It's been a long time since I got up early every day to recite a book of songs. Every time I see a word in singing practice, I have a sense of urgency to enter the world of The Book of Songs. So I want to deepen my understanding of The Book of Songs through introduction.
The Book of Songs is China's first collection of poems. It is said that Confucius deleted poems and arranged more than 3,000 ancient poems into 305 poems for future generations to learn. Sima Qian's Historical Records Confucius Family said: "When it comes to Confucius, the ancients wrote more than 3,000 poems. When it comes to Confucius, it is necessary to pay attention to it, take its courtesy and righteousness, adopt its deed and adopt its Hou Ji, and describe the prosperity of Yin and Zhou Dynasties and the lack of seclusion in the middle, all in the banquet. Therefore, we said, "I thought it was the Guanluo rebellion."
Some people think that Sima Qian focused on Confucius and said this sentence. But Zhu also recognized Sima Qian's attention to Confucius. In The Book of Songs, Zhou said that in fact, Confucius never said anything to more than 3,000 poems, nor did he delete them. Confucius has only over 300 poems in his hand. These 300 articles have been accompanied by music, and music is not accompanied by Confucius. Later, Confucius traveled around the world and returned to Shandong. At that time, the original songs in The Book of Songs were scattered, which were later arranged by Confucius. Therefore, it is wrong for Confucius to add music to the Book of Songs. It is the editor's arrangement to regard Guan Ju, Luming Literature, Wen Wang and Qing Palace in the poem as the beginning of Guo Feng, Xiaoya and Ya Song.
I think it doesn't matter to me whether the Book of Songs was written by Confucius or not, but I'm not a scholar or a historical researcher until I come to a conclusion. I just want to walk into the world of the Book of Songs and feel what Confucius said: "Three hundred poems, in a word, are innocent." "If you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say." That's great.
Confucius said, "Why can't boys learn poetry? Poetry can be aroused, observed, grouped and resented. Your father, the king of distant affairs, knows the names of birds and beasts better. " The Book of Songs is an important source of China's poetry and even China's literature. Its content, thought, language and creative method have far-reaching influence on later generations. Learning the Book of Songs has been an important part of education since ancient times.
Watching the Year is the beginning of Feng and the first article of The Book of Songs. The ancients ranked it at the top of 305 articles, indicating its high value. Tomorrow I will walk into Guansui and start my journey of learning poetry.
