How did the poems written by ancient poets come down?

Poems recited casually are not recorded by ordinary people unless they are written by celebrities or dignitaries. Some thoughtful poets will record it in time after chanting, and good poems will be circulated among people and handed down. There are also many poems written, especially those long poems.

The ancients revered poetry, and sometimes even worshipped poetry, especially those who could not write poetry. They are the main force of poetry inheritance.

Because there was no advanced printing technology in ancient times, the ancients attached great importance to copying and recording, which is also the main reason why many characters can be circulated to the present.

Folk chronicles have only played a role in the scope of circulation, and long-term preservation has contributed to the official collection and compilation. Officials in almost every dynasty organized large-scale editing activities.
