What are the three parts of the Book of Psalms based on music

The Book of Poetry is divided into three parts based on music: Feng, Ya, and Song.

1. Wind: This part is the most central part of the Book of Songs, including folk songs and ballads from 15 vassal states, ****160 pieces. These songs and ballads mainly reflect the social life, people's feelings and customs at that time, and are the most popular and realistic part of the Book of Songs.

2. Ya: This part includes the poems of the court and the aristocracy in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the early Spring and Autumn Period, and there are 105 poems in this part. The subjects and contents of the poems in this part are relatively wide, including politics, morality, mythology, history, etc. There are both poems reflecting the social reality of the time and poems glorifying the late kings of the Zhou Dynasty and the aristocratic class.

3. Ode: This part includes 40 poems for rituals, mainly reflecting the religious beliefs and ritual activities of the upper class at that time, and is the most solemn and mysterious part of the Book of Songs. These poems are based on the themes of praise, supplication and thanksgiving, and use rhyme and rhythm to express people's reverence and faith in the gods.

Influence of the Book of Poetry:

1. Laying down the unique form of Chinese poetry: The Book of Poetry, with its distinctive poetic styles and forms, such as quatrains, pentameter, hexameter, and so on, as well as its themes of reflecting the social realities, expressing emotions, and praising the nature, has provided a model and a source for the later generations of poetic compositions. Subsequently, both Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and Yuan operas developed on its basis, forming a unique Chinese poetic tradition.

2. Reflecting a wide range of social life: The content of the Book of Songs covered all classes of society in the Zhou Dynasty, reflecting various aspects of the society at that time, such as politics, economy, culture and customs. Whether it was the poetry of the court nobles or the songs of the people, they all expressed a wide range of social life in their real and vivid forms. This provided rich materials and inspiration for Chinese literary creation.

3. Reflecting the values of Chinese culture: The themes and contents of the poems in the Book of Songs reflect the values of traditional Chinese culture, such as loyalty, filial piety, fraternity, and respect for the elderly. These values have been widely inherited and carried forward in later generations of Chinese culture. The poems in the Shijing also show reverence and gratitude for nature and emphasize the harmony between human beings and nature, which also lays the foundation for the ecological concept in Chinese culture.

4. Influence on world culture: The Book of Songs has not only had a far-reaching influence on Chinese literature, but has also had a certain impact on world culture. Some poems in the Poetry Scriptures have been translated into many languages, such as English, French, German, etc., which have had an impact on world literature. Meanwhile, the study of the Poetry Scriptures has become a popular field worldwide, attracting many scholars and researchers.
