Poems about "farming":
1. Tang Dynasty: Li Shen's "Two Poems of Compassion for Farmers"
Sow one grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand grains in autumn.
There is no idle land in the world, and farmers are still starving to death.
It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil.
Who knew that every meal on the plate is hard work?
Explanation: As long as you sow a seed in spring, you can harvest a lot of food in autumn. There is no uncultivated land in the world, and hardworking farmers will still starve to death. At noon in midsummer, the sun is scorching, and farmers are still working, sweat dripping into the soil. Who would have thought that every grain of rice in our bowls contains the blood and sweat of farmers?
2. Tang Dynasty: Zhang Bi's "Farmer's Father"
The hoeing and plowing forces invade the stars, and the long acres are filled with joy.
In the end, the grain and millet belong to someone else, and I don’t know where to leave my wife.
Interpretation: Every day before the stars fall (we work under the stars and the moon), we go to the fields to work hard. When the harvest is in sight, the whole family is so happy! In the end, all the proceeds from the harvest will be exploited by the officials. I can't live at home, and I don't know if I will sell my wife and children one day!
3. Tang Dynasty: Zhang Ji "Old Songs from the Wild Country/Mountain Farmers' Poems"
The poor old farmer lived in the mountains and cultivated three or four acres of mountain fields.
The seedlings were so sparse and taxed that they could not be eaten, so they were imported into official warehouses and turned into soil.
At the end of the year, I am hoeing and plowing in the empty house, and I am calling my children to climb the mountain to collect acorns.
In Xijiang Jiake, there are hundreds of dendrobium trees. The dogs raised in the boat grow to eat meat.
Interpretation: The old man's family lives in the mountains in poverty and makes a living by cultivating three or four acres of mountain land. The land is small, the taxes are high, and there is no food. The grain was sent to government warehouses, where it eventually rotted and turned into soil. At the end of the year, only the hoe and rake were left in the empty house, so he had to ask his son to go up the mountain to collect acorns to satisfy his hunger. On the ships of wealthy merchants from the west of the Yangtze River, hundreds of jewels were measured in dendrobium, and even the dogs kept on the ships ate meat all year round.
4. Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli's "Compassion for the Peasants"
The rice clouds don't rain much and don't turn yellow, and the buckwheat flowers are empty and early to frost.
I have endured hunger for the rest of my life, and it is even more worthy of the extra years.
Explanation: There are not many mature rice fields due to severe drought, and the buckwheat harvest has been lost because of the early frost. The farmers had long expected that they would live with hunger this year, but it happened to be a leap month this year, and the days of hunger were even longer.
5. Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin "Ren Hongnong Wei Xianzhou Governor begging for leave to return to the capital"
The prisoners were sealed at dusk, and they were ashamed to sit in the corner of Jingshan Mountain.
But I envy Bian He and cut off his feet. He will never lose his rank in his life.
Interpretation: At dusk, I dispersed the seals of the government office and counted the prisoners in custody. I feel ashamed that I have failed you. Jingshan is reflected in the corner of my seat again. At this time, I was envious of Bian He. He had his feet cut off so that he would not have to walk in front of the steps in humiliation for the rest of his life.
6. Tang Dynasty: Qiu Wei "For Farmers"
When will the east wind come? Already green lake up the mountain.
Spring is early on the lake, and Tian’s family has a busy day.
Where the ditches and rivers flow, there is grass and flat grass.
After having dinner in the evening, I went into seclusion after returning.
Interpretation: When does the spring breeze arrive? The peaks above the lake have turned green. Since spring has arrived early on the lake, the people farming have been busy all day long. Farmers worked in the fields with grass, building ditches, diverting water, eradicating weeds and plowing without stopping. In the evening, after the farmer fed the cattle, he returned home, closed the door and went to sleep.
