Tian Zi's ancient poems.

Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan, so there is no lotus leaf. Fish are frolicking among the lotus leaves.

Fish hits the lotus leaf east, fish hits the lotus leaf west, fish hits the lotus leaf south, and fish hits the lotus leaf north.

Translation:

Lotus can be picked on the water in the south of the Yangtze River, with lush lotus leaves and fish playing in them.

Fish plays lotus leaf east, fish plays lotus leaf west, fish plays lotus leaf south and fish plays lotus leaf north.

2. "Farmer" Li Shen

In spring, as long as you sow a seed, you can harvest a lot of food in autumn. There is no waste of heaven and earth, and the toiling peasants are still starving to death.

Translation:

Sow a seed in spring and you can harvest a lot of food in autumn.

There is not a piece of land that is not cultivated, but farmers still starve to death.

3. Returning to the Garden Tao Yuanming

Few people do as the Romans do. Their nature is to love nature. I sneaked into the official career network and have been away from the game for more than ten years.

Birds in cages are often attached to the forests of the past, and fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past. I want to open up wasteland in Minamino and keep my humility to the fields.

Translation:

When I was young, I didn't follow the custom. It is my nature to love nature. I fell into the trap of official career and left the countryside for more than ten years in a blink of an eye.

Birds in cages often miss the mountains of the past, while fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past. I would like to reclaim wasteland in the southern wilderness, keep my simplicity and return to farming.

4. Meng Haoran in Passing the Old Village

This old friend prepared a delicious meal and invited me to his hospitable farm. Green Woods surround the village and green hills are located outside the city.

Open the window facing the valley vegetable garden and pass the glass to talk about crops. Please come here to see chrysanthemums when the ninth festival comes.

Translation:

My old friend prepared a sumptuous meal and invited me to his hospitable farmhouse. Green Woods surround the village and green mountains span the city. Open the window to the grain field and vegetable garden and raise a glass to talk about crops. The Double Ninth Festival is here. Please come here to see chrysanthemums.

5. Bai Juyi's "Looking at Wheat Cutting"

The Tian family has less leisure in the month, and people are twice as busy in May. In the evening, the south wind rises and the wheat turns yellow.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, accompanied by pot pulp, went with the battlefield, and Ding Zhuang was in Nangang.

Translation:

Farmers seldom have free months. When May comes, people are busier. At night, the south wind blew, and the wheat covered on the ridge was ripe and yellow.

Women carry vegetables in bamboo baskets, children carry water in pots, and follow each other to deliver meals in the fields. The men who collect wheat are all in Nangang.
