Contemporary characteristics of poetry and music
Due to the long history, the tunes of The Book of Songs have not been handed down. Today, people can only vaguely explore the musical structure of their songs from the poems. For example, in addition to the common four-paragraph and multi-paragraph words of opening, inheriting, turning and merging, there is also a chorus "segmented song" with the same lyrics after each chapter; Some also add an introduction before the main song; There is also a main song with an ending; Or there is both an introduction and an end; Stages of two different tunes alternate, and so on. The music handed down from ancient times in The Book of Songs was written by scholars after the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Book of Rites Biography by Zhu in Song Dynasty contains the score of Zhao Chuan's Book of Songs, which is said to be the music used in the ceremony of "drinking in the hometown" in Tang Kaiyuan (7 13 ~ 74 1). Its spectrum is spectrum, which is a word and a sound. Since then, Tsepu by Xiong Penglai in the Yuan Dynasty has included Twelve Poems of Elegance by Zhao (Xiong Penglai wrote Old Poems), and he wrote 17 new poems. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zai-□ also wrote quasi-music poems in the inner chapter of Lv Jingyi, the outer chapter of Lv Jingyi and the rural drinking poems. Nie Shuangjiang, Wang Shuangchi, Qiu Zhi and others in Qing Dynasty also made plans. In the fifty-third year of Qianlong reign in Qing Dynasty (1788), Li Hong (Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty) ordered eunuchs to compile the book of songs and published a voluminous book of songs. He ordered people to compile Hou Lv Zheng Yi, including Shi Pu. This kind of imitation from the court is more divorced from history than the songs written by literati and is not desirable.
