Appreciation of Zhou Songtian Zuo This is a short movement that eulogizes Zhou Guowang Gu Gong Qifu's founding of Qishan Foundation and his achievements. "Heaven makes mountains" emphasizes that Qishan is a sacred place given by heaven. Zhou people attached great importance to God-given, and regarded it as an auspicious thing, even when they got married: "The king of Wen first boarded, and the match made in heaven." ("Daya Daming") After the Qi Mountain is blessed, it is still necessary to accumulate strength on the ground. This process is mainly written in poetry. The reason why I only chose the King of Qi and the King of Wen is mainly because they are indeed the most outstanding representatives of Qi Shan IX Zhou Zhu. Although the demise of the Shang Dynasty was completed, the times showed the inevitable trend of the Shang Dynasty. Shang Zhouwang's imprisonment of Zhou Wenwang can only delay but can't stop this historical development. Since Zhou Wuwang operated in Zhou Wenwang, Qishan Holy Land has accumulated enough power to destroy business, including Jiang Shang, a wise minister, who can help achieve great success. A Journey to a Foreign Country is obviously a road to victory initiated by my late king.

Many people have different interpretations of some words in this little poem. For example, "there is one thing", which is interpreted as the people, then "there is one thing" means that the people build houses; Some people interpret it as the ancestor king, and "doing" means that the ancestor king created great achievements. Such as "health", one solution is stability and well-being; One solution is to inherit the past and carry forward the future. People have different opinions about whether this so-called poem is meaningful or not.

The poem Zhou Songtian Zuo combines the praise of holy places and saints, focuses on the process of accumulating strength and reveals the inevitable trend of historical development. His writing style is like a surging river, which is both solemn and magnificent. Just seven sentences, with such artistic effect, shows the generosity of the poet.

Zhou Songtian Zuo's creative background This is a musical song of Zhou people's sacrifice to Qishan. For Zhou people, Qishan is a sacred place: "Zhou Xingwang, (Phoenix) sings in Qishan." ("Mandarin Zhou Yu") A series of Zhou people spread to the land where the father of ancient Qi Huangong lived, "cultivating Rong Di to attack it and giving it to get property; The attack has resumed, wanting to get land and people. The people are angry and want to fight. The ancient duke said, "If the people establish a monarch, they will benefit from it. What Emperor Rong did today is to attack and fight with our land and people. What's the difference between people and me? People want to fight with me and kill their father and son, but they can't bear it. It is a private person who removes the shackles and draws down. The people of the whole country help the old and the weak, and they are still old and weak. Other neighboring countries have heard of Gu Gongren and have all returned to it. (Historical Records Zhou Benji) Before the ancient duke, Hou Ji and Gong Liu were also outstanding. The reason why Guoyu chose Qishan as the holy land for the rise of Zhou people seems to be that he greatly advocates the benevolence of the ancient father. As can be seen from the above quotation, the father of the ancient duke not only loved his own people, but also pushed his kindness to the aliens who repeatedly violated him. Nature is more valuable, so it is also.

Zhou Song Tianzuo is one of the few works describing Qishan (the other is money). Mao's Preface to Poetry says "respecting the king before the public", while Zhu's Biography of Poetry calls it "the poem of respecting the king". Both of them think that the object of sacrifice is people. Yao Jiheng quoted Ji Ming's "De" as "Sacrificing Qishan" in The Book of Songs, that is, the object of sacrifice in Zhou Songtian Zuo was Qishan. As a matter of fact, Qishan was the base where Qi Huangong's father started his business from the beginning to the end of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was also the place where later loggers accumulated their strength. The poem "Zhou Songtian Zuo" should be both a sacrifice to the holy land and a sacrifice to the wise monarch who created and managed the holy land. Because Qishan's career was started by Gu's father, and later moved to Yufeng, Tianzuo should be a poem dedicated to the emperor by Gu's father in Qishan. As for the person who performed the sacrifice, Zhou Wuwang, the heir of Zhou Wenwang, must belong to him.
