"National Style" is the essence of The Book of Songs, and it is a bright pearl in the treasure house of China ancient literature. The folk songs of Zhou Dynasty with "national style" reflect the real life of working people with colorful pictures, express their unfair treatment in the situation of exploitation and oppression and their belief in striving for a better life, and are the source of China's realistic poems. There are also many ballads satirizing and lashing the ruling class, such as Xintai, Nanshan and Zhu Lin.
In terms of artistic features, "wind" is a realistic creative method that describes things in simple language and reflects social reality with simple life pictures. In terms of image-building, Guofeng also has realistic artistic characteristics. The author can express his emotions by expressing the protagonist's inner feelings, and portray the protagonist's actions and personality characteristics. The "national style" is mostly four words and one sentence in form, which rhymes with other sentences, but it is not the same. Often break through the four-character specification. And a sentence with two words, three words, five words, seven words or eight words, such as Dai Tan, is a poem with miscellaneous words. These poems are full of emotional changes. It reads with a clear rhythm and a sense of music. The language of "national wind" is accurate, beautiful and vivid. The accurate and proper use of disyllabic words, reduplicated rhymes and reduplicated words adds artistic charm. The use of artistic techniques such as Fu, Bi and Xing has greatly enhanced the expressive force of "national style".
Both "Ya" poems and "Ode" poems are music songs used by the ruling class on specific occasions. They can't be compared with the "national style" with realistic spirit and people's nature in ideological content, but because they more or less reflect some aspects of social life, they also have certain social significance and cognitive value.
Fu, Bi and Xing are three artistic expressions in The Book of Songs, which are also called the Six Meanings of The Book of Songs together with style, elegance and ode. The so-called Fu and Zhu told the truth, that is to say it directly; The so-called comparison, Zhu said, is "comparing this thing with another thing", including the metaphor and analogy we are talking about today. The so-called xing, saying Zhu is "to say something else first, so as to arouse what is recited." For example, Nan Zhou's "Guanju" begins with "Guanju dove in Jiangzhou", which leads to "graceful and restrained". Because the line is often used at the beginning of the poem, it is also called line.
The sentence pattern of The Book of Songs is basically four words, which is relatively neat. In many articles, only a few words are often replaced between paragraphs, and some sentences are exactly the same, which have the structural characteristics of "linking chapters and sentences", giving people the feeling of singing and sighing repeatedly.
The Book of Songs is the first milestone in the history of China's poetry. It reflects the reality, criticizes the spirit of current politics, and expresses the artistic techniques of fu, bi and xing, which has a great influence on later poetry creation. Needless to say, Yuefu in Han and Wei Dynasties and folk songs of past dynasties were all influenced by it. Even the outstanding poets of various dynasties, such as Qu Yuan, Tao Qian, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Lu You, all learned nutrition from it and incorporated it into their own poetry creation.
