Every day, no one crosses the fence, only dragonflies and butterflies are flying. Why is it so quiet in the village?

Because of the busy farming in early summer, farmers leave early and return late, so they rarely see pedestrians during the day. Use "only dragonflies and butterflies are flying" to set off the silence in the village. There is movement in the silence, which makes it even more silent.

From the Song Dynasty Fan Chengda's "Four Seasons Pastoral Miscellaneous Twenty-five", the whole poem:

Plum golden apricot fat, wheat white, cauliflower thin.

No one has ever crossed the fence, but dragonflies and butterflies can fly

Translation:

In early summer, golden plums hang all over the branches, apricots become bright and full, white flowers bloom in the ears of wheat in the field, and almost all rape flowers are falling and bearing seeds. The days are getting longer and longer. Everyone is busy in the fields. No one passes the fence, only dragonflies and butterflies fly around the fence.

Appreciate:

This poem is about the rural scenery of Jiangnan in early summer. In the poem, plums are yellow, apricots are fat, wheat is white, and cauliflower is sparse, which describes the characteristics of rural scenery in the south in summer, with rich flowers and fruits and tangible colors. The third sentence of the poem describes the situation of farmers' labor from the side: in early summer, farmers are busy with farming, so they go out early and return late, so they rarely see pedestrians during the day.
