What is China's first lyric poem? When did it appear?

China's first lyric poem is Li Sao, which appeared in the Warring States Period. Li Sao, written after Qu Yuan's exile, shows Qu Yuan's sufferings and drift from place to place all his life, shows Qu Yuan's nostalgia for his old country, shows Qu Yuan's resentment against the Chu regime, and shows Qu Yuan's concern for the common people. All kinds of emotions are condensed together, giving the whole poem a very strong emotional color. The characteristics of this lyric poem can be summarized as follows: 1. The shaping of lofty image; The second is the reconstruction of witch songs; The third is the use of symbolism. First, the shaping of lofty image Although the emotion expressed in Li Sao is the poet's own, strong and infectious, the characters in the poem do not take Qu Yuan himself as the protagonist, but create a unique image claiming to be a descendant of the gods. It is this divinity that makes the charm of poetry more magnificent.

He has the perseverance to forge ahead for a better ideal and strive to break through all difficulties. Nine deaths without regrets? ; He has a lofty spirit of contempt for all evil things and gives a fierce attack on those filth. This image of God makes the whole poem more concise and positive.

Second, the reconstruction of witch songs. Many of Qu Yuan's poems are based on folk witch songs, and they show their unique styles in the form of witch songs. Among them, Li Sao is the most brilliant and important one. It not only relies on witchcraft songs, but also fully reconstructs it, so that Li Sao is no longer limited by the form, theme and content of witchcraft songs, and becomes the poet's own emotional expression with originality.

Third, the use of symbolism The whole poem of Li Sao is carried out in a symbolic environment, just like the image of the descendants of the gods symbolizes Qu Yuan himself. All the experiences of the protagonist in the poem reflect Qu Yuan's life experience, such as the poet's political pursuit, such as the poet's abandoned experience, such as the portrayal of the poet's inner loneliness. ............................................................................
