There are poems describing and praising labor.

Chu River

(Don Li Shen)

Weeding is at noon,

Sweat dripped down the soil.

Who knows the food on the plate,

Every grain is bitter.

Fa Tan Shi Guo Jing Feng Weifeng

Kan Kan cut sandalwood, the river dried up, and the river was clear and rippling.

No crops, no crops, no crops, no crops.

No hunting, no hunting. Are there any county badgers in Huzhan Pavilion?

He is a gentleman, he is not a vegetarian!

Kan Kan is spreading. It is placed by the river. The river is clear and straight.

No crops, no crops, no crops, no crops, no crops.

No hunting, no hunting, is there a special county in Hu Zhan's court?

He is a gentleman, and he is not a vegetarian!

Kan Kan cut the wheel, the river flows, the river is clear, and the river is destroyed.

No crops, no crops, no crops, no crops.

No hunting, no hunting. Is there a county quail in Huzhanerting?

He is a gentleman, but he is extraordinary!

Riverside fisherman

fan zhongyan

People on the river. But I like perch beauty.

Look at those poor fishermen, floating up and down in the big waves and rocking in the boats.

Silkworm girl

Zhang Yu

When I went into town yesterday,

I came back with tears on my face.

Those who are covered in Luo Qi,

Not a silkworm raiser.

Tube cutting wheat

Bai Juyi

The Tian family 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 about the heat, but I regret the long summer.

There is another poor woman with her son in her arms.

Grab the ear with your right hand and hang the basket with your left arm.

Listening to his words of concern is very sad.

My family's taxes are gone, so I can take this to satisfy my hunger.

Today, I have no merit, and I have never worked in farming and mulberry.

There are three hundred stones in the land, and there is surplus food at the age of eight.

I am ashamed to read this in private, and I can't forget it every day.

Country April

Weng Juan

Full of mountains and green, full of white rivers,

In the regular sound, the rain began to rain like smoke.

There are few idle people in the countryside in April.

Only when sericulture is planted in the field.
