It was noon on the day of hoeing, and sweat dripped from the soil. Who would have thought that every meal on the plate is hard work?
2. "Viewing the Cutting of Wheat" - Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
The Tian family has few free months, but in May people are twice as busy. At night, the south wind blows, and the wheat is covered with yellow.
Women carry a mat to eat, and children carry pots of pulp. When I went to the salary field, Ding Zhuang was in Nangang.
My feet are full of rustic heat, and my back is scorching with the scorching sky. I’m exhausted and don’t know how hot it is, but I’m glad the summer is long.
There is also a poor woman with a child beside her. The right hand holds the earrings, and the left arm hangs a basket.
Hearing his words of care makes those who hear them feel sad. When all the taxes on the family fields are exhausted, this is left to satisfy the hunger.
What merit do I have now? I have never been involved in farming and mulberry trees. The salary of an official is three hundred shi, and Yan has a surplus of food every year.
I feel ashamed when I think of this, and I will never forget it.
3. "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields" - Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty
At the foot of the southern mountain where beans are planted, the grass is thick and the bean seedlings are sparse. I wake up in the morning to sort out the wasteland and filth, and return with a hoe in the moonlight.
The road is narrow, the grass and trees are long, and the evening dew touches my clothes. It's not enough to regret the stain on your clothes, but your wishes are fulfilled.
4. "Pastoral Miscellany in Four Seasons" - Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty

Part 1
Everyone worked together to kiss the beauty and listened to Tian singer Mo Xian . Everyone is willing to plant thousands of cords, and the green hills will be covered with beans and stalks.
Part 2
I have planted seeds in the Northern Mountains and cultivated the Southern Mountains. Is there any bias in helping each other to cultivate them? I wish that all the people in the world would be like me, and there should be less barren fields in the world.
7. "The Charcoal Seller" - Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty
The Charcoal Seller cut down firewood to burn charcoal in the southern mountains. His face was dusty and smoky, his temples were gray and his fingers were black.
Where do you get money from selling charcoal? You wear clothes but eat in your mouth. Poor clothes and clothes, worried about the cold weather.
At night, there is a foot of snow outside the city, and at dawn, the charcoal cart rolls over the ice tracks. The cows were trapped and the people were hungry. The sun was getting high and they rested in the mud outside the south gate of the city.
Who is coming on two pianpian cavalry? The messenger in yellow is in white shirt. He holds the document in his hand and pronounces the edict, returns to the carriage and shouts at the oxen to lead them north.
A cart of charcoal weighs more than a thousand kilograms, and the palace envoy will regret it. Half a piece of red gauze and one foot of silk are tied to the cow's head and filled with charcoal.

11. "The Farmer Looks Clear" - Yong Yuzhi of the Tang Dynasty
I heard the west wind and rain in Qin, and I asked whether the west wind would return sooner or later. The white-haired old farmer stands like a crane, looking at the clouds from the heights of the wheat field.
