It has been divided into years of hunger and disability, and it is even more comparable to the leap in the year.
Compassion for Farmers was written by Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty.
Because of the severe drought, rice fields were not ripe, and buckwheat was not harvested because the frost came too early. Farmers have long expected that they will go hungry this year, but they have just caught up with this year for a month, and the days of starvation are even longer.
This poem reveals the tragic experience of farmers. The first sentence of the poem says that rice failed to harvest due to drought, and the second sentence says that buckwheat failed to harvest due to frost. After a year of hard work and successive disasters, it is conceivable that the mood is miserable. Three sentences are a pause, saying that they are psychologically prepared to endure the famine for many years, and four sentences are another turning point. The leap month makes time more and more difficult. First, they say that they are prepared to endure, and then they can't bear it, describing the sufferings and helplessness of farmers to the extreme.
This poem is advanced step by step in a layered way, revealing the sufferings of farmers. The author's feelings of compassion and sympathy are soaked between the lines, making the work bloody and touching the readers' heartstrings.
