Extended data
The Book of Songs is the beginning of China's ancient poems and the first collection of China's poems. 305 poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period were collected, which were divided into three parts: "wind", "elegance" and "ode", reflecting the social outlook of about 500 years from the early Zhou Dynasty to the weekend. The Book of Songs has a lot to do with us chickens.
All the versions of The Book of Songs we see today have a common name-"Shi Mao". This is because when Qin Shihuang burned books and buried Confucianism, a large number of ancient books were burned.
At this critical moment, Mao Heng, a Jize man, risked his life to hide the Book of Songs in the family cemetery and pass it on to his nephew Scarlett, making it spread to this day. In order to commemorate the great achievements of Mao Heng's uncle Scathacha, later scholars dubbed the Book of Songs Mao Shi and called it Mao Shi.
