The position and influence of The Book of Songs are as follows:

Status:

1 and The Book of Songs laid the national cultural tradition of China's poetic artistic creation.

The most developed in ancient Greece were epics and plays. China is the most developed country in lyric poetry. The editing and writing of The Book of Songs established the tradition of China's lyric poetry and established his national cultural characteristics.

As can be seen from the Book of Songs, China's lyric poetry creation is popular from the beginning, and it is a mass art, which looks at the society from the secular, the group from the individual, the life from the accident and the history from the life. This is the cultural tradition of China's poetry laid by The Book of Songs.

2. The Book of Songs laid the foundation of China's poetic language.

The basic form of The Book of Songs is four fonts. This is the origin of other poetry genres in later generations. Dr. Han's basic sentence pattern is four or six words, which is the result of drawing materials directly from poetry and Sao style.

Parallel prose evolved from Han Fu shows its far-reaching influence on later literary forms. The style of Chu Ci, which flourished after the Book of Songs, has an indissoluble bond with four-character poems, such as Qu Yuan's famous works Tian Wen and Ode to an Orange, and its basic sentence patterns are directly derived from the style of the Book of Songs.

Impact:

1, political influence

The Analects of Confucius once said that "if you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say", which shows that the Book of Songs played an important role in social communication at that time. The Book of Songs once played an important role in China's diplomatic occasions. "Wen Xin Diao Long" says, "Watch the Spring and Autumn Annals, satirize the old chapters, be proud of being drunk, and blend in."

It is said that in diplomatic occasions, quoting the sentences in the Book of Songs can, on the one hand, express one's knowledge and accomplishment, on the other hand, achieve diplomatic purposes.

2. Literary influence

Most of the poems in The Book of Songs are lyric poems. Even epics like Bull express the thoughts and feelings of ancestor worship. The Book of Songs established the tradition of China's lyric literature with its hundreds of lyric poems.

In later generations, no matter Tang and Song Ci or Song and Qing Ci, lyricism was the main theme. Lyricism has become the mainstream of China literature, laying a very developed tradition of China's lyric literature.

The artistic skills of The Book of Songs;

1 and fu

Fu is directly say one thing. Zhu explained, "The memory inheritor told his story and said frankly." For example, "July" is a direct expression of working life in all seasons of the year, involving all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"In May, I moved stocks, in June, I shook my feathers, in July, I was in the wild, in August, in the house, in September, 10, and crickets came under my bed" are all plain and direct descriptions, directly pointing out what I want to show.

2, than

Metaphor is equivalent to metaphor. The usage of metaphor in The Book of Songs is varied. There are comparisons all over the capital, such as Storytelling. The whole poem compares the slave owner to a greedy and hateful fat mouse, "Shuo Shuo, I have no food!" I am willing to care about a three-year-old woman. " By contrast, combined with repeated sentences, the anger of the masses at that time was written.

3. Xing (surname of China)

Xing is xing, that is, talking about other things at the beginning of a poem to draw out what the poem is about. Zhu Ziqing said that "Xing" in Yan Shizhi has two meanings, one is beginning, the other is metaphor, and together it is "Xing".

Therefore, Xing is inseparable from Bi. In fact, in the Book of Songs, "Xing" is often used with "Bi", such as "Bi Xing". It is not only a "peach death", but also a metaphor of a happy family with many children and grandchildren.

Of course, Xing and Bi are the same, but at the same time they are different. For example, "the mandarin duck was caught in the beam and slapped its left wing." The sentence "A gentleman should be happy for a long time" is of little significance. However, it is worth noting that although Xing can recite irrelevant things or not be regarded as comparison, it is essentially the same as comparison, both of which are figurative thinking, symbolizing the unity of mind and matter.
