Southern Song Dynasty·Guo Maoqian's "Collection of Yuefu Poems·Zhaoxia Music": "Decorating animals and lifting animals, singing and dancing, not only giving up the body, but also sending to the spirit house." It can be said that this is the characteristic of ancestral temple music.
The Book of Songs is my country's first collection of poetry and the first collection of realistic poetry. It contains 305 poems written before the mid-Spring and Autumn Period (hence the name "Three Hundred Poems"). It is a true reflection of the social life during the five hundred years of Zhou Dynasty's prosperity and decline. The Book of Songs is divided into three parts: "Wind", "Elegance" and "Song". Among them, "Wind" is a folk song from 15 vassal states and regions in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, with a total of 160 pieces. "Ya" refers to the music of temples, and is divided into "Daya" (mostly used for praise) and "Xiaoya" (mostly used for complaints), with a total of 105 chapters. "Song" is the joy of sacrifice. There are 40 chapters in total, divided into "Song of Zhou", "Song of Lu" and "Song of Shang". They are works by the kings of Zhou, Lu Bo and Shang to worship and praise their ancestors. They have the characteristics of " Singing and dancing" characteristics. The Book of Songs is good at using three artistic techniques: "Fu", "Bi" and "Xing". Among them, "Fu" means narrative, that is, telling the plot and laying out the objects.
