Guan Tianjia Tang Wei Yingwu
It rained lightly and all the flowers were new, and a thunder startled the insects.
The Tian family had a few days of leisure, and farming began.
The young and strong are all in the wild, and the fields and gardens are also in order.
Jing Changyan came back and drank water from Duxi Jian.
Hunger does not cause pain, but nourishment brings joy.
There is no storage in the warehouse, and the corvee is still there.
Those who are ashamed and do not cultivate will be rewarded with food and money.
The poem "Guantianjia" deeply reveals the heavy taxes, corvee labor and the unreasonable social system at that time through a detailed description of the farmers who worked hard all year round and had no food and clothing. Since the day of the Waking of Insects, farmers have had no "free days" and have been busy with farm work all day and night. As a result, their families have no overnight food and their labor is endless. I felt deeply ashamed when I remembered that I was not engaged in farming, but Feng Lu came from the countryside. It is indeed rare for a feudal official to be able to blame himself like this. This kind of thoughts and feelings are the same as those of Du Fu and others before. This is a feature of the pastoral poetry of the Tang Dynasty and a fine tradition of Chinese classical poetry.
