What are the characteristics of Rigveda, an Indian Vedic collection, in praising natural scenery?
There are some poems praising natural scenery in Rigveda, which are often endowed with humanistic characteristics. In this poem, the sun is compared to a white horse and a bull running in the sky. It illuminates heaven and earth with flame-like light, dispels darkness, and forces the stars to flee like thieves. There are also some poems that reflect the social labor situation, such as saying that farmers "tied yokes to plowshares, sowed seeds in furrows, and waved sickles to meet the harvest if the carols came true", vividly reappearing the whole process of labor of the people in ancient India.
