田家 范成大

田家       范成大 (1126-1193)

晝出耘田夜績麻， 村莊兒女各當家；

童孫未解供耕織， 也傍桑陰學種瓜。

A farming household       Fan Chengdai (1126-1193)

At daybreak in their fields they toil,

In the evening in flax plaiting they still travail,
For every man and woman of the household each has to oneself duties to owe,
For those too young to till the fields or about plaiting nothing they know,
Will learn growing melons under the mulberries in the shadows.
