1, the original poem:
To cut wild bamboo, to make a bow; To play with mud, to chase prey.
2. Introduction: Selected from Wu Yue Chun Qiu. "Wu Yue Chun Qiu" records that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Gou Jian, the monarch of the State of Yue, asked Chen Yin, an archer of Chu, for advice on how to play the bow, and Chen Yin quoted this song "Playing Songs" in his reply. Wu Yue Chun Qiu was written by Zhao Ye in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was written late. However, judging from Ge Tan's language and content, this short song is probably handed down orally from primitive society and written by later generations (according to legend, it was written by the Yellow Emperor). This is a two-character poem reflecting hunting life in primitive society. The sentences are short and quick, and the rhythm is lively, which is very interesting to read.
