The Book of Songs was compiled by Confucius based on various ancient poems. What influence did it have in the history of literature?

China's first collection of poems, The Book of Songs, is the source of realistic poetry, which directly started the Han Yuefu poetry and the New Yuefu movement in the Tang Dynasty and had a direct impact on Du Fu's poetic style. The Book of Songs has always been highly valued. Confucius edited and revised the Book of Songs, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called it the "Five Classics" together with Shangshu, Book of Rites, Zhouyi and Chunqiu. Sima Qian said in Baoren An Shu: "There are 300 poems, probably written by sages when they are angry." In Preface to Mao Poetry, "Ya Song" and "Xing" are collectively called "Six Meanings". In fact, the first three refer to the classification of poetry; The last three, Fu, Bi and Xing, refer to the expressive techniques of poetry.

The realism, elegance and verve of The Book of Songs directly influenced the development of China literature. It is also an epic of Zhou people.

Focusing on the folk customs of real life, the confession of truth, goodness, beauty and ugliness stems from the poetic criticism of reality and is embedded in the soul of literature and history. Confucius attached great importance to The Book of Songs. I haven't studied poetry, so there is nothing to say.

The opening of Guanju is touching, the beauty of labor, the quality of a lady and the weapon of a gentleman. Leading coquettish Millennium.

"On the other side of the water, there is a beautiful woman." Love between mountains and rivers, poetic life, the beauty of love, is like a dream.

"Those who know me call me worried", and the sense of hardship encourages people with lofty ideals. Send out the high song of "worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later", leading the spirit of fairness, justice and serving the people.

Literature originates from life. Criticism of real life, awakening is the purpose of literature.

You can't understand literature without reading the Book of Songs.

The Book of Songs, with its lofty position and far-reaching influence in the history of China literature, has laid a fine tradition of China's poetry, nurtured generations of poets, and thus produced the national characteristics of China's poetry art.

The enthusiasm for life, strong political and moral consciousness and sincere and positive attitude towards life shown in The Book of Songs were praised and praised by later generations, and even directly influenced the creation of later poets.

It can be said that without The Book of Songs, China's poets would be delayed for at least several hundred years. The Book of Songs records and proves that our people have a high cultural level for a long time.
