Let's look at this kind of poetry first. Zhou's epic "Daya Sheng Min" said: "There is no child in the Buddha. Emperor Xin, you stop, carry the shock of rewelding. Born with life, when the discipline. " This poem tells the story of Jiang Yuan, the ancestor of Zhou people. On the surface, this poem means that Jiang Yuan prayed to the gods to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven, so he followed the footsteps of the Emperor of Heaven and gave birth to his ancestor Hou Ji next week. However, according to the textual research of Mr. Wen Yiduo in "Research on Jiang Yuan Walking on the Great Man's Path": "The truth at that time was that he had sex with others and had a body. Later generations admit that he took the path of the giant, but he wanted to be different, but he took the path of the emperor. " Mr. Wen Yiduo first studied the Book of Songs with reference to Freud's sexual culture theory, which caused quite a stir at the beginning of the last century, and many rotten tomatoes were thrown. However, as time goes by, his research has been recognized by more and more scholars.

Another relatively rough and bold song is "Zhao Nan has a leaf that dies": "If a leaf dies, white hair will protect it. A woman fell in love with spring, and Ji seduced her. There is a park in the forest and a dead deer in the wild. White grass is pure, and there are women like jade. Comfortable and detached! I feel sorry for myself! Bark instead of being a donkey! " This poem basically depicts the scene of sexual intercourse realistically, which is very vivid. According to Mr. Yu Guanying's translation, this poem is translated as: The dead roe deer was left in the wild, and it was wrapped in white thatch. The girl was moved and the young man teased her. Small trees were cut down in the forest, and dead deer were lying in the ground, tied together with thatched ropes. Girl, like a beautiful jade. "Take your time, quietly! Don't touch my skirt! Stop the dog barking! " In addition, there are poems that implicitly describe fornication, such as Zheng Fengye and Creep, Feng Yan Sang Zhong and Zhao Nan Cao Cao.
So, why is there such a poem? To understand this, we should trace back to the ancient reproductive worship. In ancient times, there was a sacred ceremony called "Gao Yun". Anthropologists believe that Gao Qing's ritual sacrifices to Nu Wa, the "god of the media", because Nu Wa not only created human beings, but also taught them the way of marriage and childbearing. Because of the sacredness of sacrifice, "Zhong" was replaced by "Qi" with sacred significance. "The Book of Rites and the Moon Order" records "Mid-spring Moon" ... it is the moon, and the mysterious bird has arrived, so it is enshrined in the suburbs. The son of heaven went, the queen was handsome with nine arms, and the son of heaven ruled it. "That is to say, even the emperor will lead his concubines to Laihe Temple in the suburbs to hold a grand sacrifice and symbolically worship royal women, which shows that they are sacred. Daya Sheng Min tells the story of Jiang Yuan, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, who was barren at first, and then became pregnant in the ceremony of Gao Yun, from which Zhou people were born. Later, Gao Yun's ceremony gradually evolved into the wind of folk sexual intercourse, as recorded in Zhou Li: "Mid-spring moon will make men and women meet. So sometimes, runners can't help it. "
