2. Elegance and literary innovation The enthusiasm for reality, strong political and moral consciousness and sincere and positive attitude towards life in The Book of Songs were inherited and carried forward by Qu Yuan, and were summarized as the spirit of elegance by later generations. Later poets often advocate the spirit of elegance and integrity to carry out literary innovation.
Fu Bixing set a good example. The expressive techniques of Fu, Bi and Xing in The Book of Songs have been inherited and developed in the creation of ancient poetry, which has become an important feature of China's ancient poetry. The Book of Songs also proves the artistic creativity of working people with vivid facts. The overlapping forms and accurate, vivid and beautiful language of folk songs in The Book of Songs have been widely absorbed and used by later poets and writers.
