Creative background:
"Guo Feng, Qi Feng, July" is the longest poem in The Book of Songs Guo Feng. "Preface to Mao Poetry" says: "In July, Chen Ye. Duke Zhou has changed, so the reason for Chen Houji's first public weathering is the difficulty of Wang Ye. " Chen Huan's Biography of Shi Mao's Poems is regarded as "the Duke of Zhou was influenced by the change of his managerial talents", which is far apart and seems unbelievable. "History of Han Geography" said: "In the past, Hou Ji was a shepherd, Gong Liu was a shepherd, the King of Thailand moved to Qi, the King of Wen was a shepherd, and the King of Wu ruled the axe. His people have inherited the legacy of their predecessors. They are good at farming and working. Therefore, I wrote a poem saying that Nong Sang was well fed and clothed. " Accordingly, this paper is considered to be the early Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, the period when Gong stayed in prison.
