How does The Book of Songs reflect the ritual and music culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty?

The structure of "The Book of Songs" is divided into three parts: "Ode to Fengya". "Feng" refers to local music, so it is also called "national style". Most of them are folk songs from various places. There are fifteen national styles 160

articles.

"Ya" is the music of the central location of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the music of the areas directly ruled by the Zhou Dynasty.

*** 105 articles, including Xiaoya: 74 articles; Daya: 31 articles.

"Song" is a song and dance used in ancestral temple sacrifices, that is, a song and dance song used during sacrifices (to worship ancestors or gods).

The content of "The Book of Songs" is divided into sacrificial and epic poems, agricultural poems, Yan feast poems, resentment poems, conquest poems, marriage and love poems, and other contents (allegorical poems, family-related poems, homesickness poems, etc.) From the system to the content, we can

It can be seen that the Book of Songs is inseparable from the ritual and music culture of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

For example: Among them: And the criticism of the two kings Youli.

The upper class of the Zhou Dynasty had frequent banquets, and banquets were held on many occasions. Banquets were an indispensable part of etiquette and activities. The etiquette of banquets was even sublimated into the policy of governing the country and bringing peace to the people. Therefore, Yanxian poetry is an important part of the etiquette and music culture.

There are many reflections on this in "Xiaoya".

For example, "Lu Ming" is the first poem in "Xiaoya" because this poem conforms to orthodox values ??and reflects the core of the spirit of ritual and music.

Here, the main function of banquets is the value of "beautiful politics".

The institution of marriage occupies an important political position in the Zhou Dynasty, so it must also be reflected in the Book of Songs.

The fact that "Guan Ju" ranks first among the 300 chapters illustrates the importance of the harmony between husband and wife.

The whole poem vividly and vividly expresses the importance of a gentleman's pursuit of a lady to the principles of the family, and highlights the importance of the principles of the family to the principles of the world.

The feelings of family and country in the national style are also reflected in the feelings for the country, which is the sublimation of the love for the homeland. For example, Mrs. Xu Mu in "The Wind Zai Chi" traveled thousands of miles to save the country. In the final analysis, it is a strong feeling.

An expression of affection for the clan and country.
