The Book of Songs is a collection of poems produced at the end of China's slave society. It is the beginning of ancient Chinese poetry and the earliest poetry collection. It collected 305 ancient poems from the 11th century BC to the 6th century BC, and 6 "Sheng Poems" with only titles but no verses, reflecting the social outlook of about 500 years from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The author of "The Book of Songs" is unknown. It is said that it was collected by Yin Jifu and compiled by Confucius. At first it was only called "Shi" or "Three Hundred Poems". By the Western Han Dynasty, it was revered as a Confucian classic and was called "The Book of Songs". The Book of Songs is compiled into three categories: "Wind", "Ya" and "Song". "Wind" is a ballad from various places in the Zhou Dynasty; "Ya" is a formal song of the Zhou people, and is divided into "Xiaoya" and "Daya"; Song", "Song of Lu" and "Song of Shang".
The Book of Songs is rich in content, reflecting labor and love, war and corvee, oppression and resistance, customs and marriage, ancestor worship and banquets, and even celestial phenomena, landforms, animals, plants and other aspects. It is a masterpiece of Zhou Dynasty A mirror of social life.
