Farmer Fang Xia Yun, what do you mean, I dare to eat?

"Farmer Fang Xia Yun, I dare to eat when I sit down" means: How dare I sit down and eat when the farmer is working in this weather? This is a poem written by Dai Fugu, which is selected from The Great Fever. It describes hot weather.

The whole poem is: a big kiln in heaven and earth, cooking charcoal in June. Everything is this Tao Rong. Why do people complain about the heat? Look at the autumn colors of the hundred valleys, and they also bear fruit from summer. The water in the field boils like soup, and the sweat on my back splashes. Farmer Fang Xia Yun, sit down and I dare to eat!
