Most of "Ode to Zhou" is a sacrificial movement of the Zhou Dynasty in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and some works are from the late period of Wang Zhao. Truffle is a Lu Fu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Shang Yang Fu is a work traced back to the source by Song people in the Spring and Autumn Period (Song is a descendant of Yin Shang).
The explanation of ode was first found in Preface to Poetry: "The eulogist is described as beautiful and virtuous, and he tells the gods about his success." Confucius said in Mao Shi Zheng Yi that the word "Rong" was omitted under "ode". Zhu's Biography of Poetry says that the ancient words "ode" and "capacity" are universal.
According to Ruan Yuan's "Song Shi, Shi Jing Collection", "Rong" refers to the ability of dancing, and "description of beauty and goodness" refers to the dance action of praising "goodness". For example, Zhou Song Wei Qing is a music song dedicated to King Wen, and Xiao Xu says, "Playing like dancing".
Zheng Xuan's Biography of Mao Poetry says, "It's like dancing, like stabbing and dancing when fighting." That is to say, the plot and action of Zhou Wenwang's military conquest are expressed in the form of dance, which can prove that he not only sang but also danced when he worshipped his ancestral temple. "Song and dance" can be said to be the characteristics of ancestral temple music and songs. Modern scholars also believe that Fu is the joy of offering sacrifices to ancestral temples, and some of it is dance music.
