Do the poems in The Book of Songs have meter?

The poetic style of The Book of Songs is rhythmic.

The Book of Songs often uses reduplicated sentences, reduplicated words and disyllabic rhymes. The repeated structure of repeated chapters and sentences leads to repeated chanting and repetition, which enhances the lyrical effect, while the use of repeated words and rhymes enhances the beauty of music and image. Most of the poems in The Book of Songs rhyme, which is common and most commonly used in China's later generations. Only one rhyme part is used in a chapter, every other sentence rhymes, and even sentences rhyme.

Zhu Zaiyu, a great musician in the Ming Dynasty, said in Quanle: "There are 300 books in The Book of Songs, and 31 of them are elegant, all of which are in Gongdiao. Xiaoya's seventy-four articles are all calls. Thirty-one Zhou Song works and four truffles all have feathers. 15 "national wind" 160 articles, all angular. The five articles of "Shang Song" are all business tunes. " This relationship between poetry and music has been partially confirmed in Shanghai bamboo slips "Collection of Songs". Mr. Ma Chengyuan thinks: "Short prose is a part of many tracks in the collected materials compiled by music officials according to the order of five tones and different kinds of music." When you string a song, you can set the tone according to this category. For example, the Book of Songs and bamboo slips are about music popular in Chu. "
