The farmer threw the seedlings into the air, the peasant woman caught them, the youngest son pulled them up and the eldest son put them in the water. A hat is a helmet and hemp fiber is armor, but it seems useless. Rain enters from the head and wets the shoulder blades. Calling him to stop for breakfast and have a rest, the farmer bent down and tried to transplant rice seedlings, but he didn't answer for a long time. The roots of the seedlings are still not strong, and the planting has not been completed. We must take good care of goslings and ducklings, and don't let them ruin the seedlings.
Original poem:
Fu Tian threw the seedlings to the woman, and the children pulled them out and put them in.
Dai Li is a beggar, and the rain drips from head to shoulder.
When eating, ask the canal to rest for half a minute, but bow your head and bend over just not to pick it up.
Take care of geese and ducklings when the roots of seedlings are not firmly twisted.

Poetry appreciation
"A year's plan lies in spring", and the transplanting season is the busiest. The first four sentences of the poem concentrate on the tension of farming and the hardship of farmers in simple terms. Men, women and children dare not slack off, and they are busy in the fields together, doing their best, just like fighting, letting the rain pour down and soaking their clothes. The last four sentences further exaggerate this tense atmosphere through dialogue.
Although the farmer didn't answer his wife's question directly, he also saw his hard work and worry about everything from the way he bowed his head and hesitated, and from the words he told his wife to look after geese and ducks and not trample on the seedlings that were not firmly rooted. The whole poem is concise, concise and lively. The first half and the second half are changeable and complement each other.
This poem was written at the beginning of April in the sixth year of Xichun (1 179). Although there are some new sentences in the poem, such as "Dai Li is a beggar, but he is a strange metaphor for survival", as far as the whole poem is concerned, he basically got rid of the stereotype of Jiangxi poetry.
