Listen to this article《郊行》是宋代文学家王安石在至和年间(1054-1056)所创作的一首讽刺诗。全诗通过描写蚕农勤劳辛苦还闹饥荒的现实，暗示苛捐杂税猛于虎，讽刺统治者民不聊生。
《郊行》 王安石
柔桑采尽绿阴稀，芦箔蚕成密茧肥。
聊向村家问风俗：如何勤苦尚凶饥？
Walking in the Countryside
Wang Anshi
Tender mulberry leaves picked so clean green shade is sparse;
On reed beds silkworms grow into corpulent cocoons.
Casually I ask the villagers of local ways,
And why after all their hard labour they still go hungry.
