Extended information
Creation background:
This poem was written after Lu Xigong defeated Huai Yi. Huai Yi lived in the Huai River area at that time, and was not sealed by the Zhou Dynasty, which posed a threat to the governors of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, various vassal States made many expeditions. In these battles, although the meritorious military service is not great, Lu is a weak country, and it can start from time to time and compete for the Central Plains. Therefore, the Lu people look forward to Xi Gong and sing praises.
Theme of the whole poem:
This is a long narrative poem praising Lu Nuo's fair determination of Huai Yi's martial arts, praising him for inheriting his ancestors' career, equating Huai Yi and becoming his martial arts.
Origin of the work:
The Book of Songs, the earliest collection of poems, is the beginning of China's ancient poetry. It collects 311 poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (from the 11th century to the 6th century), of which 6 poems are Sheng poems, that is, there are only titles but no contents, and they are called six Sheng poems (Nanxun and Bai).
The author of The Book of Songs is anonymous, and most of them have been unable to be verified. They were collected by Yin Jifu and edited by Confucius.
The Book of Songs is rich in content, reflecting labor and love, war and corvee, oppression and resistance, customs and marriage, ancestor worship and banquets, and even astronomical phenomena, landforms, animals and plants. It is a mirror of social life in the Zhou Dynasty.
