Emphasize that life needs perseverance.
In this poem, Wang Zhihuan describes an old man chopping wood. Although his skills are not as good as before, he still works tirelessly. Through the image of the old man, the poet not only reveals the perseverance in life, but also expresses that the pride of youth is gone, but the sense of responsibility of his father is still there. This persistence and tenacity of responsibility is also the most fascinating place of poetry.
The last meaning may come from Chai Lu, where life is hard and lifeless. However, Wang Zhihuan's poems often show profound connotations through appearances, and so does he in this poem. The poem Chai Lu expresses a way of thinking about life. When people encounter misfortune, in addition to the traditional culture, they can keep a calm heart about everything and tell themselves not to complain about the injustice of life, but to face practical difficulties with an optimistic attitude.
