The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems in ancient China. It collected 365,438+065,438+0 poems before the Spring and Autumn Period, so it is also called "300 poems". The Book of Songs is divided into three parts, which are called "wind", "elegance" and "ode" respectively. The second part of Elegance consists of two parts: Elegance and Elegance. The "wind" part of The Book of Songs collected 160 folk songs of the vassal states at that time, so it is also called "national wind". "Wind" refers to the vassal states collected in the Book of Songs, that is, folk songs with regional characteristics produced within the jurisdiction of local political power. The word "elegance" in The Book of Songs, also called "Yuezheng", has a positive meaning, that is, Yuezheng, from which the so-called "elegance" came. Ya * * * collected 105 poems, including 3 poems of Ya and 74 poems of Xiaoya, most of which are noble works, which are quite different from folk songs, but some works of Xiaoya are still close to the folk songs collected by Guofeng. The content of "elegance" has the characteristics of describing the history of the Zhou Dynasty, as well as works praising the rule of the Zhou Dynasty and satirizing the royal family, which is different from the description of life feelings by "wind". The "Fu" in The Book of Songs is mainly used for offering sacrifices, so it is a poem praising the rulers. Later, it means praise, praise and praise. Therefore, it is not highly appraised by later generations, and it has not been repeatedly sung and quoted by scholars of past dynasties like "wind" and "elegance".

In modern Chinese, "elegance" means: dignified or elegant, especially dignified or elegant in appearance or behavior; Literally, it is the principle of poetry creation with China cultural characteristics established in The Book of Songs.
