1. "Viewing a Field House"

Author: Wei Yingwu, Tang?

The slightest rain brings new flowers, and a thunderstorm begins the hibernation.

There are a few days of idleness in the field house, and from then on the plowing begins.

All the men and women are in the field, and the garden is in order.

It's been a long time since I've been back, and I've been drinking from the west stream.

The price of hunger is not too high, but the price of food is too high.

There is no need for the labor force to be forced to do anything.

The people who don't plow their fields are ashamed of themselves, and their food comes out of the village.

Translation:

After the spring rains, all the flowers look new. With a spring thunder, all the animals hibernating in the soil are awakened.

Farmers didn't have a few leisurely days before spring plowing began. Since the day of the hibernation, they have to get up early all day long and busy themselves with farm work.

The able-bodied young men went to work in the fields, and the women and children who stayed at home tidied up the vegetable gardens in front of their homes and prepared them for planting.

They were so busy every day that when they returned home, late in the day, they had to take the ox to the stream and ditch on the west side of the village so that it could drink.

They were tired and hungry, but they did not feel any pain themselves, and they were glad to see the seedlings moisturized by the rain.

But even though they were busy all day long, there was no food in the house overnight, and the labor was endless.

Looking at these things, I remembered that I do not engage in farming, but I receive my blessings from the village, and I was y ashamed.
