The Book of Songs was originally named "Poetry", and there were 305 * * * poems (in addition, there were 6 poems with titles and no content, which was called "Sheng Poetry"), so it was also called "Poetry 300".

The Book of Songs consists of 305 articles, which are divided into three parts: style, elegance and ode. Wind has fifteen national styles and is a folk song of all countries in the world. This part of literature has the highest achievements, including praising beautiful things such as love and labor, complaining and angry about homesickness, thinking about people and opposing oppression and bullying. Elegance and vulgarity are divided into elegance and vulgarity and Xiaoya, and most of them are poems that offer sacrifices to noble people, pray for a good harvest and praise their ancestors.
