The fields on the hillside are lush with vegetation, and the water color in the rice fields reflects the skylight. The sky is misty and rainy, cuckoos are crying, and the earth is thriving.

works appreciation
This poem describes the field scenery and busy farming scene in the early summer in the rural areas of the south of the Yangtze River in a simple way. The first two sentences describe the natural scenery: green plains, Shirakawa, Zigui and misty rain, and a few strokes outline the unique scenery of the water town in early summer.
"Green times" is used to describe lush vegetation, "white full" means abundant rain, and "divided rules" means urging farming, vividly showing the unique scenery of "April in the country". The last two sentences describe the busy farming, and the screen mainly highlights the image of a farmer who has just harvested silkworm cocoons and transplanted rice in paddy fields, thus setting off the tension and busyness of rural labor in April. Call before and answer after, interwoven into a colorful picture.
