The poem "Plowing in the daytime, getting numb at night" comes from the pastoral poem "Four Seasons of Pastoral Fun" written by Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. "Till the fields during the day and get hemp at night" means weeding in the fields during the day and rubbing hemp thread at night.
"Tillage" means weeding. In early summer, the seedlings need weeding. This is what men should do. "Ji Ma" refers to women who rub twine and weave cloth at night after finishing other work during the day. This sentence directly wrote the labor scene.
