman with her baby beside her. < /p>
The right hand holds the ear of the deceased, and the left arm hangs the basket.
Listening to his words of concern, the listener is sad.
The family fields have been taxed, so I pick this up to satisfy my hunger. .
What merit do I have now? I have never been engaged in farming and mulberry farming.
I am an official with a salary of three hundred dan, and I have more than enough food every year.
I am ashamed of myself when I think about this. The day cannot be forgotten.
Among them, the sentence describing the ripening of wheat is "The south wind blows at night, and the wheat is covered with long yellow."
The sentence about farmers being persecuted by taxes is "The tax on the family fields is exhausted. Pick this up to satisfy your hunger."
