The author of The Book of Songs is anonymous, and most of them cannot be verified. They were collected by Yin Jifu and edited by Confucius. In the pre-Qin period, the Book of Songs was called "The Book of Songs", or it was called "The Book of Songs 300" by integers. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was honored as a Confucian classic, formerly known as The Book of Songs, which has been in use ever since. The Book of Songs is divided into three parts: style, elegance and ode. Techniques are divided into Fu, Bi and Xing.

Confucius (5565438 BC+April 479 BC165438 BC+479 BC), surnamed Kong, was born in Taocheng, Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his ancestral home was Li Yi (now Xiayi County, Henan Province), a great thinker in ancient China.

Confucius initiated private lectures and advocated benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. There are 3,000 disciples, including 72 sages. He led some disciples to travel around the world for fourteen years, and revised the six classics (poetry, calligraphy, ceremony, music, Yi, Spring and Autumn) in his later years.
