The three schools that taught poetry in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty did not include Mao Zhuan.

The Biography of Mao, also known as Shi Mao, is the Biography of Mao in The Book of Songs. These three kinds of poems originated from China's poetics in the Han Dynasty, and are collectively referred to as Seven Rhymes, Rhymes and Chinese Poems. Because the three schools were all written in official script, which was popular in the Han Dynasty at that time, it was also called modern poetry. Representative poets are Yuan Gu, Shen Peigong and Han Ying.

Three Schools of Poetry Teaching in Early Western Han Dynasty

The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in ancient China, which reflects the social life from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the late Western Zhou Dynasty. Pre-Qin philosophers quoted a lot, and the standard used by Confucianism to speak standing was considered as Jin Dian.

By the first emperor's "burning books to bury Confucianism", Confucian Jin Dian was devastated, and a large number of Confucian ancient books, such as The Book of Songs, were not spared, and the old canon texts handed down from generation to generation in the early Han Dynasty were even rarer. It was handed down orally by Confucian classics, and later Confucian scholars recorded it as a book. Compared with ancient Chinese, the characters used are called "Confucian classics" because they are commonly used official scripts in the early Han Dynasty.

There were four scholars who studied the Book of Songs in the early Han Dynasty, namely, Shen Peigong, a representative of the Lu School, passed on Lu poems; Qi Renyuan, a representative figure of Qi School, made a biography of Qi poems; Han Ying, a representative of the Han school, inherited "Chinese poetry"; Mao Heng of Lu and Maoji of Zhao were passed down on behalf of the Maoists.

Among them, Lu, Qi and Han were selected as the schools of official studies, which were popular. The annotations of the three poems were of the same sex with tedious annotations, and they were all written in general official scripts, also known as "modern literary schools".
