1, Guiyuan, Part III Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties: Tao Yuanming
Original text:
I planted beans at the foot of Nanshan, and the weeds in the field were covered with peas.
Get up early in the morning to get rid of weeds, and come back with hoes in the moonlight at night.
The narrow path covered with vegetation, the night dew wet my clothes.
It's not a pity to get wet, but I hope it won't be against my will.
Translation:
I plant beans at the foot of Nanshan, where weeds are flourishing and peas are sparse. Get up early in the morning to pull weeds in the fields and go home in the moonlight at night. The narrow path was covered with vegetation, and the night dew wet my clothes. It's not a pity that my clothes are wet. I just hope it won't go against my wish to go back to farming.
2. Shajiangcun Road in Huanxi Song Dynasty: Fan Chengda
Original text:
Ten miles in the west of the field is ripe with fragrant rice, the hibiscus fence is long with bamboo filaments, and the hanging fruit is green and yellow.
The dense fog knows that the autumn morning is wet, and the thin clouds cover the sun and noon, so there is no need to fly over to protect the army.
Translation:
Golden ten-mile flat land, fragrant rice fragrance, red hibiscus flowers beside the farmhouse bamboo fence, long bamboo swaying in the wind, countless green and yellow mountain fruits hanging on the branches and smiling. The fog is getting thicker in the autumn morning, and the humid air is refreshing. The thin clouds at noon covered the sun again, not to mention protecting my uniform with a cover.
3. "Two Antiques/Two Peasants" Tang Dynasty: Li Shen
Original text:
In spring, as long as you sow a seed, you can harvest a lot of food in autumn.
There is no waste of heaven and earth, and the toiling peasants are still starving to death.
At noon in summer, the sun is very hot, farmers are still working, and beads are dripping into the soil.
Who would have thought that our bowl of rice and grain are full of the blood and sweat of farmers?
Translation:
As long as a seed is sown in spring, a lot of food can be harvested in autumn. All over the world, no piece of land is idle and uncultivated, and hard-working farmers will still starve to death. At noon in midsummer, when the sun was shining, farmers were still working and sweat dripped into the soil. Who would have thought that the rice in our bowl was full of the blood and sweat of farmers?
4, "Weishui Farmhouse" Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
Original text:
Sunset shines on the market, and cattle and sheep go home along the path.
A rugged old man in a thatched door leaned against a cane and thought about his son, the shepherd boy.
There are whistling pheasants? Full ears of wheat, sleeping silkworms and peeled mulberry leaves.
Jojo and Fu Tian greet each other cordially.
No wonder I long for a simple life and sigh the old song, oh, back to the past! .
Translation:
The village is full of the afterglow of the sunset, and cattle and sheep are returning along the deep alleys. The old man was thinking about his grandchildren who were eating grass. He waited in his firewood with a crutch. Pheasants are chirping, wheat is heading, silkworms are asleep, and mulberry leaves are sparse. The farmers returned to the village with hoes, smiling and reluctant to part. How can I not envy being so comfortable? I couldn't help singing "Decline" in frustration.
5. Suqingyuan Xiashan Temple Tang Dynasty: Song Wenzhi
Original text:
Xiang Xiu hangs a golden brake, and the flying spring is a stone gate. Empty mountains are quiet, and the night is silent.
It is said that the first time you smell a bird, you will be determined by your heart. Wulingyuan is no different from a dusty city.
Translation:
Xiangqi suspended the golden brake and splashed at Shimen. Empty mountains only practice, no noise in the middle of the night. I just heard about birds, and I want to decide on apes. What's the difference between Wulingyuan and dusty cities?

Translation:
Only when you take a snipe boat in Shaoshui will you know that the highest realm is in Lingnan. Ficus pumila has natural eyebrows and green reeds. Visit Xiao Di Song Gang Temple in the morning, and spend the evening in the shadow pool of Chang 'e Guishu.
