The traditional classification of the Book of Psalms is

What does the Book of Poetry include? According to the ancient classification, it includes three main parts, wind, elegance and ode. In terms of artistic expression, there are three more, fugue, bi and Xing. Wind, elegance, ode, fugue, than, rise, is the so-called "six meanings of poetry", which should know a little bit before reading "Poetry".

So what is "wind"? Open the "Classic of Poetry", whether it is the ancient people annotated, or modern people annotated, the first part of the "Zhou Nan", followed by "Zhaonan", and then after the "name", "name", "name", "Wei", followed by the "king", "Zheng", "Qi", "Wei", "Tang", "Qin", "Chen", "Jun", "Cao", "Bin", a **** fifteen parts.

The "country" of the "Fifteen State Winds" was originally called "state". Whether it is "state" or "country", the concept is not quite the same as today's, "fifteen countries", in fact, is the Zhou Dynasty's fifteen regions. In other words, the "winds" were divided into regions, and some of these "states" were states, while others were not. These regions roughly include the Yellow River basin and the Jianghan region. To be more specific, the Yellow River passes through Shaanxi and Shanxi, then turns eastward and flows downstream to Henan, Hebei, and the Qilu area, and finally enters the sea. In this line, the Zhou dynasty vassals, to name the big ones, are Qin and Jin (i.e., the land of Wei and Tang wind and poetry), Zheng (the land of Zheng Feng and Juniper wind), Wei (the land of name, name, name, name, name, name and three winds of Wei), the states of Cao, Qi, and Lu, etc.; the area of the Wang Feng and the land of the Zhou Nan and Zhaonan, which are part of the area, are also belonging to the Yellow River along the coastline.

Further south and southeast, one is the area where the Han River meets the Yangtze River, and there is also the area along the Huai River, which is also shown in the poems, and some of the chapters of Zhounan and Zhaonan are related to these places. The southern boundary of the Guofeng territory does not cross the Yangtze River. However, the vast area from the border of Shaanxi and Gansu in the west to the land of Qilu in the east, from Hebei in the north to Jianghan in the south was roughly the extent of the Zhou dynasty's power, with many feudal lords, and it was the center of "Huaxia" at that time.

Let's review the six meanings of the Book of Songs:

Let's analyze the original meaning of "wind" a bit more. In ancient times, there was a phenomenon known as the "Law of Blowing Wind". What was the law of wind blowing for? To determine the season. This was recorded in the Eastern Zhou literature. When spring comes, it's time to plow the land. So, which day is the best time to plow? This requires specialized judgment, and the way to do it is to blow the windpipe. The so-called "ryutong" is almost the same as the later flute. Who played the pipes? The records say that it was "goze," a kind of blind entertainer.

We know that under different temperatures, air pressures, and humidity levels, pipes of the same length will produce different tones. Ancient people blew rhythms according to this principle to determine the arrival of a certain festival. Chinese culture is an agrarian civilization; moreover, Chinese agrarian civilization was established in a monsoon climate region, so farming places special emphasis on seasonality. Any farmer is much more sensitive to seasonal familiarity than an urbanite. When to plant wheat, when to plant melons and beans, the season is very delicate. It's all about blowing the pipes and measuring the seasons.

Please note that because the wind is related to the season, and the ancients believed in the spirit of heaven and earth, the "wind" is very mysterious. Mr. Guo Moruo has a book called "Bu Ru Tong Fan", which says that the oracle bone inscriptions have the following statement: "wind" is the same as "

This is the first time that the word "wind" has been used in the Chinese language.
