The main contents of the book of songs
The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems in China and one of the earliest collections of poems in the world. The Book of Songs was written in the 6th century BC. It collected 305 poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period for more than 500 years, and there were six of them. Pre-Qin called it "Poetry", or "Poetry 300" according to its number. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was honored as a Confucian classic, formerly known as The Book of Songs, and listed as one of the "Five Classics", which is still in use today.
Most of the authors of The Book of Songs cannot be verified, but it is certain that the authors include people from all walks of life, from aristocrats to civilians. Stylistically, The Book of Songs can be divided into three categories according to the nature of music: style, elegance and ode.

The national styles include Nan Zhou, Zhao Nan, Longfeng, Lang Feng, Feng Wei, Feng Wang, Zheng Feng, Qifeng, Weifeng, tang style, Qin Feng, Martin, Qifeng, Cao Feng and Zhuifeng 160. The fifteenth national wind is the local folk music in these areas, most of which are folk songs.
Yazheng, which belongs to the court music, is a musical song played at a court banquet or meeting. According to the different music, it is divided into "Elegance" 3 1 song, "Xiaoya" 74, "* * *"105. Except some folk songs of Xiaoya, most of them are works of noble literati.
The author of Daya is also a noble scholar, but he is also dissatisfied with the real politics. In addition to banquet songs, sacrificial songs and epics, they also wrote some satirical poems reflecting people's wishes. Xiaoya was born in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and moved eastward. Its content is partly the same as elegance, partly the same as national customs, and there are many good poems among them.
Ode is the joy of ancestral temple sacrifice, and the content is mostly to praise the merits of ancestors. The Book of Songs is divided into 31 Zhou Song, 4 Truffles, 5 Odes to Shang Dynasty and 40 * * *. Odes are all written by noble literati.
