1. Ancient Poems

(1) "Two Poems of Compassion for the Farmers" by Li Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

First one

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.

Second

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?

(2) "Sustaining at the House of Xun Ni under the Five Pine Mountains" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty

I stayed under the five pine trees, feeling lonely and joyless.

The autumn work in the Tian family is bitter, and the neighbor's daughter is cold at night.

Kneel down and eat the carved rice, the moonlight shining on the plain plate.

It’s so shameful that I can’t eat even if I thank you three times.
