This one depicts farmers harvesting crops. A man in a horse driven cart and his servants are passing by. Accompanied poem "Watching the Reapers" (AD 806); "Tillers of the soil have few idle months. In the fifth month their toil is double-fold. A south-wind visits the fields at night. Suddenly the hill is covered with yellow corn. Wives and daughters shoulder baskets of rice. Youths and boys carry the flasks of wine. Following after they bring a wage of meat. To the strong reapers toiling on the southern hill... A poor woman follows at the reaper's side with an infant child carried close at her breast. With her right hand she gleans the fallen grain, on her left arm a broken basket hangs. And I today... by virtue of what right have I never once tended field or tree? My government pay is three hundred tons. At the year's end I have still grain in hand. Thinking of this, secretly I grew ashamed. And all day the thought lingered in my head.".
