Song Dynasty: Xin Qiji
Bai Zhu's new robe is tender and cold. Spring leaves ring in the cloister, Yumen has approved peach blossom waves, and the Moon Palace adopts Gui Xiang first.
Peng Beihai, Phoenix Chaoyang. A book and a sword, the road is long, and it's Xiu Yuan. I will go to Qingyun on this day next year, but I am helping others with a smile.

In this cool weather in early autumn, wearing new clothes made of white ramie, you left me to take the imperial examination. I seem to see you taking the exam later. You will write in the examination room with other candidates, just like spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves and rustling in cloisters. After the provincial examination, Osmanthus fragrans has arrived at the Moon Hall, and you will definitely be on the Guibang, and the Moon Hall will win the laurel. Not only that, but even when the peach blossoms surge next year, they will be ready for you like a fish jumping into the Longmen.
Now you are taking books and swords to the distant and broad road to the exam, just like Kun Peng swam from the North Sea to the South China Sea, and like a phoenix flying to the rising sun. Today next year, you have reached the top, so you can relax and enjoy watching the works that are still busy for fame in this world.
2. "Look at the wheat cutting"
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
The Tian family has less leisure in the month, and people are twice as busy in May.
At night, the south wind rises and the wheat turns yellow.
A woman's husband is hungry and her child is pregnant with pot pulp.
Go with Tian Xiang. Ding Zhuang is in Nangang.
Summer is steaming and rustic, and the back is burning.
I don't know about the heat, but I regret the long summer.
Another poor woman, holding her son,
Grab the ear with your right hand and hang the basket with your left arm.
Listening to his words of concern is very sad.
My family's taxes are gone, so I can take this to satisfy my hunger.
What are my advantages today? I have never been involved in farming and mulberry.
There are 300 stones in the land, and there is surplus grain in the year of Yan.
I am ashamed to read this in private, and I can't forget it every day.

Farmers have no leisure all year round, and they are even busier in May.
A warm south wind blew at night, and the wheat in the field was covered with ridges and ripe yellow.
Women carry food in baskets, and children carry jars full of water and soup.
Men accompany them to deliver meals in the fields and work in Nanshan.
The feet were smoked by the heat on the ground, and the back was baked by the hot sun.
Exhausted, don't feel hot, just cherish summer.
I saw a poor peasant woman, holding her child and following others.
He held the picked ears of wheat in his right hand and hung a broken basket in his left arm.
Listening to her talk about her family made everyone feel sorry for her.
In order to pay taxes, I sold the land and ate my hunger by picking up wheat ears.
What are my advantages now? I have never raised or picked mulberry trees.
The salary is 300 stone a year, and there will be surplus grain at the end of the year.
I am ashamed to think of these things, and I will never forget them day and night.
3. The Book of Harmony
Song: Kong
The west wind, blowing across the plain, brings the fragrance of millet; In spring, splashing into the ditch, the threshing floor is a busy one.
Only it-the old cow who worked hard for a year, fallow on the hillside, chewing grass and bathing in the golden sunset.

4. Rural work in spring
Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
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.

There is a spring pigeon chirping on the house, and there are large white apricot flowers on the edge of the village. Holding an axe to sort out the long branches of mulberry trees and carrying a hoe to watch the passage of spring water.
The swallow flew back last year, as if he knew its lair. The old owner of the house is looking through the New Year calendar. I raised my glass to drink, and then stopped. I can't help but feel disappointed when I think of people who have left their homes to be guests.
