China Classical Literature Suitable for Recitation

China classics suitable for reciting are as follows:

The book of songs is preferred.

The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in China, with a total of 305 poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period (there are 6 poems of sound, which are omitted). Formerly known as "Poetry", it was regarded as a classic by Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, but it was called "The Book of Songs", also known as "Poetry 300".

He initiated the excellent tradition of realism in China's ancient poetry creation. The content in The Book of Songs, in terms of its original nature, is the lyrics of songs. Mozi Meng Gong said, "There are 300 ode poems, 300 string poems, 300 song poems and 300 dance poems." It means that there are more than 300 poems, all of which can be recited, played with musical instruments, sung and accompanied by dances.

"Historical Records Confucius Family" also said: "Three hundred and fifty poems were written by Confucius, in order to combine Shao, Wu, elegance and praise." Although these statements are still possible to be discussed, there is no doubt that the Book of Songs was closely related to music and dance in ancient times.

Secondly, Tang poetry.

Needless to say, there are a series of historical stories to prove all this, that is, geisha were proud of singing the poems of frontier poets, and poets also used how many people could sing their works and which famous geisha were as indicators to measure their influence.

This is also the main way of "publishing" Tang poetry in those days. Since you can't even sing, let alone recite.

Of course, there are Song Ci.

You can feel how delightful it is from Dongpo's poem entitled "Looking up, I find it is moonlight"!
