Sixty Poems of Various Fields and Gardens in All Four Seasons: No. 44

四 时 田 园 杂 兴 六 十 首 并 引

新 筑 场 泥 镜 面 平
家 家 打 稻 趁 霜 晴。
笑 歌 声 里 轻 雷 动
一 夜 连 枷 响 到 明。

(44) Si Shi Tian Yuan Za Xing Liu Shi Shou Bing Yin

Xin zhu chang ni jing mian ping
Jia jia da dao chen shuang qing.
Xiao ge sheng li qing lei dong
Yi ye lian jia xiang dao ming.

Sixty Poems of Various Fields and Gardens in All Four Seasons: No. 44

Newly constructed threshing ground calm with a mirrored surface
Every household takes advantage of rice paddies when it is clear and frosty.
Happy songs and sounds as they softly pull up the rice
Working through the night, the echoes continue on and on.
