Creation background
There are always different opinions about the theme and creative motivation of this poem, among which there are two diametrically opposite opinions: one is praise and the other is satire. Judging from the literal message, this poem is indeed a compliment to "the way of a gentleman, the body of a gentleman", without any thorn. However, due to the different angles of appreciation and understanding of literary works, if the negative article of this poem is positive, it can be prepared.
works appreciation
The poem consists of four chapters, all of which begin with the dove and her son, and actually contains two meanings.
One is the cuckoo, which is kind, urges spring ploughing everywhere, and feeds many birds impartially and selflessly. Second, pigeons, consistently, have the same integrity, which is in sharp contrast with those birds wandering in plum trees, jujube trees and various trees. This bird is not yet mature, so there are no certain rules of action. Therefore, the rise of each chapter is relevant and meaningful.
After each chapter rises, it turns to praise "the virtue of a gentleman, the virtue of a gentleman".
Chapter 1 As far as appearance is concerned, "as one" refers to consistent solemnity and dignity, including solemnity and neatness, rather than monotonous dress. On the surface, the instrument is just the outer packaging of human beings, but its essence is the exposure of human spiritual world. From the surface to the inside, the first chapter also praised the "sage" to enrich the firm and rock-solid inner world.
In the second chapter, at one end of the "clothes", ribbons and fur hats decorated with colorful beads and jade make the beauty of "clothes" concrete and vivid, which makes people draw inferences from one another and imagine the luxury and elegance of "Shu Ren gentleman".
Guo Feng Cao Feng the Pigeon is a poem in The Book of Songs, the first collection of poems in ancient China.
The Book of Songs is the beginning of China's ancient poetry. This is the earliest collection of poems. It collected the poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period (1 1 century to the 6th century), including 311poems, among which 6 poems are Sheng poems, that is, only the title has no content, which is called Six Sheng Poems (.
The author of The Book of Songs is anonymous, and most of them cannot be verified. They were collected by Yin Jifu and edited by Confucius. The Book of Songs was called "The Book of Songs" in the pre-Qin period, or called "The Book of Songs 300" by its integer. 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 divided into three parts: style, elegance and ode. "Wind" is a ballad that spread all over the Zhou Dynasty. Elegant music is the official music of Zhou people, which is divided into harmony and elegance. Ode is a musical song used for sacrificial rites in Zhou and noble ancestral temples, which is divided into ode to, and ode to Shang.
Confucius once summarized the purpose of the Book of Songs as "innocence" and educated his disciples to read the Book of Songs as their standard of speech and action. Among the pre-Qin philosophers, many people quoted The Book of Songs, such as Mencius, Xunzi, Mozi, Zhuangzi and Han Feizi. Quote the sentences in the Book of Songs to enhance your persuasiveness. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, The Book of Songs was regarded as a classic by Confucianism and became one of the six classics and five classics.
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.
