Take advantage of (fú) and (yǐ), take advantage of everything. Pick slugs, fine print.
Pick slugs and make a short comment (Du is not). Pick slugs and let them slip (Lu is not).
Pick slugs and talk about them (Jie). Pick and choose, thin words (xié).
Translation:
Before picking up the car, on the side of the road. Before picking a car, pick it by hand.
Before picking a car, pick it up on the ground. Before lifting the car, it was smoothed a lot.
The clothes are full before the car is picked out. Before picking a car, skirt pocket.
Note: Short songs of women's labor when picking plantain seeds.
Grupo, now called Banana, is called "Car Alley" in my hometown. Its young leaves are edible, and the whole grass and seeds can be used as medicine. In rural areas, businessmen often collect this herb. When I was a child, I came home from school, carried a basket on my back and looked for it on the ridge or hillside. I uprooted it and dried it, so I can sell it to merchants to earn pocket money.
This poem has a cheerful rhythm, and you can feel the carefree and cheerful mood of the banana picking woman. A picture in my memory gradually became clear: the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing gently, and a group of women were working hard on the tea mountain with baskets on their backs. They are quick-handed and keep putting the picked tea leaves into the sieve. You are all smiles. I think the woman who picked bananas at that time was also like this. Peace of mind, carefree and happy!
It's a pity that I have never seen the same scene again. Chashan seems to have been abandoned gradually since its contractor lost news in those years. No one picks tea, and the tea trees all over the mountain are neat, but no one cares anymore. When I came home last year, I happened to find that the tea trees on several hills were dug up, or used as firewood, or abandoned on the hillside. The tea trees on other hillsides were overgrown with weeds because they were unattended. Although the new tea is still not picked, no one cares. Now people in the village can't drink their own Maojian tea, which was excellent in those days.

Nanshan tree is so big and tall that you can't enjoy the cool under it. There are women on the Han River who want to pursue the impossible. The Hanshui River is so vast that it is impossible to cross it. The river is so long that it is impossible to take a raft.
If you miss your salary, you can make it clear. Talking about horses by your son. The Hanshui River is so vast that it is impossible to cross it. The river is so long that it is impossible to take a raft.
Skip the wrong salary and say (lóu). The girl is getting married, so feed the foal quickly. The Hanshui River is so vast that it is impossible to cross it. The river is so long that it is impossible to take a raft.
Translation:
Trees in the south are tall and big, so it is difficult to cut trees without rest. There are goddess-like women in the Han River, and they can't walk all the way. Rivers are difficult to swim widely, but long rafts are difficult to cross.
The wrong salary is unattainable, whether it's chopping wood or cutting thorns. If that person marries a good family, I will feed her horses. Hehan is too wide and too long to cross or swim.
The branches of the tree are at the top, so it's better to cut wood or choose a lower place. If this man marries a king, he will only take his horse. The Han river is as wide as the milky way, and there is no such thing as a sigh!
Note: the author yearns for a woman but can't get it, and is willing to help her when she gets married.
Seeing the first sentence reminds me of a TV series "There are Trees in the South". Is the author moved by the love in this poem or inspired by it?
The woodcutter fell in love with a woman, who was unattainable and far away from him. Perhaps it is the difference in status, not class, that hinders them. But the woodcutter did not ignore it, but turned his deep admiration into a blessing. When a woman is happy, she is satisfied.
Don't think, don't think, don't swim and don't think. The woodcutter restrained his inner admiration for the "Southern Tree" and his love for distant women. He knew that the water in that river was wide and long, and the distance between him and that woman was like the Milky Way. He knows that swimming or crossing it with boats and rafts is a pointless adventure.
In my opinion, this is not cowardice. Deep love doesn't have to be possessed, let alone unrequited love. It is excellent that he can face it in a leisurely manner without going to extremes. There is a kind of love, silently guarding and silently blessing. If you persist in this way, it will bring pain to yourself and your loved ones. If you are too obsessed with possession, you will lose the initial heart of love. This kind of love may deteriorate, and it is mixed with more greed.
Of course, there is another ending: standing side by side. Meet people far away, work hard secretly, get close to her step by step, and stand side by side with her. This is an inspirational life that many people are looking forward to. This is also the love that many people want to pursue now-you are excellent, and I am not bad, but you have a heart in mind but don't interfere with each other. Let's work together to make each other better. The latter may be more attractive, but in fact it is always a minority.
In fact, it is not bad to learn from this woodcutter's attitude towards life, put beauty in his imagination and send sincere wishes. It's not bad to live a good life in a down-to-earth way.
