Compassion for the Farmers (Part 2)

Li Shen of the Tang Dynasty

It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. .

Who knows that every meal on the plate is hard work.

April in the countryside

Southern Song Dynasty·Wengjuan

The mountains are green and the rivers are white, and the rain is like smoke amid the sound of the rules.

In April in the countryside, there are few idle people, so they are planting sericulture and planting fields.

Wang Qing from the farmhouse

Yong Yuzhi of the Tang Dynasty

I heard the west wind and rain in Qin, and I asked whether the west wind would return sooner or later.

The white-haired old farmer stands like a crane, looking at the clouds from the heights of the wheat field.
