1, The Book of Songs

China's oldest poetry collection, The Book of Songs, is a realistic poetry collection. It contains 305 poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, about 1 100-600 BC, among which 6 poems are full of poems, and there are only topics but no poems, so it is also called "Poems 300". In four or five hundred years, there were only folk songs (wind), literati works (elegance) and gods (ode). According to the use and music, it can be divided into three parts: wind, elegance and ode, in which wind refers to folk songs from all over the country, elegance is court music, and ode is dance music used by Zhou Tianzi and princes to worship ancestral temples. The Book of Songs is mainly characterized by Fu, Bi and Xing. Among them, Qi is called Fu; The metaphor is called ratio; Let's talk about something else first to arouse what we are singing. The expression of The Book of Songs can be divided into six meanings: Fu, Bi, Xing, Feng, Ya and Song. The Book of Songs is mainly composed of four words and miscellaneous words.

The contents of this poem include:

Wind (fifteen national winds: Nan Zhou, Iraq [bè i], Yan [yūng], Wei, Wang, Zheng, Qi, Wei, Tang, Qin, Chen, Gui [hu], Cao and Yi [bê n] are the majority. "Wind" includes folk songs from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shandong and northern Hubei (Qi, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin). It is called "The Wind of Fifteen Countries", 160, which is the core content of the Book of Songs. "Wind" refers to rural wind and wind ballads.

Elegance (the second kind of elegance: elegance and nobility)

"Elegance" is formal music, that is, music songs when nobles enjoy banquets or princes attend meetings. According to the music layout, it can be divided into "Daya" and "Xiaoya", with 105 poems, including "Daya" with 3/kloc-0 poems and "Xiaoya" with 74 poems. Of course, most of them are works of literati, but there are also many words in Xiaoya that are similar to wind and ballads, such as yellow birds, going their separate ways, valley wind, why the grass is not yellow and so on.

Fu (three songs: Zhou Song, Truffle, Shang Ode)

Ode is a sacrificial music, which is divided into 3 1 Zhou Song, 4 truffles, 5 commercial songs and 40 * * *. Originally, it was a musical song to praise the gods or ancestors when offering sacrifices, but all four poems of Truffle are to praise the living and beautiful Lu Xigong, and there are also flattering poems in Shang songs.
