Rural work in spring
Wang Wei's five-character ancient poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty
Pigeons sing on the house in spring, and apricot flowers are white on the edge of the village.
Hold an axe to cut far and wide, and hoe the spring pulse.
Yan knows his lair, so he looks at the new calendar.
If you are in a hurry, you will not be royal, and if you are far away, you will travel far.
[translation]
Spring has come, cuckoos are singing in the house, and there is a large piece of apricot blossom beside the village.
Holding an axe to sort out the long branches of mulberry trees, carrying a hoe to see the source vein of spring water.
When the swallow returns in spring, it seems to know its lair, and the old owner in the house is looking through the New Year calendar.
The toast stopped again, and people who want to leave home to be guests can't help but be disappointed.
