"National Style? Tang Style? Bustard Feather" is a poem in the "Book of Songs", the first collection of poetry in ancient China. This is a poem against corvee exploitation and oppression. It describes farmers who have been serving long-term military service and cannot farm to support their parents. The poem expresses resistance.

The original text and annotations of The Book of Songs Tang Feng Bustard Yu
Bustard Yu
Su Su Bustard Yu, Gathered in Baoxu. The king's affairs are too busy to do anything but millet and millet. Who are the parents? The sky is long, what is there to do?
The bustard's wings are gathered on the thorns. The king's affairs are too busy, and he can't do anything. Where can parents eat? The sky is long and full, how can it be so beautiful?
The bustards gather in the buds of mulberry trees, and the king's affairs are too busy to weed the rice beams. What about parents? The sky is long, and it is always there?

Translation of The Book of Songs by Tang Feng Bustard Yu
The wild geese flapped their wings and swarmed on the oak tree.
The royal errands can’t be finished,
I can’t plant millet and sorghum.
Who can support my parents?
Dear God,
When can I return to my hometown?
The wild geese spread their wings and fly ,
Gathered in groups on jujube trees.
The royal errands can’t be finished,
I can’t plant millet and sorghum.
How can we have food to support our parents?
God from above,
When will it end?
The wild geese are flying in full flight ,
Hung in groups on mulberry trees.
The royal errands can’t be finished,
I can’t plant rice and sorghum.
What should I use to give my parents a taste?
God from above,
When will life be normal?
Appreciation of Tang Feng Bustard in the Book of Songs
"The Bustard Feather" describes the peasants' protest and resentment against the heavy and endless royal servitude. It expresses people's desire for a stable life where their families can reunite and live and work in peace and contentment. In particular, it reveals the damage caused by corvee to production and people's new life, which is of more profound significance. The swaying bustards gathered on the tree are used as a metaphor for the corvee that prevents people from resting. It is both vivid and evocative.
