Why did China attach so much importance to poetry in ancient times

Why do China people advocate poetry and ceremony? Why does Confucianism attach so much importance to the education of poetry? Because there is pain in life, especially those engaged in political and social work, they often have contact, suffering and trouble. People in China, in particular, attach great importance to moral cultivation, and it is more painful not to go home. What's the difference between a hero and a saint? Heroes can conquer the world, but not themselves. Saints don't want to conquer the world, but conquer themselves; Heroes give their troubles to others to pick up, and saints themselves pick up all the troubles in the world. This is the traditional spirit of our China culture. I hope everyone can fulfill the responsibility of being a saint and become a great politician.

Engaged in politics, encountering the troubles of life, westerners classify it as religion; In the past, there was no special religion in China. Everyone has the cultivation of poetry, and the cultivation of poetry is religious emotion. No matter what troubles can't be solved, he wrote two poems himself, and then let out his feelings and play them out. At the same time, the cultivation of poetry is the cultivation of art. A politician should have both the poet's feelings and the poet's cultivation. We can see from history that ministers in the past, regardless of civilian military commanders, took up a pen, wrote a word, read a book and recited a poem after returning to China, and all the troubles in their chests were solved. Unlike people who play mahjong or dance on the table now. This kind of training is different from the previous training, far from it.
