Kan Kan cut sandalwood, the river dried up, and the river was clear and rippling.
No crops, no crops, no crops, no crops.
No hunting, no hunting. Is there a county in Hu Zhaner's court?
He is a gentleman, he is not a vegetarian!
Kan Kan is spreading. It is placed by the river. The river is clear and straight.
No crops, no crops, no crops, no crops, no crops.
No hunting, no hunting, is there a special county in Hu Zhan's court?
He is a gentleman, and he is not a vegetarian!
Kan Kan cut the wheel, the river flows, the river is clear, and the river is destroyed.
No crops, no crops, no crops, no crops.
No hunting, no hunting. Is there a county quail in Huzhanerting?
He is a gentleman, but he is extraordinary!
On the theme of this poem, Preface to Shi Mao said: "Cutting Tan is also greed. When you are in power, you are greedy and rewarded for nothing. A gentleman is not allowed to be an official. " Confuse the "gentleman" in the poem with the hero in the poem, and make a fuss about the "gentleman". Zhu said in the Biography of Poetry: "However, he thought that he could not get crops without plowing and wild animals without hunting, so he was willing to be poor and hungry without regrets. The poet told the story and sighed, thinking it was a real foodie. In future generations, people like Xu Zhi will not eat unless they can eat. " They think this poem is "a vegetarian diet for gentlemen who are only interested in aesthetics". In fact, the hero in the poem is a working farmer, and the "gentleman" in the poem refers to the ruler. This poem is a complete satire on "gentleman". Dai Zhen said: "Those who are in office are lucky and vain, and their lives are filthy. Those who are surplus do not grow their own crops and hunt." Eating the food of the people, serving the people without merit, is a vegetarian meal, and has generally gained its meaning. This is a poem written by ancient laborers against exploiters.
The whole poem consists of three chapters with roughly the same meaning. According to the vein of the poet's emotional development, it can be divided into three layers: the first layer is about the hard work of cutting sandalwood and making cars. The first two sentences are about Chen Qi, and the third sentence is about lyricism, which is rare in The Book of Songs. When the woodcutter transported the sandalwood tree he had cut to the river, he could not help admiring the beauty of nature in the face of the rippling river, and the woodcutter experienced temporary relaxation and joy. However, because they are bound by heavy oppression and exploitation, they naturally flow freely from the river, thinking that they are engaged in heavy labor all day and have no freedom, which arouses their resentment. Then on the second floor, I thought I was going to plant crops and hunt for exploiters, but all 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, "If you don't harvest crops, you can't beat hay." No hunting, no hunting. Is there a county seat in Huzhaner Pavilion? The third layer further exposes the parasitic nature of the unearned exploiter, and skillfully concludes with irony: "He is a gentleman, but he is not a vegetarian", ridiculing the exploiter and pointing out the theme.
This poetic arrangement, strewn at random, staggered and flexible, rolls freely, which is very vivid, flexible and infectious.
