1. A night view of Beigu
Mid-Tang Dynasty·Dou Chang
After the awns were planted in the Water Kingdom, the plum weather was windy and cool.
Dew silkworms bloom in late clusters, and river swallows circle the dangerous rafters.
The toe of the mountain is solid from the north, and the head of the tide is long from the west.
Every year when I climb here to look out, people and things are almost destroyed.
Beigu, also known as Beigu Mountain, is located in the northeast of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. The terrain of the north peak is dangerous, so it is called "Beigu". One evening during the Mangzhong season in the south of the Yangtze River, the poet looked at Beigu Mountain from a distance and saw it lying across the river. It was majestic and the river and sky were open and continuous. It was the rainy season at that time, with cool rain and gentle breeze. Silkworms began to form clusters of white cocoons, and river swallows circled around the tall masts. This poem describes the rainy climate characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River during the Ear Grain season.
2. Poems about the Twenty-Four Qi. The May Festival of Mangzhong
Mid-Tang Dynasty·Yuanzhen
Looking at Mangzhong today, mantises should be in season.
The clouds are high and the shadows are reflected below, and the sound of birds coming and going is heard.
Lotus flowers bloom in Lumarsh, and the wind and rain are strong.
When we met and asked about Silkworms and Mai, we were fortunate to receive a favor.
There are three phases of the awn seeds: "The first phase is when the mantis grows; the second phase is when the roc begins to sing; the third phase is when the tongue is silent." Yuan Zhen mentioned the first two periods in this poem.
At this time, the little mantis emerges from its shell and the shrike begins to sing on the branches. The humid warm wind makes people feel depressed, and the timely light rain will bring a bit of coolness. At this time, when the field husbands met, they were most concerned about the harvest of silkworms and wheat. Fortunately, they were quite satisfactory.
3. Among the twenty-one plowing pictures, eight of them are pulling out seedlings
Southern Song Dynasty·Lou_
The new seedlings have just come out of the water, and the green carpet is everywhere.
Early in the morning, father and son compete for promotion.
Now that the hands are full of green, there is no mud at the roots.
When the awns are planted in time, things are scattered in the border.
In the misty and rainy Jiangnan season, there is abundant rain, which is an important time to plant rice seedlings. This poem vividly depicts the complete operation process of pulling out seedlings before transplanting. The new seedlings have just grown out of the water, neatly green like a carpet. The father and son pulled up the seedlings early in the morning. First hold the seedlings with your hands and then wash the soil from the roots. The seedlings are planted in the fields on the east and west sides. Time waits for no one, so we must take advantage of the awn season to plant them in time.

Song Dynasty·Lu You
Shiyu and awn seeds are planted in all fields.
Every family has delicious wheat and rice, and every place has beautiful songs.
When I am old, I become a lazy farmer, spending all my time living on my bamboo bed.
My hair is short and unruly, and I love the coolness of the rain.
The garden trees gather strange sounds, and the vines emit a delicate fragrance.
The warbler's clothes are still wet, so he advises me to hold a cup.
Fortunately, nothing happens now, and the sea is full of mulberry trees.
The old man in the wild is endless, and he sings about the Yu and Tang Dynasties.
This poem is another scene of the solar term of Ear Grain. Although there is also timely rain, it shows a picture of farmhouse fun in the countryside planting rice seedlings, harvesting wheat, and picking water chestnuts. The rich aroma of wheat rice and the touching music of Cai Ling are intoxicating. For the elderly poet, sleeping on a bamboo bed is refreshing and comfortable in the hot summer. Looking at the trees with green onions, listening to the chirping of birds and cicadas, smelling the fragrance of vines and flowers, and playing the game of soil-breaking, I am really living in a peaceful and prosperous age.

After the rain, the dry magpies report the new sunshine. The morning breeze is clear. Listen to the warblers. Flying over the South Garden, enjoying the leisure time.
There are thousands of hectares of wheat ridges covered with yellow clouds, and there are people plowing the fields where they are harvested.
Gong_Shuyu Jianquan Ming. The green peaks are horizontal. Bi Yun Ning. It is difficult to paint a garden in plain form.
The tangerines and bayberries are ripe at this time. You can enjoy them everywhere and drink Banjing.
After the rain, the sky is clear, the clouds are clear and the wind is gentle, and the magpies and orioles are chirping. Not long ago, there were rippling blue wheat fields. In the blink of an eye, they were now covered with golden fields, and the fields were full of busy wheat harvesting. When the awns are planted, the temperature rises and the wheat in the north turns yellow and matures, which is the harvest season. In the south, the tangerines and bayberries are ripe and it’s the right time to eat them.
