Li Shen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the hard work of laborers to the extreme. His poem "Compassion for Farmers" is well known to all women and children: "It was noon when weeding, and sweat dripped down the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard. " The whole poem vividly depicts the scene that farmers are still working in the fields at noon in the scorching sun, sweating on the scorching land and persuading people to cherish the fruits of their labor.
Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty wrote a poem: "Wealth has no roots, but hard work gains it." Tell people that all wealth and glory are created through hard work. In addition, whether Liu Yuxi's "Beauty Jewelry is full of waves in the sand" or Zheng Ao's "A grain of Redmi, a few drops of cow's blood" are warning us to know how to respect the working people and cherish the hard-won fruits of labor. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, set an example in this respect. He educated the prince like this: "As soon as I eat, I will miss the difficulty of farming;" When I got dressed, I thought about the hardships of textile. "This means that whenever I dress and eat, I will feel the hardships of farmers and weaver girls.
Life is beautiful because of labor, and beauty is wonderful because of hard work. In the Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda described the scene of farmers beating rice all night in Four Seasons: "Laughter is like thunder, and flail sounds bright all night." Write the joy of farmers' harvest and the joy of labor. In another poem of his own with the same name, there is a cloud: "During the day, there is a good show at night, and the children in the village take care of each other." Children and grandchildren are not prepared to farm and weave, but also learn from mulberry trees to grow melons. "He also described several interesting farm production scenes, such as men plowing fields, women weaving hemp, and children learning to grow melons. Li Bai wrote countless poems in his life and handed down nearly a thousand poems. He has a poem "Qiupu Song: Fire shines on heaven and earth": "Fire shines on heaven and earth, and red stars are everywhere. On a moonlit night, the song moves the cold Sichuan. "This is a poem describing and praising smelting workers in a positive way, which is rare in China's voluminous classical poems, so it is of great value. Through just 20 words, we can easily feel the hardships of smelting workers and the praise between the lines of the author.
Labor is the source of life. May is a busy season for wheat harvest. Mature wheat is like a golden ocean. The breeze blows and rustles, but the labor of harvesting wheat is hard. Bai Juyi wrote in his famous poem "Looking at Wheat Cutting": "Tian Jia has less leisure in the month, and people are twice as busy in May. In the evening, the south wind rises and the wheat turns yellow. Mother-in-law is rich in food, and children are full of pot pulp. Go with Tian Xiang. Ding Zhuang is in Nangang. Filled with the heat of the country, the back was scorched by the sun. I don't know how hot it is, but the summer is long. " It describes the scene of women taking their children to the fields to deliver food and water to young people who are cutting wheat. Hard-working young and middle-aged farmers cut wheat with their heads down in Nangang wheat field, their feet were fumigated by the heat, and their backs were baked by the scorching sun. They are exhausted and don't feel hot. They just cherish the long summer and can do more farm work. Through just 20 words, we can easily feel the hardships of smelting workers and the praise between the lines of the author.
