This seven-character quatrain depicts a fresh and beautiful picture of busy farming in a mountain village with concise and delicate brushwork.
The original text is as follows: Wang Jian, Tang Dynasty in Yuguoshan Village, there are one or two chickens crow in the rain, and the Banqiao on the road in Zhuxi Village is slanted. The woman and aunt call each other to bathe the silkworms, and take a leisurely look at the gardenias in the atrium.
Translation: There are cockcrows coming from one or two houses, green bamboos grow on both sides of the creek, the country path crosses the creek, and the wooden bridge is crooked. The sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law in the village call each other to clean the silkworms, and the gardenias in the courtyard are not appreciated due to busy farming.
