1. Ancient poems describing cherishing the fruits of labor
Tang Yuefu·Li Kun
Compassion for farmers and hoeing grain
Planting a grain of millet in spring , harvest thousands of seeds in autumn.
There is no idle land everywhere, and farmers are still starving to death.
It’s noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil.
Who knows that every meal on the plate is hard work.
Li Shen, whose courtesy name is Gongchui. He was not only one of the advocates of the New Yuefu Movement in the mid-Tang Dynasty, but also the earliest practitioner of writing New Yuefu poems. Yuan Zhen once said: "To my friend Li Gongchui, I wrote twenty new poems for Yuefu. There is a saying in elegance, and it is worthy of writing. I will pick out those who are particularly urgent when they are ill, list them together, and cover twelve. "Yuan Zhen composed twelve poems, and Bai Juyi wrote fifty more poems, and renamed them "New Yuefu". It can be seen that Li Shen's "New Title Yuefu" had an influence on them. Doesn't the so-called "writing in vain" also mean that "articles are written according to the time, and songs and poems are written according to the situation"? It is a pity that the twenty poems of "New Yuefu" written by Li Shen are no longer circulated today. However, the "Two Poems of Compassion for the Farmers" (known as "Two Ancient Style Poems") written by him in his early years are also enough to reflect the "worthwhile writing". "the spirit of.
At the beginning of the first poem, "one grain of millet" turns into "ten thousand seeds" to concretely and vividly describe the harvest, and use "planting" and "harvest" to praise the farmers' labor. . The third sentence is further extended to show that within the four seas, wasteland has turned into fertile farmland. This, combined with the first two sentences, forms a vivid scene of fruitful fruits and "gold" everywhere. "Introduction" is for a more powerful "fa". These three lines of poet use progressive writing techniques to show the great contribution and infinite creativity of the working people, which makes the following conclusion more dignified. , even more painful. "Although the harvest is auspicious, what happens in the harvest?" (Luo Yin's "Snow") Yes, so what if the harvest is good? "Farmers are still starving to death" not only makes the previous and previous content coherent, but also highlights the problem. The hard-working farmers obtained a bumper harvest with their hands, but they themselves were still empty-handed and starved to death. The poem forces people to think with a heavy heart: Who caused this human tragedy? The answer is clear. The poet puts all this behind the scenes and lets readers find and think about it. To combine the two sides, it is as Marx said: "Labor produces amazing works (miracles) for the rich, but labor produces abject poverty for the laborers. Labor produces palaces, but labor produces for the laborers Cave. Labor produces beauty, but it produces deformity for workers."
The beginning of the second poem depicts the farmers still working in the fields at noon, dripping with sweat. beads, sprinkled on the scorching earth. This adds that from "one grain of millet" to "ten thousand grains", to "there is no idle land in the world", it is watered by thousands of farmers with their blood and sweat; this also explains why "every grain of millet" below has worked hard. It captures the most typical image, which can be said to be equivalent to ten. It summarizes the life of farmers who work hard all year round despite severe cold, heat, rain, snow, wind and frost. Originally, every grain of food and every drop of sweat should be known to everyone except naive children. But what is the reality? The poet did not say it clearly, but if readers think about it for a moment, they will find the other side of reality: the "banquet of human flesh" with "eight treasures of land and water", the evil of countless grains "imported into official warehouses and turned into earth" and the " The arrogance of raising dogs in the ship will make them eat meat. It can be seen that "Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work" is not an empty preaching or a harmless moan; it is similar to a profound motto, but it not only wins with its persuasiveness, but also because of its profound meaning. The poet's infinite resentment and sincere sympathy are condensed in his lament.
Of course Li Shen did not understand the principles of class oppression and class exploitation, but it is not difficult to see these two poems from the slogan of the peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty decades later: "Heaven makes up for the average" Objectively, it touches on the main contradiction of feudal society.
"Two Poems of Compassion for Peasants" does not reflect its theme through the description of individual characters and events, but takes the entire peasant life, destiny, and those unreasonable realities as the object of description. For these two short poems, it is easy to become conceptual and general. However, the poem does not give people this feeling. This is because the author chose more typical life details and well-known facts to concentrate on depicting the story. The contradictions in that deformed society say what people want to say. Therefore, it is touching, general but not abstract.
The poet also uses the techniques of combining virtuality and reality, contrasting each other, and setting off the front and back to enhance the expressive power of the poem. Therefore, although it is so popular and clear, it does not have the disadvantage of being monotonous and shallow, and can make people read it frequently. The poet is also very particular about pronunciation and rhyme. He adopts an ancient and informal form, which on the one hand facilitates free expression; on the other hand, it also gives the poem a simple and heavy style commensurate with the content. Both poems use short oblique rhymes, which give people a feeling of urgency, grief, anger and frustration, which further enhances the artistic appeal of the poems. 2. Ancient poems about labor
1. Li Shen of Tang Dynasty hoeing crops
It was noon on the day of hoeing crops, and the sweat dropped from the crops to the soil. Who knows dishes on the menu, A Journey.
2. Fan Zhongyan, a fisherman on the river in the Northern Song Dynasty

4. Watching the Cutting of Wheat by Tang Bai Juyi
The Tian family has few free months, but in May people are twice as busy. At night, the south wind blows, and the wheat is covered with yellow.
The women carry baskets of food, and the children carry pots of pulp. When I went to the salary field, Ding Zhuang was in Nangang.
The feet are full of heat and rustic, and the back is scorching with the light of the sky. I’m exhausted and don’t know how hot it is, but I’m glad the summer is long.
There is a poor woman with her baby next to her. The right hand holds the earrings, and the left arm hangs a basket.
Hearing his words of care makes those who hear them feel sad. When all the taxes on the family fields are exhausted, this is left to satisfy the hunger.
What merit do I have now? I once did not work in farming and mulberry trees. The official salary is three hundred stones, and Yan has more than enough food every year.
5. Tang Li Shen, a pity for farmers
Plant one grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand grains in autumn. There is no idle land all over the world, and farmers are still starving to death. 3. The motto about cherishing labor
