Therefore, the earliest recorded poems probably appeared in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties and the early Western Zhou Dynasty.
However, if we talk about the beginning, it is another concept. At the earliest time, because there was no paper, in order to facilitate the recording of various documents, letters, or sacrificial activities, human beings subconsciously compiled all kinds of information into rhymes and circulated them in the form of singing, which is probably the earliest origin of poetry. Therefore, from this perspective, the generation of poems and words should be basically contemporary.
In China, the formation of poetry began at least in the Xia and Shang Dynasties. :)
