5. Jing Yue:
There was a music classic in the pre-Qin period. This theory is not only found in the handed down document Zhuangzi Tianxia, but also confirmed by Guodian Bamboo Slips. Liu De, a bamboo slip in Guodian, said: "It is also important to watch poetry books, rites and music, and Yi Chunqiu." Yu Cong, another piece of bamboo slips, also has the language of Six Classics.
There are many opinions about the spread of Jing Yue. One is that Jing Yue has died of the Qin fire that burned books and buried Confucianism; The other is always in Chun Guan; Another reason is that there is no Jing Yue. The view that "Jing Yue died in Qin fire" is more credible and has been accepted by most people.
6. Spring and Autumn Annals:
Spring and Autumn Annals is a literary work of ancient history in China. Also known as Chunqiu Jing, Lin Jing or Lin Shi. Later, there appeared many works that supplemented, explained and expounded the history recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals, which were called Biography. Representative works include Zuo Zhuan, Ram Zhuan and Gu Liangzhuan, which are collectively called the three great biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The language of events recorded in Chunqiu is extremely concise, but almost every sentence implies praise and criticism, which is called "Chunqiu brushwork" and "subtle meaning" by later generations. It is one of the classic Confucian Classics in ancient China, the first chronological history book in China and the national history of Lu in Zhou Dynasty. The existing version is said to have been revised by Confucius.
