The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in the history of China literature, which contains 305 poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period. The so-called "six meanings" in The Book of Songs refers to three poetic forms of "style, elegance and ode" and three expressive techniques of "fu, bi and xing".
Wind, elegance, praise, fu, comparison and glory. Among them, the style, elegance, ode, creator and region are different. Zheng Qiao said: "The voice of local customs is the wind, the voice of the imperial court is elegant, and the voice of the ancestral temple is ode." (See Tongzhi Preface for details. ) Fu refers to a straightforward narrative, which is a metaphor. Xing means to say something else first, and then draw out what the author wants to write with the help of association.
