The Book of Songs is divided into three parts: style, elegance and vulgarity, and fu. "Wind" is the tune of various vassal states; Elegant Style is a positive music in Zhou Zong. "Ode" is the joy of ancestral temple sacrifice. The artistic techniques in The Book of Songs can be summarized as "Fu, Bi and Xing".
It is generally believed that style, elegance and ode are the classification and content theme of poetry; Fu, Bi and Xing are the expressive methods of poetry. Among them, style, elegance and praise are divided according to the different music, while fu, bi and xing are divided according to the means of expression.
The application of Fu, Bi and Xing is an important symbol of the artistic features of The Book of Songs, and it is also the basic technique of China's ancient poetry creation. There have always been many arguments about the meaning of Fu, Bi and Xing. In short, what Fu Shuo meant was the truth, that is, the poet expressed his thoughts, feelings and related things in a straightforward way. Comparison is a kind of analogy. Comparing one thing with another, the poet has skill or emotion and uses one thing as a metaphor. Xing is touching things to stimulate words, and objective things trigger poets' emotions and cause poets to sing, so it is often at the beginning of poems. In poetry creation, Fu, Bi and Xing are often used together to shape the artistic image of poetry and express the poet's feelings.
