Tearing down sandalwood trees,
Put it on the river bank,
The river is clear and blue.
No sowing, no harvest,
Why do you want to tie up the crops and move them home?
No winter hunting, no night hunting,
Why do you see pigs and badgers hanging in your yard?
Those gentlemen, gentlemen,
You won't eat for nothing!
Cut down sandalwood trees to make spokes,
Pile it by the river,
The river is as clear as a mirror.
No sowing, no harvest,
Why did you bundle up the crops and carry them away?
No winter hunting, no night hunting,
Why do you see the animal poles in your yard?
Those gentlemen, gentlemen,
Meat and bones are not free!
Cut down sandalwood trees to make wheels,
Tear down the villages by the river one by one,
The river is rippling.
No sowing, no harvest,
Why do you have to keep the crops?

Why do I see quail hanging in your yard?
Those gentlemen, gentlemen,
You won't eat meat for nothing!

This is one of the most familiar chapters in The Book of Songs. It is a poem that ancient laborers attacked the slave owners and nobles in vain, and it is a poem against exploitation.
The meaning of the three chapters is roughly the same, which can be divided into three layers according to the context of the poet's emotional development: the first layer describes the hard work of cutting sandalwood to make cars. The first two sentences tell stories directly, and the third sentence turns to describing lyricism. When the woodcutter transported the sandalwood tree he had cut to the river, he couldn't help admiring the clear water rippling in the microwave. The beauty of nature is pleasing to the eye, and it also brings temporary relaxation and joy to these loggers, but this is only a momentary feeling. Because they are under the yoke of heavy oppression and exploitation, they naturally break away from the free flow of rivers and think that they are engaged in heavy labor all day long and have no freedom, thus arousing injustice in their hearts. So, on the second floor, I thought of planting crops and hunting for the exploiters from now on, but these gains were taken away and I had nothing. The more I think about it, the more I can't hold back my anger. I can't help but ask sternly, "There are not enough crops to take 300 grains." No hunting, no hunting. Is there a county seat in Huzhaner Pavilion? The third layer further reveals the parasitic nature of the unearned exploiter, and skillfully uses irony to draw a conclusion: "He is a gentleman, but he is not a vegetarian. "By mocking the exploiter, he pointed out the theme and expressed the rebellious anger hidden in his chest.
The whole poem is straightforward, the narrative is full of anger and emotion, and it is repeated without exaggeration, which increases the sense of reality and strength. In addition, the poetic style is flexible and changeable, with four characters, five characters, six characters, seven characters and even eight characters, which are patchy, straightforward or ironic, so that feelings can be freely and fully expressed. This poem is the earliest miscellaneous poem.
