Guo Maoqian's Works and Their Influence
Guo Maoqian compiled 100 volume of Yuefu poems, which not only provided us with rich Yuefu poems, but also was an important work to study Yuefu poems. It can be said that scholars who have studied Yuefu since the Song Dynasty have gone beyond their scope.
Poems in Yuefu poems are classified by musical tunes, and some tunes have influenced the music of later generations. Yuefu Poetry Collection gives a detailed introduction and explanation of the origin, nature and musical instruments used in singing. These explanations in the book quoted many lost articles and preserved many precious historical materials. This is of great value to the study of the history of literature and music.
