Song of Autumn Pu describes and praises smelters, while Benevolence for Farmers depicts the scene of working in farmers' fields at noon in the scorching sun.
The poems describing and praising the smelter workers in Qiupu Song are rare among the voluminous classical poems in China, so they are extremely valuable.
"Compassion for Farmers" depicts the scene of working in the farmers' fields at noon in the scorching sun, and generally shows the farmers' hard-working life all year round. Finally, it expresses the poet's sincere sympathy for the farmers with the motto "Who knows that every meal is hard".
