早禾饱熟收山场,晚禾硕茂青吐芒。
五风十雨作丰岁,一饱何以酬苍苍。
牛遭疠疫大半死,挽犁岂夸人力强。
妻儿翁媪共耕凿,勤劳有此一稔偿。
人言谷贱三农伤,我喜不乏三军粮。
邉骑长驱自送死,卒致一怒烦君王。
将军输忠士贾勇,献俘献捷来相望。
忍令战士有饥色,努力收敛输太仓。
勿言无以饱妻子,湏知饿死胜兵死。

早稻饱满成熟,从山间田地收割,
晚稻硕大茂盛,青绿的稻穗吐露锋芒。
风调雨顺造就了丰年,
一顿饱饭如何能报答苍天的恩情?
牛群遭遇瘟疫,大半都已死去,
哪里还能夸耀人力拉犁的强壮?
妻子儿女、老翁老妇一同耕种劳作,
辛勤付出才换来这一次收成的补偿。
人们说粮价低贱会伤害农民,
我却欣喜军队的粮食不会缺乏。
边境敌骑长驱直入,不过是自寻死路,
最终只会触怒君王。
将军奉献忠诚,士兵鼓起勇气,
呈献俘虏和捷报接连不断。
怎能忍心让战士们面带饥色?
努力收聚粮食,输送到国家粮仓。
不要说什幺无法让妻儿吃饱,
必须知道,饿死总比战死要好。
Early rice ripens full, harvested from mountain fields,
Late rice grows lush and strong, green spikes their promise yield.
With winds and rains so timely, a bounteous year is made,
How can one full belly the vast heavens' grace repay?
Oxen fall to plague, the greater part now dead,
Who boasts of human strength to pull the plough instead?
Wife and children, old folks, together till and sow,
This single harvest's gain rewards their ceaseless toil's flow.
Some say cheap grain harms farmers, their livelihood undone,
I rejoice our armies' rations will not lack, not one.
Border riders charge ahead, to their own doom they speed,
Provoking at last the sovereign's righteous wrath and need.
Generals pledge their loyalty, soldiers their courage sell,
Captives and victories presented, a constant tale to tell.
How can we bear to see our warriors hunger-pale?
Strive to gather and store, to the state granary sail.
Speak not of failing to fill your family's need,
Know this: death by starvation beats death by battle's deed.
丰饶景象强化了社会对农耕的集体认同。
描绘丰收年景,表达对田园丰饶的喜悦与赞美。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
