1. "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields·Part 2"
Wei and Jin Dynasties: Tao Yuanming
There were no words when we met, but the road was full of mulberry and hemp.
The days of mulberry and maize have been long, and the days of my soil have been broad.
I am often afraid of frost and sleet, and the grass will be scattered and scattered.
Translation: After meeting, we did not talk about worldly matters, but only talked about the growth of mulberry and hemp in the countryside. The mulberry trees in the field have gradually grown taller, and the area of ??land I cultivate has also increased. I often worry that frost and snow will fall suddenly and crops will wither like grass.
2. "Xinliang"
Xu Ji from the Song Dynasty
The fields are full of water, the rice leaves are in full bloom, and the sun shines through the trees and the dawn smoke is low.
The oriole also loves the coolness of the new weather, flying over the green mountains and singing in the shadows.
Translation: In the endless rice fields, the water ripples slightly, and the neat rice is as neat as a knife. The morning sun shines through the leaves and onto the ground, while the morning mist lingers among the trees. The oriole also likes the cool time in the morning and crows happily in the shadow of the green mountains.
3. "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields·Part 3"
Wei and Jin Dynasties: Tao Yuanming
At the foot of the southern mountain where beans are planted, the grass is thick and the bean seedlings are sparse. I wake up in the morning to sort out the wasteland and filth, and return with a hoe in the moonlight.
The road is narrow, the grass and trees are long, and the evening dew touches my clothes. It's not enough to regret the stain on your clothes, but your wishes are fulfilled.
Translation: I plant beans at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, where weeds are lush and bean seedlings are sparse. I get up early in the morning and go to the fields to remove weeds, and return home under the moonlight when night falls. The mountain path is narrow and overgrown with vegetation, and my clothes were wet with dew at night. It's not a pity that my clothes got wet, I just hope I don't violate my intention to go into seclusion.
4. "Summer Pastoral Miscellany Part 7"
Song Dynasty: Fan Chengda
Working in the fields during the day and planting hemp at night, the children of the village are responsible for their own affairs .
The children and grandchildren have not yet been raised to farm and weave, and they also learn to grow melons near the mulberry tree.
Translation: Weeding in the fields during the day and twisting twine at home at night, men and women in the village each have their own housework. Although the children do not know how to plow and weave, they still learn to grow melons under the shade of the mulberry trees.
5. "Book of Mr. Huyin's Wall"
Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty
The long eaves are swept clean and moss-free, and the flowers and trees are planted by hand. A river of water protects the fields and surrounds them with green, and two mountains with rows of gates bring in green.
The mulberry strips and neem flowers are numerous in the desert, and the wind collects the lingering fragrance and darkens the wall. The yellow bird sings several times in the afternoon dream, and I still suspect that I belong to the mountain garden.
Translation: The courtyard of the thatched house is often cleaned, and it is so clean that there is no trace of moss. Flowers, plants and trees are arranged in rows and ridges, all planted by the owner himself. A small river outside the courtyard protects the farmland and closely surrounds the green seedlings; two green hills open the door to bring green to people.
The mulberry branches are lush and the neem flowers are also very prosperous. The breeze carries the lingering fragrance of neem flowers quietly across the wall. ?The cries of yellow birds awakened me from my lingering dreams at noon. I was in a trance, and I thought I was in the garden of my old residence, Mid-Levels.
