2. China's poetic culture has never stopped for more than 3,000 years. It is one of the oldest literature in the world and the most important and splendid part of China culture. Among the three basic categories of literature-poetry, prose and narrative literature, China traditional literature has made outstanding achievements in poetry and prose. There is no first poem, only the earliest collection of poems, The Book of Songs, which is a realistic work.
3. Poetry culture can be divided into ancient poetry culture and modern poetry culture according to the time of its emergence.
4. In the ancient poetry culture, The Book of Songs, which is mainly composed of four words and repeated sentences, shows China's lyrical national literature characteristics. Since then, China's poetry has embarked on a road of expressing ambition, and lyric poetry has become the main form of China's poetry. The enthusiasm for reality, strong political and moral consciousness and sincere and positive attitude towards life in The Book of Songs are summarized as the spirit of elegance, which has become the most basic and far-reaching tradition of China's poetry.
