The history of poetry can be traced back to shortly after the appearance of language. Huainanzi? Xun said: "Today, if a person is holding a big tree, he will first call' evil promise' and then respond to it. This is a song of persuasion. " It can be seen that the labor chant in Primitive Labor is the most primitive poem, and Lu Xun dubbed it "Yu Hang Yu Hang School" (on foreign languages). "Lu Chunqiu? The ancient music also said: "In the past, Ge Zhile, three people fucked the oxtail and cast their feet with songs. "It can be seen that the original poems and songs are inseparable, and they are closely related to music and dance. However, due to the lack of written records, most of these original poems have disappeared. Most of the ballads recorded in some ancient books in the so-called times of Shennong, Huangdi and Yaoshun have been polished by later generations, or even works in disguised form, but some works have retained the original flavor of ancient times, such as "Slingshot" in Volume 9 of Wu Yue Chun Qiu, which says: "Broken bamboo, continued bamboo, flying soil, one by one (the ancient word" meat "). It shows the hunting process from cutting bamboo slingshots to projectiles hitting prey with simple rhythm.
