The Book of Songs uses the technique of "Xing":
The Book of Songs is the beginning of China's ancient poetry and the earliest collection of poems, which collected poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (1 1 century to the 6th century). In the pre-Qin period, the Book of Songs was called "The Book of Songs", or it was called "The Book of Songs 300" by integers. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was honored as a Confucian classic, formerly known as The Book of Songs, which has been in use ever since.
The Book of Songs is rich in content, reflecting labor and love, war and corvee, oppression and resistance, customs and marriage, ancestor worship and feasting, and even astronomical phenomena, landforms, animals and plants. It is a mirror of the social life of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Book of Songs has a strong spirit of realism, the expression of fu, bi and xing, and the four-sentence style, with uniform arrangement, obvious chapters, balance, symmetry and restraint between chapters. Among them, the most distinctive is the structure of the complex chapter, with diverse rhymes, rich, vivid and concise language, which is very close to life and builds a monument of words.
The application of Fu, Bi and Xing is not only an important symbol of the artistic features of The Book of Songs, but also opens the basic techniques of China's ancient poetry creation. Fu, that is, telling the truth, is a poet who expresses his thoughts and feelings and related things in a straightforward way. For example, comparison means comparing one thing with another, and comparing one thing with another.
Xing is Xing, that is, objective things trigger the poet's emotions and cause the poet to sing, so "Xing" is often used at the beginning of poetry. Fu can be narrated or lyrical. Of the three, Fu is the foundation.
For example, July: April is beautiful and May is singing. Harvest in August and crush in October. A day to raccoon, fox, for the child. The next day, they were still the same, carrying martial arts and saying private words for the public.
In May, I moved my stock, in June, I was in the wild, in August, in the house, in September, 10, and crickets came under my bed. The dome suffocated the mice and stuffed them into the door. Hey, my wife, she said she wanted to change her age and entered this room.
In June, you will be depressed and bitter, in July, you will be hungry and bitter, in August, you will peel dates, and in October, you will get rice. Eat melons in July, break pots in August, and eat our farmers in September. In July, the poet described the working process of serfs from spring to winter according to the changes of months and phenology, which was related to Chen Qi.
