Song Dynasty: Weng Juan

The mountains and plains are all green, and the sound of Zigui is raining like smoke.

In April, there were few idle people in the countryside, and sericulture was planted in the fields.

The fields on the hillside are lush with vegetation, and the water color in the rice fields reflects the skylight. The sky is misty and rainy, cuckoos are crying, and the earth is thriving. April has arrived, and no one is idle. Just after sericulture, it is necessary to transplant rice seedlings again.

2. Return to the pastoral home (Author: Tao Yuanming)

I planted beans at the foot of Nanshan, and the weeds in the field were covered with peas.

Get up early in the morning to get rid of weeds, and come back with hoes in the moonlight at night.

The narrow path covered with vegetation, the night dew wet my clothes.

It's not a pity to get wet, but I hope it won't be against my will.

Interpretation: There is a bean field I planted at the foot of the southern hillside. The bean seedlings are overgrown with weeds and grow very sparsely. Mow the grass and loosen the soil in the morning, and go home to rest with a hoe at night. The narrow path was overgrown with vegetation, and the dew wet my clothes. What's a pity that clothes are wet? As long as my wish is still there, fun will always exist.

3. Silkworm wife

Song dynasty: Zhang Yu

I went to town yesterday and came back with tears in my eyes.

Those who wear Luo Qi are not silkworm farmers.

A woman who lives in the country and raises silkworms for a living went to the market in town yesterday to sell silk. When she came back, she was in tears and the towel was soaked with sad tears. Because she saw in the market that people wearing beautiful silk clothes were not silkworm farmers who worked as hard as her.
