Shi Mao was founded by Mao Heng of Lu and Fang Zhouzi of Zhao. Among them, three writers, Lu, Qi and Han, are today's writers, and they were established as official schools in the Han Dynasty. Mao's poems came out late, which belong to the study of ancient classics in China. The annotations of Mao's poems are concise, and there are few theological superstitions. It has not been established as an official school, and it can only be taught among the people in China.
It was valued in the Eastern Han Dynasty and allowed to be taught openly in the imperial court. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan, a master of Confucian classics, collected an ancient classic of Confucian classics, Biography of Shi Mao, which was mainly annotated by Shi Mao. Since then, the three poems have gradually declined. "Records of Gyeonggi" said: "Qi poetry died in Wei, Lu poetry died in Western Jin and Han poetry died in Song".

Preface to Mao Poetry reveals the artistic essence of the unity of lyricism and lyricism. Its cloud: "Poets have aspirations" clarifies that the origin of poetry creation lies in "aspirations", which constitutes the content of poetry, and is in the same strain as the viewpoint of "poetry expressing aspirations" produced in the pre-Qin era.
From this, we can further realize that the Preface to Shi Mao was written by Han Confucianism, which was integrated with the whole Confucian ideological system, and "poetry expressing ambition" was gradually brought into this system and was studied.
Moreover, Preface to Mao's Poems further puts forward the viewpoint that "emotion moves in the middle and form in words", and compares the expression of "heart is ambition and words are poetry". Although the relationship and connotation between ambition and emotion have not been clearly explained in Preface to Mao Shi, it is believed that they can be unified. Lyricity was mainly used in the theory of music earlier, and the expression of lyricism in the preface can be said to come from Xunzi's theory of music or The Book of Rites.
It can be seen that there are still many musical factors in the poetics of Preface, because the essence of poetry is still understood based on the close relationship between poetry and music. Because of this, Preface to Mao Poetry draws lessons from the lyric theory in the theory of music since the pre-Qin period as a necessary supplement to the theory of expressing will. If we relate the whole development history of China's ancient literary ideas, we will realize how meaningful this supplement is.
