The recently hit Legend of Mi Yue, I believe everyone is fascinated by its plot. While chasing drama, let's learn about The Book of Songs, which has the highest appearance rate in The Legend of Mi Yue.
The Book of Songs is China's first collection of poems and the starting point and source of China's ancient poems. Mainly classified according to the characteristics of music, that is, wind, elegance and praise.
The time range of The Book of Songs is roughly from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, 500 years from1century BC to the 6th century BC.
The Book of Songs has distinct regional characteristics. Its origin is centered on the North Yellow River Basin, extending southward to Jianghan Basin, covering most of China at that time.
It is difficult to verify the authors of most articles in The Book of Songs, and only a few articles mention the authors. This is mainly because the chapters in The Book of Songs have been modified by Wang Guan and musicians in the Zhou Dynasty, and they have the nature of collective creation.
It is said that most of the strokes and elegance in The Book of Songs were specially collected by Zhou Tianzi in spring and autumn every year in order to understand the sufferings of the people and adjust the policy plan.
However, in Historical Records of Confucius' Family, Sima Qian believed that 305 poems in The Book of Songs were compiled and edited by Confucius from more than 3,000 ancient poems circulating at that time.
This statement is not necessarily accurate, because in some documents earlier than Confucius' time, there have been songbooks with the same chapter and order as the Book of Songs.
The name "The Book of Songs" came into being only after the Han Dynasty, because there were four famous schools of thought, namely Lu, Qi, Han and Mao, who were good at teaching 300 "The Book of Songs", and all of them were formally established as scholars by the imperial court. The Book of Songs, Zhouyi, Book of Rites, Shangshu and Chunqiu have become Confucian classics that scholars must learn. Since then, The Book of Songs
The Book of Songs is rich in themes and contents, covering all aspects of ancient people's social life. Specifically, it is divided into the following parts:
1. Zhou Tribe Epic In The Book of Songs, there are five national epics of Zhou Tribes: Sheng Min, Gongliu, Mian, and Daming. These poems praised the achievements of Hou Ji, Gong Liu, Wang Tai, Wang Ji, Wang Wen and Wu Wang, and reflected the founding history of the Western Zhou Dynasty, including many myths.
For example, the life of Hou Ji, the ancestor of Zhou Dynasty, is not only vividly written, but also reflects the historical background of matriarchal society entering paternal society, which is very precious.
Jue gave birth to the people and became Wei Jiangyuan.
What about strangers? Sacrifice is a blessing, and there are no children.
Emperor Xin, you stop, carry the shock of rewelding.
Have children and live in Hou Ji.
Today is my birthday, my husband.
No disassembly, no vice, no harm. Yi he Jue ling
God is restless, can't worship, have a son.
Birthday alley is written by cattle and sheep.
A flat forest, born to be cut down.
The ice and snow at Christmas are covered with birds.
The bird left, but Hou Ji spoke loudly.
The truth is true, and the voice carries the word.
Second, praise and resentment In the Book of Songs, the poems of praise and praise are concentrated in "ode" and "elegance". These hymns are usually divided into two categories: one is to praise the achievements of Zhou, his ancestors and famous generals; One is to bless or praise the skills, morality and appearance of aristocratic figures.
The poem of complaining about thorns, also known as "changing wind" and "changing elegance", was written by the world because of the decline of kings, the collapse of rituals, the incompatibility between politics and religion, and the abolition of human relations. It was about the weekend in the west and the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
For example, in "Elegance", some royal ministers or upper-class aristocrats ridicule current politics, aiming at satirizing "Elegance" and "Elegance"; Some frustrated middle and lower-class bureaucrats in Xiaoya bemoaned the ill-fated and euphemistic Xiaoya Xiang Bo.
Most of the resentful poems in Guo Feng come from the people, which directly reflect the thoughts, feelings and wishes of the lower class. Their content is deeper and wider, their resentment is stronger, their satire is sharper, and they have a frank and direct critical spirit that can't be compared with both refined and popular tastes. For example, Feng Xin Li Taiwan exposes and ridicules this ugly behavior:
The new terrace is bright and brilliant, and the river flows eastward.
I wanted to marry a Mr. Right, but he was an ugly toad.
The new tower is tall and magnificent, and the river flows eastward.
3. Love poems reflect the chapters of marriage and love life and occupy a large proportion in The Book of Songs. They are not only numerous, but also rich in content, including love songs reflecting the love between men and women, poems reflecting wedding scenes and family life, and poems expressing the pain brought to women by unfortunate marriage.
These works are mainly concentrated in the "national style" part, which is an important part of the Book of Songs and the most exciting and moving chapter. Such as "peak essence Nv":
This quiet girl is so cute that she will come to the corner of my town.
Deliberately hiding for me to find, scratching my head.
The quiet girl looks good. Give me a tong tube.
Red has a bright red color. Love it is really a bright color.
This country exploits me, Meili Yi and is rare.
It is not as beautiful as weeds, and beauty gives people deep affection.
Fourthly, there are many agricultural poems in The Book of Songs that reflect agricultural production and working life. The most outstanding work in agricultural poetry is July.
This poem reflects the agricultural labor life of the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty all year round, involving food, clothing, housing, transportation and other aspects, and shows the genre paintings of the society at that time from all sides. The poem describes in detail the cultivation of millet, millet, hemp, wheat and other crops, planting mulberry and sericulture, textile printing and dyeing, hunting and tanning and other agricultural production activities.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) conscription poems in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, the influence of the royal family in the Zhou Dynasty is declining, the governors are constantly attacking, and nomadic tribes such as Rongdi are constantly invading, and the people's conscription burden is heavy and unbearable. Therefore, it has become a common theme in conscription poems, such as Xiaoya Cai Wei and the ending of Zhang Yun:
Recalling the original exploration, the wind in Yang Liuyi was blowing in the wind; Now back on the road, snowflakes are flying everywhere.
The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry.
The road is muddy, hungry and thirsty.
Full of sadness, full of sadness, who experienced my sadness!
With the softness of willow branches and the misty coldness of rain and snow, the poet vividly shows his nostalgia for his family in the past and his fear and sadness of returning today.
