The content can be divided into three parts: wind, elegance and praise. "Wind" refers to the national wind, which reflects the life of the lower working people; "Ya" is a poem about the seat of the city of Zhou Dynasty. Ode is a kind of music song, which reflects the sacrifices of kings and princes and other important ceremonies.
From the perspective of expression, it is divided into three parts: Fu Bixing. Fu is a direct narrative description; Comparison is metaphor and analogy; Xing is a sense of rising;
It laid the foundation of China's classical realistic literature in history and was later listed as a Confucian classic.
The Book of Songs is based on the life in the Western Zhou Dynasty and reflects the local social situation and social outlook at that time.
For example, Storytelling: "Storytelling, I have no food! I have served you hard for years, but you don't care about me. Vowed to get rid of you and go to a happy land. Happy land, I won my place. " It truly reflects the people's miserable life, exposes the essence of the ruler's parasites, accuses the people of their sufferings, and shows the injustice to society and the dark and decadent phenomenon of the ruling class.
For example, "Guanluo": "Guanluo dove, in Hezhou, is a gentle and graceful lady, and a gentleman is good." It reflects the poet's yearning for a lady and his praise and pursuit of beautiful love.
The Book of Songs also embodies the ritual and music civilization of the Zhou Dynasty, involving all aspects of life, from dressing and eating to war sacrifice. There are also a lot of descriptions of ritual and music culture in The Book of Songs. For example, Qin Feng praised Qin Jun in "The End of the South": "A gentleman is above everything, and clothes are above everything". On the surface, it refers to clothes, but in fact, it is to praise people by clothes.
There are also many descriptions of flowers, birds and animals in the Book of Songs, which compare feelings with physical properties and reflect the harmony between man and nature.
It can be seen that the Book of Songs is rich in content, profound in meaning, and unique in sentence patterns. It takes the oath as the main language, rich in syllables and catchy in words, which has a far-reaching impact on China literature in later generations.
