Do these two poems tell us that the weather is hot?

The poem "mowing the grass at noon, sweat dripping down the soil" tells us that the weather is hot and just right. These two poems describe such a scene: at noon in midsummer, under the scorching sun, farmers are still working and sweat drips into the soil.

Original poem:

At noon in summer, the sun is very hot, farmers are still working, and beads are dripping into the soil.

Who would have thought that our bowl of rice and grain are full of the blood and sweat of farmers?

Translation:

At noon in midsummer, when the sun was shining, farmers were still working and sweat dripped into the soil. Who would have thought that every grain of rice in our bowl was bought by farmers' hard work?

Poetry appreciation

Compassion for Peasants mercilessly attacked the corruption and darkness of feudal rule by depicting and exposing all social strata at that time, and profoundly revealed sympathy and concern for the tragic fate of peasants. Although they didn't bring much benefit to the farmers at that time, and they couldn't change their fate, they played an important role in arousing the attention of later rulers and scholars.

In the long history of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties after Tang and Song Dynasties, a large number of poets such as Wang Mian, Dai Fugu, Zheng Banqiao, Song Xiang, Gong Zizhen and Zhu Zunyi emerged. They inherited and carried forward the realistic creation method of Benjamin's poems and wrote many remarkable poems.
