The six arts in "The Book of Songs" refer to "wind, elegance, praise, poetry, comparison and excitement".
Expansion:
Feng, Ya and Song refer to the three categories divided by music in the Book of Songs. Feng refers to the national style, which is the folk songs of various countries during the Western Zhou Dynasty. Ya is the song of King Zhou's capital. King's capital was called Xia by Zhou people. In ancient times, Ya and Xia were the same, so it was called this. "Ya" is divided into Daya and Xiaoya, which are similar in meaning to the Daqu and Xiaoqu of later generations. Song means to describe and praise. It was a song used by the rulers at that time when they performed sacrifices. Fu, Bi, and Xing are literary creation methods that were first used in the Book of Songs. The Book of Songs pays attention to reality and expresses true feelings triggered by real life. It has strong and profound artistic charm. Whether it is in terms of form, language skills, or artistic image and expression techniques, it shows that my country's earliest poetry works have great influence in art. A huge achievement. The use of Fu, Bi, and Xing is not only an important symbol of the artistic characteristics of The Book of Songs, but also initiated the basic techniques of ancient Chinese poetry creation. Fu is a straightforward narrative, that is, the poet expresses his thoughts, feelings and related things in a straightforward manner. Comparison is a metaphor, comparing another thing to this thing. The poet uses it to express his emotions and use one thing as a metaphor. Xing refers to touching things and inspiring words. Objective things trigger the poet's emotions and cause the poet to sing, so it is mostly at the origin of poetry. Fu, comparison, and xing all played an important role in the description of scenery, image shaping, psychological description, and artistic conception formation in poetry, and later developed into commonly used creative techniques in poetry. "Wei Feng Shuo Ren" describes the beauty of Zhuang Jiang: "The hands are like catkins, the skin is like gelatin, the collar is like a cricket grub, the teeth are like gourd rhinoceros, and the head is like a moth's brow." The tender cogongrass buds, frozen oil, white The long beetle larvae, the white and neat flesh, the broad-breasted caterpillars, and the tentacles of silk moths are used to describe the fingers, skin, neck, teeth, forehead, and eyebrows of a beautiful woman. The image is delicate. The dynamic description of the two lines of "Qiaoxiaoqianxi, beautiful eyes look forward to" makes this beauty picture vivid and vivid. "The Book of Songs" is a work that uses the techniques of fu, comparison and elaboration most skillfully. It has reached the artistic realm of blending scenes and harmonizing things and myself, and has contributed a lot to the creation of artistic conception of later generations of poetry. For example, "Qin Feng Jian Jia": " The Jianjia is green, and the white dew is like frost. The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water, and the road is long. The Jianjia is in the middle of the water. Follow it when the road is blocked, and follow it when you are in the water. The so-called Yiren is in the stream of water. , Wan is drowning in the water.
