The theory of "positive change" in the Book of Songs, and its specific explanation

"Elegance is changing" is a basic problem in the study history of The Book of Songs. According to the traditional view, elegance refers to the genre of the Book of Songs, and the positive and negative are aimed at the content of the poem. However, scholars from all walks of life have different opinions on its origin, background and possibility of existence. Su Zhe pointed out the reasons for the change of elegance and correctness in Shi Zhuan, and put forward the viewpoint of the change of elegance and correctness based on the general trend of the times. Although Mao and Zheng have similarities and differences, on the whole, Su Zhe still follows Mao's theory and interprets poetry with the traditional Confucian concept of poetry teaching, but strives to be more perfect in methods.
