Ancient myths and poems, China's earliest soul poems.
There are some differences between China and western cultures, but history almost always begins with myths and legends. Before there is a specific historical record, history will always be a mystery, as we say now, the dinosaur period, the early stage of human formation, and then the formation of the earth. These are the history of human development, and there is no way to study them. At present, human beings are exploring and studying it.
Among them, many poems, with the vicissitudes of time, have remained in the mulberry field of eternal history. In ancient myths and legends, Pangu created the world, and Nu Wa created human beings, so there was human beings and language. Language is the earliest poem, and every name and sentence is the oldest poem, so the development of poetry originally evolved from language to writing.
History records the period of The Book of Songs and The Songs of the South.
Because The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems in the history of China, although its author is not detailed, its contents generally reflect the historical features and living conditions from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period in recent hundreds of years, which occupies an important position in the history of China's poetry and plays a leading role in the creation of later poems. That is to say, most of the poets after the Book of Songs in China are influenced by the Book of Songs.
Elegant songs have different styles, and the realistic charm runs through poetry. Its artistic charm is the real life situation, which deserves to be regarded as the milestone and source of China's poetry. In the river, there is a gentle lady and a kind gentleman.
Although the book "Songs of the South" is a dialect genre, it is romantic, just like an ethereal myth, and it is free and unrestrained. It was created by Qu Yuan, and is called "Chu Ci" or "Sao". Chu Ci has local literature, but its lyrical way and heroic feelings have greatly influenced the poetry creation of later generations, and it has the integration of North and South cultures, with romantic literature and realism as the guide.
