Let's look at these three parts separately.
Wind "wind" refers to the national wind.
There are fifteen national styles in The Book of Songs, namely Nan Zhou, Zhao Nan, Longfeng, Longfeng, Feng Wei, Feng Wang, Zheng Feng, Qi Feng, Feng Wei, tang style, Qin Feng and Martin.
Different scholars have different views on the specific definition of "wind".
The specific definition of "wind" in Preface to Mao Shi is "wind, wind, religion, wind movement and religious change"
Zheng Qiao's Six Classics and Olympics tries to explain the wind musically: "The sound of rustic wind is called the wind."
Zhu in the Song Dynasty also had a similar explanation: "Wind is a poem of folk songs."
Most modern scholars agree with Zhu's view that "wind" means "local wind", that is, local music in different regions.
"Wind" has many contents, mainly expressing four emotions:
First, express the people's desire to resist exploitation and oppression and their pain and disgust at labor and military service. For example, "Vatan" exposed the unreasonable phenomenon of society at that time, and raised doubts and protests against people who ate without working. Tang Tiyu wrote the people's cries of pain under heavy corvee. Dongshan describes the ruined countryside after the war, reveals the misery and pain brought by the war, and expresses the people's desire for peace and working life.
Second, eulogize labor. For example, "Feng Wei between ten acres" sings the joy of picking mulberry girls in labor and the happy mood after labor.
Third, express patriotic feelings and expose the ugly face of the ruling class. For example, she expressed Mrs. Xu Mu's lofty patriotic spirit of saving the motherland from peril. The mouse mercilessly attacked the ruler.
Fourth, love songs that express love and poems that reflect the fate of women's marriage. Zhao Nan Zhuomeiyou describes a woman's eagerness for love for fear that her youth will soon pass away. She is bold, provocative and sincere.
Elegance is divided into size. There are 74 articles in The Book of Songs and 3 1 article in Daya.
"Preface to Mao Poetry" holds that: "Elegance is right, which means reason is abolished. Politics is small and big, so there are "Xiaoya" and "elegance". This means that there are big and small differences in political affairs, so "elegance" also has big and small differences. " Elegance "refers to government affairs.
Zhu, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, thought that "it's just pleasure, and elegance is just pleasure, which was forbidden by Chen."
Fang Yurun explained "elegance" from the style, tone and content of the original poem "The Book of Songs", and thought that "Xiaoya" was a work to give answers and express feelings. "Elegance" is mainly influenced by Chen Jie and the meaning of heaven and man. "
Modern scholars mostly explain it from the perspective of music. It is said that "elegance" means "piano sound", which is the joy of Qin land. Saying "Ya" is borrowed as "Xia", which refers to the place where Xia people live, that is, the Wang Ji area in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Ya Yin is Xia Yin, that is, the music songs in Wang Ji area in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Ode is a kind of dance music in ancestral temple, which mostly praises the achievements of ancestors.
There are 40 poems, including 3 poems of Zhou Fu, 4 poems of Lu Fu and 5 poems of Shang Fu. These are the works of noble literati.
In terms of time, most of Ode to Zhou was completed in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
