Why do so many people write poems? What's the use of writing poems?

Poetry has a long history in China, stretching for thousands of years. Before the Book of Songs came into being, poetry was widely circulated among the people, with a distinct sense of the times and people's nature, and its creators were ordinary working people.

There was no mechanization at that time. This is all manual labor. Think about it, in the middle of the Warring States period, iron was used; Saw was invented in Luban period. People only used simple tools to work, leaving only a cavity of blood. A group of people, shouting slogans and sweating like a pig. This slogan, written in a notebook, became a poem.

At that time, poetry was practical.

1: The song of calling at work. Just to keep everyone clean and tidy. For example, the tug-of-war at school and the songs of boatmen are all for this purpose.

When I was a child, I heard the floor porter shout, "Come on!" ? Hey, hey ~, lift it? Hey hey ~, move on? Hey yo ~ ... "There are no fixed words, but the tone is fixed. This kind of thing can't be called "singing", it should be called "shouting" or "yelling". For example, the development of Shaanxi opera now.

2. vent your dissatisfaction. While working, I cursed the ruler in my mouth in order to find a psychological balance to vent, such as "cutting sandalwood"

3 :? Praise for love, yearning for a better life. For example, "Guan Yu": Guan Yu follows the pigeon, and in Jiangzhou, a gentle and graceful lady is a gentleman; "Rolling Ear Map": Peach blossoms wither, burning their brilliance, and Yizi returns home. These sentences are still catchy and have a strong sense of rhythm.

4? :? Is to record sacrificial activities. Sacrifice is an important event in all dynasties. Sacrifice is not useless, it can solve many psychological problems, just like later religions.

"Who am I? Where is the land I come from? Where am I finally going? Why am I like this? Why is he like this? What should I do? Why should people live? Why do people die? ..... "Anyone who can't find the answer in real life will get the answer in religion.

With the gradual development of society, productivity has also improved, and more and more people have money and social status. When people are rich, they don't worry about eating and drinking, and they have a lot of leisure.

Especially in Chu state, people there are prone to have strange ideas; Later wizards, Taoist priests, fortune tellers and fortune tellers almost all originated here.

The upper class of Chu society, represented by Qu Yuan, is not short of money, has vivid minds, thoughts and talents, and has created a number of works, which are called Chu Ci.

Because they are not for productive labor, these people are educated and educated, and they have a free and unrestrained personal imagination. Their imagination is magnificent, their writing techniques are exaggerated, and they are full of passion, mostly to express their personal thoughts and feelings. These poems are romantic.

The appearance of The Book of Songs and Songs of the South marks a higher stage of poetry from folk collective singing to poet's independent creation.

Since modern times, especially before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been many excellent poems that are concerned about the country and the people, express their feelings of liberation, boost morale and describe the scenes of people's struggle.

Modern people live comfortably, and there are even fewer excellent works. Most of them are like watching flowers and rain, mountains and rivers, and having an affair. The purpose is to show their jealousy and care for their fragile blx.

This is also a feeling of trivial things in life!

The above is just my personal opinion, and I'm not studying this. I'm just saying.
