Extended data:

1 The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems and the beginning of China's ancient poems. It collected poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (pre 1 1 century to the 6th century), and there were ***3 1 1 poems, of which 6 poems were poems with only titles.

2. The earliest title of Shangshu was Shu, which was written in the first five centuries. The traditional Shangshu (also known as Jinwen Shangshu) was handed down by Fu Sheng. Textual research is the legacy of "Three Tombs and Five Classics" in ancient culture.

3. The Book of Rites, also known as The Book of Rites of Little Wear and The Sutra of Little Wear, is said to have been written by seventy-two disciples of Confucius and their students, and compiled by Dai Sheng, a ritual musician in the Western Han Dynasty. It is an important collection of laws and regulations in ancient China, with 20 volumes and 49 articles, which mainly records the ritual system in the pre-Qin period. It embodies the pre-Qin Confucian philosophical thoughts (such as the view of heaven, the view of the universe and the outlook on life), educational thoughts (such as personal cultivation, educational system, teaching methods and school management), political thoughts (such as educational politics, building a harmonious society, ritual criminal law) and aesthetic thoughts (such as the theory of things moving and the theory of harmony between rites and music). It is an important material for studying the pre-Qin society and a compilation of Confucianism.

4. The Book of Changes, one of the three changes (another point of view: the Book of Changes is three changes, not the Book of Changes), is one of the traditional classics, which is said to have been written by Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang, and its content includes two parts: classics and biographies. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination. The Book of Changes did not put forward the concepts of Yin-Yang and Taiji, but was influenced by Taoism and Yin-Yang theory. It contains seven languages * * * and ten quatrains explaining hexagrams, which are collectively called Ten Wings. It is said that it was written by Confucius.

5. The Spring and Autumn Annals, also known as Lin Jing or Lin Shi, is one of the six Confucian classics in ancient China. It is also the national history of Lu in the Zhou Dynasty, and the existing version was revised by Confucius. The language of events recorded in Chunqiu is extremely concise, but almost every sentence implies praise and criticism, which is called "Chunqiu brushwork" and "subtle meaning" by later generations. Later, there appeared many books that supplemented, explained and expounded the history recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals, which were called Biography. Representative works include Zuo Zhuan, Ram Zhuan and Gu Liangzhuan, which are collectively called the three great biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period.
