Hello大家好，今天给大家读一首古诗。This is a really famous poetry in China. When we just started our school, this was the first poetry we need to learn.
锄禾日当午，汗滴禾下土。chú hé rì dāng wǔ, hàn dī hé xià tǔ
谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦。shuí zhī pán zhōng cān, lì lì jiē xīn kǔ.

Mordern Chinese meaning:
农民在正午烈日的暴晒下锄禾，汗水从身上滴在禾苗生长的土地上。又有谁知道盘中的饭食，每颗每粒都是农民用辛勤的劳动换来的呢？这首诗是要告诉我们要珍惜自己的食物，不要浪费粮食。Follow me on Youtube: nihaochinesenet
