《再经胡城县》是唐代诗人杜荀鹤创作的一首揭露黑暗统治的政治讽刺诗。此诗记述了作者两度经过胡城县的见闻及感慨，讽刺了封建统者残民以逞的本质，揭露了封建社会制度的黑暗腐朽，指出了封建社会是非颠倒的现实，同时，从中也表现了人民的痛苦和愤怒。 《再经胡城县》 杜荀鹤 去岁曾经此县城，县民无口不冤声。 今来县宰加朱绂，便是生灵血染成。 County Again Du Xunhe Last year when I passed through this county seat, Everyone was making some or other complaint. Now the magistrate has a vermillion official costume, Which no doubt has been dyed in the people’s lifehood.

《蚕妇》，是晚唐诗人杜荀鹤所写的一首七言绝句，表达了诗人对晚唐封建社会不平等的忧愤。 《蚕妇》 杜荀鹤 粉色全无饥色加，岂知人世有荣华。 年年道我蚕辛苦，底事浑身着苎麻。 A Woman Silkworm-Raiser Du Xunhe My face has no colour, only signs of hunger; Wealth and good fortune are strangers to me. People constantly praise me for toiling over silkworms, But why for my clothing do I have only coarse ramie?
