在大朴的许多作品中，我们已经了解并学习了许多青海地区的人文风俗，而在这张里，大朴描绘的是青海春天时分，农民牵着牛和马耕作的景象。初春时期，雪山还没融化，农民已经迫不及待牵着牛马出来耕作。山坡上的草地刚刚长出嫩绿的新草，好一派大地回春的景象，表现了大自然充满生机活力，充满希望的情景，同时，也表达了画家对美好生活的赞扬和向往之情。
We had seen several of Dapu's paintings of farming scenes from Xinjiang and Tibet, and we wanted to own one. Although China always likes to show its modern side to the rest of the world, we have seen the real China in our travels. For example, it is quite common to see a farmer walking his cow down the road, and it is common to see farmers plowing fields with antique farm equipment. Moreover, with much mountainous terrain, in China, farming is done in the most unlikely places, like terraced hillsides with rice paddies and irrigation streaming down from a mountain spring.

We particularly loved this painting for its truth and the common scene of simple life that it shows. The impasto painting of the tilled earth enhances its sense of realism.
