1, on this issue, we must first talk about the source of poetry. The origin of literature and art is a complex form at first, and the earliest literature is a ballad combining music and dance. "In the past, Ge people, three people fucked the ox's tail and sang eight songs." ("Lv Chunqiu Ancient Music")
2. Later, the Book of Songs became more harmonious. These poems are the lyrics of songs. As the saying goes, "there are 300 ode poems, 300 string poems, 300 song poems and 300 dance poems." (Mozi Meng Gong) means that every poem in The Book of Songs can be played, sung and danced with musical instruments.
3. Qu Yuan's Songs of the South is still closely related to music and dance. Many chapters in Songs of the South are named after Chu music, such as Yangchun, Snow White, Shejiang, Cailing and so on. The singing methods of "Nine Songs" and "Evocation" are combined with the witch culture in Chu.
