1. The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems in China and the source of China's realistic poems. It was originally called "Poetry", and it was not until the Western Han Dynasty that it was honored as a Confucian classic and was called "The Book of Songs". The Book of Songs contains poems of about 500 years from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. There are 305 existing poems, which are divided into three parts: body, elegance and ode, with four words as the main part, and the methods of fu, comparison and xing are widely used. Ju, selected from The Book of Songs Nan Zhou, is one of the "national styles". This is a labor song with a strong flavor of life, which is a folk song sung by southern women in Zhou Dynasty.
2. The Book of Songs has a far-reaching influence in the history of China literature. Confucius once said, "There are 300 poems. In a word, they are innocent." There is nothing to say if you don't study poetry. Mr. Lu Xun also said, "In essence, the wind is Lu Xiang's love poem; Elegance, the music song of the court; Singer, the music song of the ancestral hall. " Liang Qichao once said, "The existing pre-Qin ancient books are mixed with true and false, and there is almost no problem. They are authentic Jin Meiyu, and the word is credible. The Book of Songs is the first one. It can be said that the first thing to learn literature is to learn the Book of Songs, which shows its importance. At the same time, The Book of Songs is also a popular test center in our institution. I hope students can have a deeper understanding of The Book of Songs after reading this article.
