Distinguish and appreciate

This article is divided into three chapters and repeated with different rhymes, which not only expresses the resistance of loggers, but also plays a supplementary role in content. For example, in the second and third chapters, "cutting spokes" and "cutting wheels", it is pointed out that sandalwood is cut to make cars, but it also implies that their labor is endless. In addition, the change of prey names in each chapter also shows that no matter what the exploiters hunt, whether it is animals or birds, big or small, they take it for themselves, showing their greedy nature. The whole poem is straightforward, full of anger and emotion, without any exaggeration, which increases the power of realism and disclosure. In addition, the sentence patterns of the poem are flexible and changeable, with four, five, six, seven or even eight characters. They are patchy, straightforward or ironic, and also make feelings freely and fully expressed, which is a typical example of the earliest miscellaneous poems.

Creation background

This article is regarded as an anti-exploitation poem here. Due to the lack of historical materials, it is difficult to confirm the social nature and poet identity at that time. Let's keep the view in the Book of Songs, that is, a group of loggers cut sandalwood trees to make cars, and they are very angry at the thought that the exploiters don't grow crops or hunt, but they possess the fruits of their labor, so you put forward the accountability word for word.
