Basic explanation:

China's earliest poems. Formerly known as "Poetry", Confucianism is listed as one of the classics, hence the name "Book of Songs". Among them, there are 305 works from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, which are divided into three parts: wind, elegance and praise.

Wind is mainly folk songs around the country, which widely reflects the social life at that time, while elegance and ode are mostly works that reflect the life of the ruling class. The Book of Songs is mostly composed of four words and one sentence, with a large number of fu, bi and xing techniques, repeated chapters and sentences, and repeated singing. His ideological content and expression techniques have a far-reaching influence on later literature.

Example: Bai Juyi's poem "New Yuefu" and the realistic tradition in the Book of Songs come down in one continuous line.

Synonym: Poetry? [shēgē], poetry collection? [shjí].

The Book of Songs is the oldest book in China literature. Although judging from the nature, some fairy tales should have been produced earlier, as written records, it is a late thing.
