农民

• 拼音: nóng mín
• 汉字拆解: 农 = simplified from a character showing hands working the field; 民 = pictograph originally depicting common people

含义

Farmer; peasant. A person who works in agriculture.

The standard term for people whose livelihood comes from farming. In China, 农民 also has a social-class dimension, as the rural-urban divide (户口 system) historically separated farmers from city dwellers. Used neutrally in most contexts, though it can carry condescending overtones if used to mock someone's background.

例句

1. 我爷爷是农民，种了一辈子地。
2. 农民们秋天忙着收粮食。
3. 政府出台了很多帮助农民的政策。
