Appreciation of works:

"The day is coming, the night is coming, and the children in the village are in charge." Before their children and grandchildren were released to farm and weave, they also learned to grow melons in the shade of mulberry trees.

The main idea of this poem is: weeding in the fields during the day, rubbing hemp at home at night, and men and women in the village have their own housework. Although the children can't plow and weave, they have learned to grow melons in the shade of mulberry trees.

With simple language and subtle description, this poem enthusiastically praises the intense and busy working life of farmers. The first two sentences, rural men plow and women weave, working day and night, show the poet's sympathy and respect for the working people. The last two sentences vividly describe the rural children's participation in the labor they can, and show their praise for the rural children who love labor. The image of children described in the poem is innocent and lovely. The whole poem has an overview and close-ups, reflecting the situation of rural men, women and children participating in labor from different aspects, and has a strong flavor of life.
