一、田禾丰

稻穗垂千陇，粱株挺万竿。

风翻金浪涌，露湿粒珠圆。

汗滋新穗重，镰响秋光欢。

仓满农家喜，翁婆笑满颜。

二、园果硕

丹柿悬枝杪，黄梨压树腰。

葡垂珠串串，榴裂籽颗颗。

香漫庭前绕，甜融齿畔飘。

摘盈青竹篮，归步自逍遥。

三、棚蔬鲜

青菘铺地绿，赤苋列畦红。

豇豆垂丝细，茄子紫绒融。

露濡葱叶翠，霜浸芥心浓。

掐鲜烹野趣，食罢意犹绵。

四、郊色浓

远峰笼薄雾，平野接长天。

雁唳声穿雾，虫吟语透烟。

枫叶燃如炬，芦花舞似棉。

闲吟秋色里，心与白云闲。

Four Odes to Autumn Fields

By Huanongnong (Shangguan)

Sept. 17, 2025, Beijing

I. Plentiful Crops in Fields

Ears of rice hang low o'er a thousand ridges,

Stalks of millet stand tall like ten thousand poles.

Wind stirs waves of gold that surge and roll,

Dew wets grains, each round as a pearl.

Sweat nurtures new ears, heavy and full,

Sickle's song mingles with autumn's joy.

Granaries fill, bringing farmers delight,

Elders' faces beam with smiles so bright.

II. Abundant Fruits in Orchards

Red persimmons dangle from branch tips,

Yellow pears weigh down tree waists.

Grapes hang in clusters, like strings of pearls,

Pomegranates split, revealing seeds in swirls.

Fragrance lingers around the courtyard,

Sweetness melts and drifts by the lips.

Baskets of bamboo brim with picked fruits,

Homeward steps go, carefree and mute.

III. Fresh Vegetables in Sheds

Green cabbages spread, painting the ground green,

Red amaranths line beds, glowing red.

Cowpeas hang like thin, drooping silk threads,

Eggplants shine, soft as purple velvet spread.

Dew wets onion leaves, making them green and fresh,

Frost soaks mustard hearts, enhancing their taste.

Pluck fresh ones to cook, savoring rural fun,

After the meal, the pleasant mood still lingers on.

IV. Rich Scenery in Suburbs

Distant peaks are veiled in thin mist,

Flat wilderness connects to the endless sky.

Wild geese cry, their calls piercing the fog,

Insects chirp, their voices through mist slog.

Maple leaves burn bright, like torches ablaze,

Reed catkins dance, like cotton in a haze.

Leisurely chanting in autumn's scenery,

My heart rests, as free as white clouds flying.
