Viewing the Cutting of Wheat

Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty

The Tian family has few free months, but in May people are twice as busy.

The south wind blows at night, and the wheat is covered with yellow.

Women carry baskets of food, and children carry pots of pulp.

Going with me to the salary field, the young man is in Nangang.

My feet are full of rustic heat, and my back is scorching with the scorching sky.

I am exhausted and don’t know how hot it is, but it’s a pity that the summer is long.

There is also a poor woman with a baby beside her.

The right hand holds the earrings, and the left arm hangs a basket.

Hearing his words of care makes those who hear them feel sad.

My family’s farmland has been exhausted and taxes have been spent, so I will pick this up to satisfy my hunger.

What merit do I have now? I have never been involved in farming and mulberry trees.

The official salary is three hundred stones, and there is more than enough food every year.

I feel ashamed when I think of this, and I will never forget it.
