Collected poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (1 1 century to the 6th century) for about 500 years. (In addition, there are six poems with no content, that is, no words, which are called poems), also known as "Three Hundred Poems". The pre-Qin dynasty was called "Poetry", or the integer was called "Poetry 300". In the Western Han Dynasty, it was honored as a Confucian classic, formerly known as The Book of Songs, which has been in use ever since. Mao Heng in Han Dynasty annotated The Book of Songs, so it was also called Mao Shi. Most of the authors of the poems in The Book of Songs cannot be verified. The area involved is mainly the Yellow River Basin, starting from Shanxi and eastern Gansu in the west, southwest Hebei Province in the north, Shandong in the east and Jianghan Basin in the south. Poetry is inseparable from music.
Writing process
The earliest works of The Book of Songs were written in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to the history books, anger was written by Zhou Gongdan. A batch of bamboo slips of Warring States in Tsinghua University in 2008 (referred to as Tsinghua bamboo slips for short) recorded that people celebrated drinking after defeating Li Guo, and the impromptu poem "Cricket" was closely related to the existing "Book of Songs tang style". The latest work was written in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. According to Zheng Xuan's Preface to Poetry, it is Martin Zhu Lin, which spans about 600 years.
