In the 4th century, poetry entered the churches in Byzantium and Milan, Italy. With the development of Gregorian chants, chants have formed a simple format, resulting in "Eight Chants" (one-to-one correspondence with the original church model). Since the 6th century, it has become an important part of the daily curriculum. Since Joskin's time, its Latin lyrics have provided lyrics for countless classic songs. From the end of 18, the poetry of the Anglican Church was gradually replaced by the chorus of the congregation and the cathedral choir.
"Chant" usually refers to the book "Chant" in the Old Testament, which contains 150 chants and is an important intellectual literary work. Most poems were written from the 9th century BC to the 3rd century BC, with a long time span, but the main creations were concentrated around the 6th century BC. This period was a period of exile, loss and seeking comfort for Jews during Babylonian rule.
The teachings of Christianity
Different sects have different emphases, but the basic beliefs are recognized by all sects. The teachings of Christianity can be summed up in two words "fraternity". In Jesus' eyes, fraternity is divided into two aspects: loving God and loving others as yourself. Jesus once said, "You should love the Lord your God with all your heart. This is the first and greatest commandment. "
The second similarity is to love your neighbor as yourself. These two commandments are the general program of all laws and prophecies. "(Matthew 22: 36-40) In Christian doctrine, loving God means serving God wholeheartedly in religious life. Christianity is a strict monotheism, which only recognizes God as the highest God, and opposes polytheism and idolatry, as well as red tape and grandstanding in religious life. "
Loving one's own life is the basic principle of Christians. Its requirements are: people should constantly strive for self-improvement, be strict with themselves, be lenient with others, tolerate and forgive, love the enemy, and then oppose violence and resist and love the enemy. Only by meeting the above requirements can we reach the highest level of fraternity.
