Creative background:
Xiaoya Luming Literature is a musical song written by Zhou Wang when he gave a banquet for ministers and guests. "Preface to Mao Poetry" said: "It is also a guest of Yan. Not only eat and drink, but also have money to show kindness, and then try our best to be loyal to the guests. "
In view of the different views in history, Deng Qinghong made textual research from two aspects: the theme of the poem and the time when it was written. He thought that the time when Xiaoya Luming Literature was written should be in the Zhou Xuanwang era in the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, and it should be a beautiful poem emphasizing "hierarchy and clan unity". This poem describes the grand occasion of the harmony and joy of the king's "guest of Yan State".
