This poem vividly depicts the fruitful scenes everywhere, highlighting the realistic problem that farmers have worked hard to get a bumper harvest but starved to death with empty hands.
At the beginning of this poem, the harvest is vividly described by turning "one millet" into "ten thousand seeds", and the farmers' labor is praised by "sowing" and "harvesting". The third sentence, by extension, shows that within the four seas, wasteland becomes fertile land, which, combined with the first two sentences, constitutes a vivid scene of fruitful and "gold" everywhere. "Enlightening men" is for stronger "hair". These three poems show the great contribution and infinite creativity of the working people with progressive brushwork, making the following knot more dignified and more painful.
"Farmers still starve to death" not only makes the content coherent, but also highlights the problem. Hard-working farmers got a bumper harvest with their hands, but they were still empty-handed and starved to death. Poetry forces people to think "who created this human tragedy" with a heavy heart. The poet puts all this behind the scenes for readers to discover and think. Combining these two aspects, as Marx said: "Labor has produced amazing works (miracles) for the rich, but labor has produced extreme poverty for the workers. Labor built palaces, but caves for laborers. Labor produces beauty, but it produces deformities for workers. "
"Planting a millet in spring and harvesting 10,000 seeds in autumn" is probably familiar to everyone. But it is often difficult for poets to get in touch with society and class and think about some problems. The poet thought of it. However, he saw the cruel reality that "farmers are still starving to death" from the harvest scene of Tianxia. This dial is surprisingly eye-catching and naturally left a deep impression on people.
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 this poem, 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." In this way, the situation before and after is in sharp contrast, which causes readers to think about problems and draw conclusions from the comparison, which is much more profound and powerful than the author telling readers his own views directly.
