The first two sentences of "Pastoral Miscellany in Four Seasons" (Part 31) by Fan Chengda, a poet of the Song Dynasty, depict a scene of young farmers working hard in rural summer life.
The first sentence "I work in the fields during the day and work on hemp at night" means: I go to the fields to weed during the day, and when I get home at night, I have to knead the twine. Day: daytime. Go out: go out, go out. Yuntian: hoeing the ground and weeding. Night: night. Ji Ma: Rubbing twine. In early summer, the rice seedlings need to be weeded, which is usually a job done by men. "Ji Ma" means that after women finish other work during the day, they knead twine and weave it into cloth at night. This poem directly describes the intense labor rhythm.
The second sentence "Every son and daughter in a village is in charge of his own family", village: village. Children: male and female. Everyone is in charge: Everyone does his or her own thing. This poem uses the eyes and tone of an old farmer to describe the hard work of young people in the village. They work hard day and night to run the family, doing their own thing and working hard.
The poet used a fresh style of writing to vividly and delicately describe the intense labor atmosphere and scenes in the early summer in the countryside, expressing his praise for the hard-working young farmers in the countryside.
