One (Tang Dynasty: Li Shen).
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.
Secondly (Tang Dynasty: Li Shen).
At noon in summer, the sun is very hot, farmers are still working, and beads are dripping into the soil. Who would have thought that our bowl of rice and grain are full of the blood and sweat of farmers?
Explanation:
First, as long as you sow a seed in spring, you can harvest a lot of food in autumn. In all parts of the world, no field is uncultivated and uncultivated, and hard-working farmers will still starve to death.
Second: at noon in midsummer, the sun is like fire, farmers are still working, and sweat drips into the soil. Who would have thought that the rice in our bowl was full of the blood and sweat of farmers?
According to Fan Gang's Yunxi Friendship in the Tang Dynasty and Lu Shu's Biography of Wei in the old Tang Dynasty, it can be roughly inferred that this group of poems was written by Shen Li in the fifteenth year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong (799).
When he was six years old, he lost his father, and his mother Lu took him to Wuxi and Runzhou (now Jiangsu), where his mother taught him. At the age of 27, he was admitted to middle school and became a teaching assistant. He became close friends with Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi. The most brilliant part of his life is poetry. He is a participant in the new Yuefu movement, which has great influence in the history of literature.
He wrote 20 new poems about Yuefu, which have been lost. There are two poems about "compassion for farmers": weeding at noon, sweating all over the soil, but every grain is hard. It is well known to all women and children, and it has been told through the ages. The Complete Tang Poetry contains four volumes of Tang poetry.
Those rich people's sumptuous meals are just the sweat of farmers working hard in the wind and rain and under the scorching sun! This sharp contrast shows us the poet's sympathy for the peasants and his dissatisfaction with the unequal reality.
