旧谷未没新谷登,家家击壤含欢声。
惭愧今年雨水足,只鸡斗酒相逢迎。
豪家征敛纵狞隶,单巾大帕如蛮兵。
索钱沽酒不满欲,大者罗织小者惊。
谷有扬簸实亦簸,巨斛凸概谋其赢。
讵思一粒复一粒,尽是农人汗血成。
旧谷未没新谷登,家家击壤含欢声。
惭愧今年雨水足,只鸡斗酒相逢迎。
豪家征敛纵狞隶,单巾大帕如蛮兵。
索钱沽酒不满欲,大者罗织小者惊。
谷有扬簸实亦簸,巨斛凸概谋其赢。
讵思一粒复一粒,尽是农人汗血成。
旧谷尚未吃完,新谷又已登场,
家家户户敲击土壤,充满欢声笑语。
惭愧今年雨水充足,收成丰饶,
仅用一只鸡、一斗酒,互相迎接庆贺。
豪强之家征税,纵容凶恶的差役,
他们裹着单巾、披着大帕,如同蛮族士兵。
索要钱财买酒,仍不满足贪欲,
对大户罗织罪名,对小户则恐吓惊扰。
谷物经过扬簸,实粒与秕糠分离,
用巨大的斛斗凸出地刮平,图谋多取赢利。
何曾想过这一粒又一粒的粮食,
尽是农人用血汗辛苦耕种而成。
The old grain's not gone, the new grain's in store,
Every home beats the earth, joy's sounds they pour.
Ashamed we are, this year's rain was so kind,
With a chicken and wine, we welcome and bind.
The rich men's tax collectors, fierce and grim,
With turbans and scarves, like barbarians trim.
They demand money for wine, never content,
The great ones ensnare, the small ones lament.
The grain is winnowed, the chaff blown away,
With huge measures heaped, they scheme for their prey.
Do they think grain by grain, each single one,
Is formed by the sweat and blood farmers have done?
丰收周期强化了农民对土地的生存认同。
描绘旧谷未没、新谷已登的丰收景象,展现田家击壤欢歌的田园乐趣。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
