Poems related to Xiaoman

Song Dynasty - Ouyang Xiu's "Five-Character Verse - Xiaoman"

Nightingales sing in the green willows, and the bright moon awakens the sky.

My favorite is the wheat on the ridges, its red petals falling in the wind.

Ouyang Xiu, Song Dynasty: "Returning to the Countryside, Enjoying the Four Seasons, Spring and Summer (Part 2)"

The wheat ears are just beginning to grow and the young ones are tender, while the mulberry leaves are growing thick and the silkworms are full.

The old man is only happy about the good harvest, but how can he know when is the right season to give food to his wife?

The wild pear trees are densely covered with singing orioles, and the sea pomegranates are red with chirping mountain birds.

Who knows the joy of the farmer? I am the only one who knows that it will not be early for him to return home.

I pray that my body will remain strong while I still have, for I have wasted my time and have become old.

Song Dynasty: Wang Zhidao's "Expressing Feelings"

Walking with the children, leaning on the railing by the pond. The long overcast east rainbow is gone, the north wind is cold in the Grain Full season.

There are three lotuses dotting the water, and several bamboos leaning against the wall. What's so good about the sudden clear weather? The distant mountains are gathering in the clouds.

Song Dynasty: Zhao Fan's "Forty-two Quatrains from Taochuan to Chenzhou"

There has been much rain in the spring, so we should be frugal. This year we should be as cautious as last year.

The Jade Calendar tells me that the Grain Full Moon has arrived, but I am also worried that the long period of cloudy weather will hamper the silkworms’ sleep.

Song Dynasty: Weng Juan "Moon over the Countryside"

The mountains are green and the rivers are white; the rain sounds like smoke in the cuckoo's calls.

There are few idle people in the countryside in April. After finishing sericulture, they start planting in the fields.

Song Dynasty - Gong Feng "Morning Journey"

It is tiring to watch the crowds moving quietly, and I am not the only one who is in a hurry to eat. The cock has not yet crowed, but the sky is already dawning. The frogs have just stopped croaking, and the rain is coming again.

The weather is mild and there is no heat. There is thunder before the Grain Full. Wine is cheap and tea is fresh and ripe. Why not take advantage of the mood and linger a while?

Seven-character Poem: Xiaoman

The Grain Full season is mild and summery, and the wheat kernels are full but light.

Applying manure to rice fields will encourage weeds to grow, and shearing sheep's wool will protect against cold winds.

Harvest rapeseed pods and control aphids and wheat stalk flies.

Check, repair and prepare the combined machinery until the busy farming season ends.
