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. The Book of Songs, which reflects the social life from the early Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, is an image reflection of China's social life during these 500 years, including the ancestor's ode to 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.

In the following chapters, the hero's crazy lovesickness and pursuit of women are all caused by the act of picking leeks. The whole poem skillfully adopts the expression of "Xing" in art, with beautiful language and good use of double rhyme and overlapping words, which enhances the aesthetic feeling of rhyme and the vividness of drawing and imitating sound.
