This poem is about the drought in summer and farmers' longing for rain. The season of "the seedlings are green in May" is the time when crops need water, and "it rains for ten days", followed by drought. The two sentences "Oucuo" describe drought, "Thirst" and "Flying into the sky at dusk" indicate that the drought is serious. The words "rice price" describe the consequences of disasters, "rice price is often older" reveals frequent disasters, crop failure, "pastoral livelihood is not" can not rely on agriculture to make a living, revealing farmers' anxiety and bitterness. The last two sentences emphasize the urgency of watching the rain with the scene of farmers leaning against the door to watch the sky.
This poem vividly conveys the misery and helplessness of farmers because of drought and no rain, reflects the hardships of farmers' living conditions, and shows the poet's concern and sympathy for farmers' suffering.
