The system of ancient poetry is called "ode to elegance", in which "ode" refers to?

Odes are mainly music songs used by the Zhou emperors and princes for sacrificial ceremonies or other important ceremonies, and the contents are mostly to publicize the destiny and praise the merits of ancestors. For example, The Dance of Dawu in Song of Zhou is a song and dance music that praises the achievements of Zhou Wenwang, Zhou Wuwang, Duke Zhou and Zhao Gong. Destiny is a poem that emphasizes destiny and praises becoming a king. Pan Shui and The Palace of Truffles are also poems praising American ancestors. The five articles in Ode to Shang are all ancestral temple sacrificial songs, and they are also full of eulogies. There are also some works in Ode that reflect the production of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery at that time. For example, some sacrificial songs, such as Official Work, West, Good Years, Slaughter, Liang Yi, etc., have specific descriptions of the situation and scale of agricultural production in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The poem □ zai not only praises the prosperity of horse husbandry, but also reflects the development of animal husbandry in Shandong. The word "Qian" in "Song of Zhou" describes all kinds of precious fish sacrificed to the ancestral temple by the king of Zhou, which reflects the fishery production at that time.

In addition, Zhou Song wrote all kinds of ancient musical instruments in his travels, and the long hair and the mysterious bird in Ode to Shang Dynasty preserved the myths and historical facts about Shang Dynasty, which are important materials for studying the history, myths and legends of China.

Fu is full of empty and abstract preaching, lacking in imagery and rhythmic beauty, and rarely using contrast and stimulation. Among them, Zhou Fu is earlier, and its language is elegant and solemn, but it is not fresh and bright, and it is not very regular. However, some poems describing agricultural production, such as Zai Ji and Liang Ji, vividly and concretely describe activities such as farming, harvest, sacrifice and blessing through line drawing, metaphor and exaggeration. His creation was influenced by Feng and Ya's poems. For example, Dishui and Gong are very elegant in style, while □ and You □ are repeated chanting, and their verve is very similar to Feng. As Kong Ying Da's "Justice in Shi Mao" said: "Although it is called ode, it is actually a divine comedy, so there are chapters and sentences." Ode to Shang may also be due to its late age, long length, concise words, concrete narrative and harmonious rhythm. Among them, "Na", "Ancestor" and "Xuanniao" are two sentences, with no chapter, and the structure is similar to that of Zhou Song. "Long Hair" and "Yanwu" are long in length, divided into chapters and elegant in style.
