If you don't study the classic poem-The Book of Songs, you won't know how to express it correctly and how to put it elegantly.
Is it so amazing? Of course.
Zhu explained that by studying and reading classic poems, you can understand things and gain peace of mind-gentle and sincere spirit, so you can speak-not eloquently, but substantively and appropriately.
Historically, "poetry" is the spiritual product of the public space in the poetry era, and the intellectual elite should use it in various lofty occasions:
The ancients, princes, and Qing doctors made neighbors and felt each other in a whisper. When they abdicate, they must call poems to express their ambitions. Gai Yi Biede is unworthy, and watch its rise and fall. So Confucius said, "If you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say".
In short, the intellectual elites are "writing poems and understanding ideas" when communicating. How can they talk if they don't learn?
The Book of Songs on the Tang Monument
As Kong Li, the son of Confucius' education, said, if we don't study 25 works such as Nan Zhou and Zhao Nan, and reflect the spirit of Zhou Wenwang and the Duke of Zhou in poetry, we will "stand on the wall". Probably, people are standing there facing the wall, and their sight is blocked. Not only are they unable to move, but their vision is bound to be narrow, and their minds are shriveled and barren, and they have nothing to say. How can people be wise without the nourishment of living water?
Birthday greetings in The Book of Songs
Jiuru Song/Nanshan Life
Natural Forest Protection in Xiaoya;
Mountains like hills, hills like tombs; If you come from Sichuan, you should increase it. ...
As unchanging as the moon;
As the sun rises;
Such as the life of Nanshan, it does not collapse;
Such as pine and cypress;
If you don't promise or accept.
These poems were originally written to praise the monarch, because nine words "such as" were used in succession, and there was a classic expression of "If Nanshan is alive, it will not fall". Later generations took "Nine Rus" as their birthday words. For example, the old man is nine years old and still working hard. Rong Zhi is colorful, and the picture is now nine.
If life is longer than Nanshan and happiness is like the East China Sea, it's not bad, but it's too ordinary.

Mei Shou/Mei Jie
The Book of Songs Qi Feng July;
To this end, spring wine, with the help of eyebrows.
According to the relief of Confucius' book in Tang Dynasty, some people must show off their big hair when they are old. In ancient times, eyebrows were used as birthday greetings because they were used as birthday words. For example, if you are full of eyes, you will have a long life.
Or: Mei Jie. For example, the younger generation prepares spring wine to introduce eyebrows to the elders.
(May you enjoy) infinite longevity.
