Compassion for Peasants is two five-character ancient poems written by Li Shen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, which are included in the Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty. This group of poems profoundly reflects the living conditions of farmers in feudal China. The first poem vividly depicts the fruitful scene everywhere, highlighting the realistic problem that farmers have worked hard to get a bumper harvest, but they starve to death with empty hands; The second song describes the scene of working in farmers' fields at noon in the scorching sun, which generally shows the hard work life of farmers all year round. Finally, the poet expressed his heartfelt sympathy for the farmers with the motto "Who knows that every meal is hard". The poetry anthology selected typical life details and well-known facts, and concentrated on describing the social contradictions at that time. The style of the whole poem is simple and heavy, the language is popular and simple, the syllables are harmonious and bright, the combination of reality and reality, and the comparative application enhances the expressive force of the whole poem. These two poems are not only widely circulated among the people, but also have a certain influence in the history of literature.
