farmer, Chen shi dao 田家 陳師道

the time that the rooster crows men should go outside

the time that the dog barks men should return home

when the autumn comes events are so urgent

that cannot wait to go at the regular time

last night the rain accumulated until one meter high

a lot of mud already under the kitchen

it is said that farmers are joyful

their bitterness should be known

雞鳴人當行，犬鳴人當歸。

秋來公事急，出處不待時。

昨夜三尺雨，竈下已生泥。

人言田家樂，爾苦人得知。
