The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems in China.

The Book of Songs is a collection of poems produced at the end of the slave society in China, including The Book of Songs, The Book of Songs and the Bible. From the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, the social outlook of about 500 years has been reflected here. There are 305 ancient poems collected here from BC 1 1 century to the 6th century, of which only 6 are left, and there are no poems. The author of The Book of Songs collected and arranged for Confucius. It was not until the Western Han Dynasty that the Book of Songs, which was called "Confucian classics", began to be called "poetry". "Wind" is a ballad of Zhou Dynasty. "Elegance" is the official voice of Zhou people; There are "Xiaoya" and "Daya" to choose from; Ode can be divided into three types: Zhou Song, Truffle and Shang Ode. "hymn" is a musical song used by Zhou and noble ancestral temples for sacrifice. The Book of Songs is a mirror of social life in the Zhou Dynasty, reflecting labor and love, war and war, oppression and resistance, customs and marriage, ancestor worship and feasting, and even astronomical phenomena, landforms, animals, plants and so on. China's earliest collection of poems is The Book of Songs, which is the earliest collection of ancient poems in China and one of the most important collections in the history of modern poetry in China. There are three kinds of poems in the poem: wind, elegance and ode. The wind is dominated by folk songs, 160, full of ideological significance and artistic value. Ode is a song sung by the ruler when he held a ceremony in the ancestral temple. There are 40 poems in Zhou Song, Lu Song and Shang Song, one of which is about the Lord and the other two are about God. The form of poetry is basically a relatively neat four-sentence poem, and the commonly used techniques are Fu, Bi and Xing. The excellent tradition of China's poetry began with the extensive and profound description and reflection of the realistic spirit in The Book of Songs.
