The Six Classics refer to The Book of Changes, The Book of Songs, The Book of Songs, The Book of Rites, The Book of Changes and The Spring and Autumn Period. These six classic documents are one of the most basic and important classics in China's ancient traditional culture, and have played an important role in the development and evolution of China culture. These six ancient books were not written by Confucius, but existed long before Confucius. Confucius just did some sorting work on them. The Six Classics, edited by Confucius, is the most primitive literary classic in China and the crystallization of ancient wisdom.
The Book of Songs, also known as The Book of Songs, is the earliest collection of poems in ancient China. Collected 3 1 1 poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period (A.D.1to the 6th century), reflecting the social outlook of about 500 years from the early Zhou Dynasty to the weekend.
Shangshu, also known as Shangshu, is a political document hidden in the history of Zhou royal family. Shangshu can be divided into two categories in content, sacrifice category and war category. Stylistically, it can also be divided into two categories: upper sparse and lower imperial edict. The article structure of Shangshu is complete, with distinct levels. It pays attention to propositions and articles, and many chapters are full of literary talent.
Li, also known as Zhou Guan, is a set of laws and regulations system managed by Zong Bo, the royal family of Zhou Dynasty. Duke Zhou laid the foundation of Zhou Li in Li Le Luo Yi.
Yue is a musical work of the Zhou royal family. Some people say that "poetry" and "yue" are actually one. "Poetry" is a music song, and "Poetry" remembers words and "Music" scores. Yue Ji is an excellent collection of music in Xia and Shang Dynasties, which was compiled by Duke Zhou in Luoyi and revised by the royal musicians in Zhou Dynasty. Now that Yue has been lost, it is impossible to know its original appearance.
The Book of Changes is the theoretical source of natural philosophy and humanistic practice in China's traditional ideology and culture, the crystallization of China's ancient thoughts and wisdom, and is known as the "source of Tao". The content is extremely rich, which has had a far-reaching impact on China's politics, economy, culture and other fields for thousands of years.
Spring and Autumn Annals, also known as "or", is one of the six Confucian classics in ancient China, the first chronological history book in China and the national history of Lu in Zhou Dynasty. After Qin burned books, the national history of all countries died. In the Western Han Dynasty, scholars compiled Zuo Zhuan and Ram Zhuan by word of mouth. Confucianism in China believes that the above books explain the Spring and Autumn Annals written by Confucius.
