Agricultural proverbs are concise, catchy and profound proverbs left over from the agricultural civilization. Many of them have been proved to be used to guide agricultural production practice after repeated practice. They are the summary of the agricultural production experience of ordinary people and the crystallization of people's collective wisdom. Agricultural proverbs are also the language carrier of silkworm culture, ecological culture and traditional culture. A large number of agricultural proverbs in Foshan Sangyuanwei, have been passed down from mouth to mouth among the people and become symbols of Lingnan farming culture. The essence of Lingnan culture is contained in the simple words and abundant words.
