1. Catch one more moth in spring, and harvest one more basket of grain in autumn.

2. There are no two mornings in a day, and time will never come again.

3. When the wheat rises on the vernal equinox, a moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

4. Spring is better than a manure pile, and autumn is better than a grain pile.

5. Cut the weeds without eradicating the roots, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.

6. One inch of spring plowing can cover one manure.

7. No work is done in the third month of spring, and the north wind blows in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

8. Hoe more often in the spring and hoe more often in the autumn.

9. No pain, no gain.

10. I would rather give up an ingot of gold than a year of spring.

11. A poor spring plowing will harm a spring, and a poor education will harm a lifetime.
