1. The Book of Songs is the source of China's poetry enlightenment.
China is a country of poetry, and the education of China people starts with dolls. Learn from the baby's babbling, and sort out 300 Tang poems. Then The Book of Songs, as the first collection of poems in ancient China, is the first book about poetry left by our ancestors, although some poems are impressive.
Poetry education is very important in China. We say a flower and a world, a tree and a life. The child grows up slowly. When they see that spring is coming and peach blossoms are blooming, they may say, "In April, all flowers bloom on earth and peach blossoms bloom in mountain temples." But I also hope that children can say, "peaches fly away and burn their glory."
Second, The Book of Songs is a mirror of history.
The Book of Songs has become an encyclopedia of Zhou society. We want to know the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Book of Songs has a very detailed record.
As we all know, style, elegance and fu are the three categories of The Book of Songs. There are 15 ethnic and regional folk songs in National Wind. At that time, people's life, what people ate, what they wore and what they did were described in detail in The Book of Songs.
Third, the Book of Songs can learn about animals and plants.
Confucius said that learning poetry can "know more about plants, animals and birds" and let us know more about animals and plants. There are many animals and plants in The Book of Songs that we can't touch at ordinary times. For example, the pheasant dove in Guanluo, what kind of bird is a pheasant dove? Waterbirds? Osprey? Goose? For example, in millet separation, what kind of plant is it? Is it millet that you can't eat now? And slugs in slugs. Is it plantain? What does it look like? What's the use?
Therefore, these animals and plants mentioned in the Book of Songs are very useful to our children and parents who grew up in the city.
