Discussion on Confucian poetics in past dynasties

Among the pre-Qin philosophers, Confucianism is the school that attaches the most importance to poetry and poetry teaching. The foundation of this tradition was laid by Confucius. Once, Chen Kang asked Kong Li, the son of Confucius, did you hear any unusual teachings in front of your father? Kong Li replied, "No, carp tasted independence and hurried through the field, saying,' How about learning poetry?' Yes:' Not yet.' There is nothing to say if you don't study poetry. Carp retired to learn poetry.
