Chopping Sandalwood is an ancient poem, which describes a person chopping sandalwood trees by the river and satirizes and criticizes it. In his poem, the poet used "Kan Kan cutting sandalwood, the river is dry" to describe the scene of cutting sandalwood trees, showing the image of hard work of loggers.
However, the poet said, "No crops, no crops, no crops, no crops." ? No hunting, no hunting. Is there a county seat in Huzhaner Pavilion? Poems such as ",suggesting that the woodcutter's achievements are not achieved by his own efforts, but by improper means.
Taking sandalwood as the introduction, the whole poem is actually satirizing the dignitaries who get something for nothing, criticizing them for not respecting the hard work of working people and enjoying success instead. At the same time, the poet also expressed his dissatisfaction and anger at these dignitaries.
Therefore, the poem "Cutting Sandalwood" means that it is not an easy task to cut down sandalwood trees, and it requires hard work. However, if a person obtains something that does not belong to him through improper means, then he loses its real value just like the person who cuts sandalwood trees.
