Pinyin of The Book of Songs

Interpretation of The Book of Songs;

China's first collection of ancient poems. Collected 305 poems from the early years of the Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (before the 6th century). It can be divided into three categories: wind, elegance and praise. "Wind" is taken from folk music, "Elegance" is the music near Wang Du, and "Ode" is the music to worship ancestors and gods. All poems can be sung, but the score is no longer passed on. Its content reflects the hunting of rulers, the luxurious and dissolute life of aristocratic groups, the people's working life and marriage and love. The form is mainly four characters, and the artistic expression techniques of Fu, Bi and Xing are adopted.

Introduction to The Book of Songs;

The Book of Songs as a whole is an image reflection of China's social life during the 500-year rise and fall of the Zhou Dynasty, including the ancestor's entrepreneurial ode and the movement of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods; There are also banquet exchanges between nobles and resentment against uneven work and rest; There are also touching chapters reflecting labor, hunting and a lot of love, marriage and social customs. ?

There are 305 existing poems in The Book of Songs (except 6 Kubinashi orders, ***3 1 1), which are divided into three parts: abundance, elegance and fu.

Wind, a folk song all over the country, is the essence of the Book of Songs. It sang beautiful things such as love and labor, and also sang regret and anger at homesickness and anti-oppression and anti-bullying. Often repeated chanting through repeated superposition. Each chapter in a poem is often only a few words different, which shows the characteristics of folk songs. ?

Ya is divided into Ya and Xiaoya, and most of them are poems that offer sacrifices to nobles, pray for a bumper harvest and praise their ancestors. The author of Daya is an aristocratic scholar, but he is dissatisfied with the real politics. In addition to banquet songs, sacrificial songs and epics, he also wrote some satirical poems reflecting people's wishes. Xiaoya also has some folk songs.

Ode is a poem dedicated to the ancestral temple. The poems in Ya and Ode are of great value to the study of early history, religion and society.

In the above three parts, 40 articles were assigned, including Ya 105 (6 articles without poems, not counting), with the largest number, * * * 160, totaling 305 articles. The ancients took its integer and often said "poetry is 300".
