The author has poured his rich accumulation of farming culture and his deep feelings for farming, rural areas, agriculture, and farmers into this prose work. Those farming forms that are about to disappear or have already disappeared are preserved in each short article, such as treading waterwheels, pushing aconite, retting mud from grass ponds, beating flails, spending summer... It is full of fun and fascinating. The book also introduces a large number of agricultural solar terms, farm dishes, and rural trades that are closely related to rural life, with a strong local flavor.
