Creative background:
The Zhou Dynasty was founded by Wen and Wu, and it was successful and prosperous. After Zhao and Mu, the national situation gradually declined. Later, Li was expelled, you Wang was killed, Ping Wang moved to the east, and entered the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family declined, princes merged, barbarians invaded, and society was in turmoil.
In the Zhou Dynasty, there was an official who collected poems. Every spring, he shakes Muduo and goes deep into the folk to collect folk songs. After sorting out the works that can reflect the joys and sorrows of the people, he gave them to the Taishi (the official in charge of music) to compose music and sing them to the emperor as a reference for administration.
As a whole, The Book of Songs reflects the social life from the early Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, which is an image reflection of China's social life in these 500 years, including the ode of ancestors' entrepreneurship and the movement of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods.
There are also banquet exchanges between nobles and resentment against uneven work and rest; There are also touching chapters reflecting labor, hunting and a lot of love, marriage and social customs.
Refers to the land south of Zhou, which is a fief, that is, southwest Henan and northwest Hubei. Most of Nan Zhou's poems were written in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and early Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The first poem "Guan Ju" is a poem about love. ?

This poem mainly shows good luck, and Mao legend says, "Master Xing." What is "Xing"? Kong's explanation is the most pertinent. He said in "Justice in Mao Poetry": "Anyone who is' Xing' will rise. Draw inferences from others, lead the whole class and open your heart.
Those who cite plants, animals and birds to see the meaning in the poem are all "xing". "The so-called" Xing "is the first thing caused by other scenery, that is, sustenance. This is a euphemistic and implicit expression.
Such a poem is based on the dove's "loyalty and difference", and a lady should be worthy of a gentleman; Miss with poor leek flow is hard to find; And leek are also "pick" and "win", and miss and miss are also "friends" and "happy".
The advantage of this technique is that it has far-reaching influence and can produce more than enough effect. This poem also uses some disyllabic rhyming words to enhance the harmonious beauty of poetic tone and the vividness of describing characters.
For example, "graceful and restrained" rhymes; "Staggered" is disyllabic; "Tossing" is both a double tone and a rhyme. Use such words to modify actions, such as "tossing and turning"; Imitate images, such as My Fair Lady; Describing scenery, such as "jagged shepherd's purse", is vivid and vivid.
Liu said in his Essay Notes: "The ancient voice ... proverbs mostly follow the nature, and the reason why they can be homophonic is that one sentence is Ye Yun, and the other is that the words with double rhymes are used between sentences."
Although this poem is different from Ye Yun's, the use of disyllabic rhymes keeps the simple and natural style of ancient poetry. In terms of rhyme, this poem adopts the way of even sentences entering rhyme. This even rhyme has dominated China's classical poetry for more than two thousand years.
Moreover, the whole article rhymes three times, and the word "zhi" at the foot of the function word does not rhyme, but the previous word of the function word rhymes. This uneven change of rhythm greatly enhances the sense of rhythm and musical beauty of poetry.
This poem can be regarded as a model to show the virtues of husband and wife, mainly because of these characteristics: first, the love it writes has a clear marriage purpose from the beginning, and finally comes down to the happiness of marriage.
It's not a brief encounter between young men and women or a temporary passion. This kind of love, which clearly points to marriage and shows responsibility, is more recognized by society. Secondly, it describes both men and women as "gentlemen" and "ladies".
Explain that this is a combination associated with Germany. "Gentleman" has both status and virtue, while "My Fair Lady" also means beauty in appearance and goodness in virtue. The combination of "gentleman" and "lady" here represents an ideal of marriage.
Third, it is the restraint of love behavior written in poetry. After careful reading, it can be noted that although this poem is about the man's pursuit of the woman, it does not involve direct contact between the two sides at all.
Of course, the "lady" didn't move, and the "gentleman" was just "tossing and turning" there. Things like climbing the wall and breaking the willow seemed to have never been thought of at all, and love was very disciplined.
This kind of love is not only true affection (which is very important for love poems), but also shows peace and moderation, which will not be too intense for readers.
All these characteristics are probably related to the fact that this poem was originally a noble wedding song. On that occasion, an atmosphere of restraint and joy commensurate with the status of the host is needed. Confucius saw a kind of beauty of neutralization with extensive significance.
In order to advocate his attitude towards life of self-denial and self-respect, and attach importance to moral cultivation, Preface to Mao Poetry is publicized as a moral textbook that can "make the world a good couple". The perspectives of the two are somewhat different, but there are still fundamental similarities.
