Dong Huang Tai Yi is the first of nine songs. It is a music song that Chu people sacrificed to the most noble god among the gods, that is, God. "Emperor" is the honorific title of God, and the Chu people set up temples in the East, so it is called East Emperor. "Taiyi" refers to the vastness of Shinto. Zhuangzi Heaven and Earth: "The Ether of the Lord." Cheng Note: "The name of the wife is vast. One is not the name of two, but the road is wide and unconstrained, including everything, which is called too one. " The whole poem is divided into three sections. The first section is an auspicious day to worship God with reverence. Write sacrifice scenes, focusing on the richness of sacrifice and the joy of singing and dancing; Finally, write a wish to the gods. The whole poem does not specifically describe the image of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but focuses on the warm scene of offering sacrifices to the gods, thus expressing piety and respect for the gods.
