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.
Sow a seed in spring and you can harvest a lot of food in autumn. There is not a piece of land that is not cultivated, but farmers still starve to death.
Second, Don Li Shen's Two Poems for Farmers, second
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?
Farmers are weeding in the midday sun, and sweat drips from them on the land where seedlings grow. Who knows that every meal on the plate is bought by farmers with hard work?
Extended information 1. Creation background
According to Fan Gang's Yunxi Friendship in the Tang Dynasty and Lu Shu's Biography of Wei in the old Tang Dynasty, it can be roughly inferred that this group of poems was written by Shen Li in the fifteenth year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong (799).
Second, appreciate
Compared with those famous poems, these two short poems are not excellent in the flowery Tang poetry world, but they are widely spread, well known to women and children, and it is not unreasonable to be recited and tasted by people.
First of all, the contents of these two poems are the most familiar things that people often come into contact with. However, you don't really know what you are most familiar with. There are many things in life that you turn a blind eye to. If someone tries to enlighten you, explain the essence, or point out some truth involved, you will feel very eye-catching and clear, thus deepening your understanding. This is the reason why these two little poems have vitality.
Secondly, when the poet expounds the above contents, he does not use vague abstractions, but uses vivid images and profound contrasts to expose problems and explain the reasons, so that people can easily accept and understand them.
Like the first three sentences of the first song, in general, they all use vivid images to summarize the hard work of farmers in the vast fields, such as spring planting and autumn harvest. These sufferings have brought a lot of food, so we can live, but the last sentence has become "farmers are still starving."
