Original text: The sound of afternoon chickens in the deep alleys of willow flowers, and the new green of mulberry leaves is not completed. There is nothing to do when you sit and sleep, and you can watch the silkworms on a sunny day with a full window.

About the author: Yao He, born in 777 A.D. and died in 843 A.D., was a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. A native of Shaanzhou (now Shaanxian County, Henan), he was the great-nephew of Prime Minister Yao Chong.

Yao He is good at the five laws, is good at secluded and clear cliffs, and is good at copying natural scenery and depressed official conditions, and sometimes has good sentences. However, the style and subject matter are more monotonous, and the depiction of scenery is more trivial. His poems have a certain influence on later generations, and have been taught by the poets of the Southern Song Dynasty "Yongjia Four Spirits" and the Jianghu Poetry School.

Appreciation of works: Listening to the roosters, watching the new silkworms eat mulberries and growing, how pleasant it should be to wake up on a spring afternoon! Pastoral life is the foundation of China's farming culture and the spiritual destination of many literati and artists. Feeling this tranquility and reading this Yaxing is a luxury, but also a pleasure!
