1, "the first kind of farmers"
Li Shen in Tang Dynasty
In spring, as long as you sow a seed, you can harvest a lot of food in autumn. There is no waste of heaven and earth, and the toiling peasants are still starving to death.
Translation:
As long as a seed is sown in spring, a lot of food can be harvested in autumn. All over the world, no piece of land is idle and uncultivated, and hard-working farmers will still starve to death.
2. "If you live in exile, please learn from the peasants. Tian Nanshan's words are precious."
Ming Dynasty: Wang Shouren
Dragon living in exile, my followers were very dissatisfied when they met the dilemma of Confucius' old food. Fortunately, wasteland can also be reclaimed for land reclamation, and farm tools are easy to arrange. Most local farmers are knives, so it is convenient to learn imitation. Before spring is over, plant these acres of farmland quickly. Is it just for a full meal, to harvest and to set a banquet? The harvested grain is left to the crows, and the rest is distributed to the poor. Tomorrow morning, farm tools will be used to reclaim wasteland. The mountains are cold and vulnerable to freezing.
Explanation:
Exiled in Longchang, he met the dilemma of Confucius like Chen Jueliang, and his followers were dissatisfied. Fortunately, barren slopes around the country can also be reclaimed, and farm tools are easy to prepare. Most local farmers are slash-and-burn farmers, so it is convenient to learn to imitate. Plant these acres before the end of spring.
Is it just for a full meal, and when the harvest is good, it is used to treat guests and hold a banquet? Leave the surplus grain from the bumper harvest to the snakehead, and distribute the surplus grain to poor families. Tomorrow morning, I will use farm tools to reclaim land. It's cold in the mountains and it's easy to frost. Don't miss the time.
3. farmhouse
Tang dynasty: Yan Yu ren
In the middle of the night, the tiger took advantage of the small tillage, and the cow gradually could not walk. When people don't know the hardships of farmers, they will say that Tanaka was born.
Explanation:
In the middle of the night, the children were called up, and they were digging in the field before dawn. The thin old cow dragged the plow in the field, and the more it dragged, the slower it dragged, and it was almost too tired to drag the plow. Most people don't know the hardships of farmers, but they say that the rice and grains in the fields grow naturally.
4. "Look at the wheat cutting"
Tang Dynasty: 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 and daughter-in-law, accompanied by pot pulp, went with the battlefield, and Ding Zhuang was in Nangang. It is full of rustic heat, burning the back and burning the sun, not knowing the heat, cherishing the long summer. There was a poor woman with her son by her side, an ear in her right hand and a basket hanging from her 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. What are my advantages today? I have never been involved in farming and mulberry. There are 300 stones in the land, and there is surplus food at the age of 20. I am ashamed to read this in private, and I can't forget it every day.
Explanation:
Farmers have no leisure all year round, and they are even busier in May. A warm south wind blew at night, and the wheat in the field was covered with ridges and ripe yellow. Women carry food in baskets, and children carry jars full of water and soup. Men accompany them to deliver meals in the fields and work in Nanshan. The feet were smoked by the heat on the ground, and the back was baked by the hot sun. Exhausted, don't feel hot, just cherish summer.
I saw a poor peasant woman, holding her child and following others. He held the picked ears of wheat in his right hand and hung a broken basket in his left arm. Listening to her talk about her family made everyone feel sorry for her. In order to pay taxes, I sold the land and ate my hunger by picking up wheat ears. What are my advantages now? I have never raised or picked mulberry trees. The salary is 300 stone a year, and there will be surplus grain at the end of the year. I am ashamed to think of these things, and I will never forget them day and night.
