By chance, I came across a book titled "You Have Cranes, I Have Peach Blossoms".
This book is a collection of some of the poems in the book, and then there is the author's interpretation and analysis, which is like a stream of fresh water that grows in the depths of the soul.
Then moisturize the fertile soil of the mind, broaden the horizons, and then see the peach, see the quiet girl its Shu, see reed reed pale, see the qin and se in the Royal, not quiet good, see the green dickey yo my heart ......
First of all, my overall understanding.
Baidu's explanation of the Book of Poetry is this: it is the beginning of ancient Chinese poetry, the earliest total collection of poetry, a collection of poems from the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, ***311, reflecting the social landscape of the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to the late Zhou Dynasty for about five hundred years.
The Book of Poetry is rich in content, reflecting all aspects of labor and love, war and corvée, oppression and resistance, customs and marriage, ancestor worship and banquets, and even celestial phenomena, landforms, animals, and plants, making it a mirror of social life in the Zhou Dynasty.
Mr. Jiang Xun said that poetry comes from the people, and art also comes from the people. If it is detached from the most basic things, art has no root.
Imagine, how can the imagination of a person's head compare to the vastness and light of heaven and earth.
A catchy ballad is used to truly depict the vast social scene and penetrate into all corners of the social life, and then dive into the hearts of the characters, either euphemistically or frankly, delicate and rich, beautiful and pure.
People have to admire the wisdom of our ancients, the shock of the national culture of the great essence.
Let's talk about my understanding of the influence of the Book of Psalms.
The influence of the Book of Psalms is undoubtedly enormous. I don't need to tell you that. Anyone who reads a little bit of sage books will find the shadow of the Book of Psalms in various places.
Confucius, Mencius, and many of the later emperors and generals were y influenced by it.
I looked up the information, the book was written in the middle of the Spring and Autumn period, the author has not been identified.
According to the legend of the creator, there was an official who collected poems during the Zhou Dynasty. Every spring, he would swing a wooden pole to collect folk songs, and then organize the works that could reflect the joys and sufferings of the people, and then hand them over to the master of the court (the official in charge of the music) to compose the music, and then sing them to the son of Zhou as the direction of governance.
Imagine the poet-collecting official shaking a wooden dowel, walking in the countryside in the spring, stepping on the trailing grass, looking at the dewdrops on the trailing grass, and then there is the beauty of a person, Wan Ruo-Qing Yang ...... I'm afraid that such a scenario he could not help but write a few lines himself, right?
There are also some cultured people, to see the scene written out, and then teach the countryside to sing, poetry officer heard, well this is good, and then embellish processing, presented to the leadership.
Many of the later poems were handed down in this way.
There is no author, is not know who the author is. Doing a good deed without leaving a name.
Thinking about that time, the cultural level of the working people was not high, and the cultural life would not be much rich, this is about the earliest cultural life, similar to the square dance we have today.
But it doesn't mean that they didn't have good emotions, beautiful wishes, and romantic love.
These were recorded by the people who had the heart to give us a true picture of the social style of the time, which is so precious.
Thanks to Zhou Tianzi, who made a very wise decision.
Otherwise, we would not be able to perceive how people lived 5000 years ago.
And then there's the beautiful context.
I was often struck by the mood of the poems even before I read the book.
This impressing is different from the feeling brought by other poems and songs.
When I read Guan Guan Ju, in the continent of the river, I was struck by the feeling of freshness, and later I even went to the place where the poem took place.
There are endless thatched bushes, crystal clear water, virgin springs with perennial springs gushing out from the sand, and endless lotus ponds. Surely a refreshing and pure place.
There are also green dickey, leisurely my heart, the word is used is excellent, fresh, read smoothly.
Reed reed, white dew for frost. The so-called Iren, in the water side. Such a feeling, like a dream, vivid and romantic, let a person's heart yearning.
The best music in the Royal, not good. The romantic, silent longing is not moving. As long as you grow old with your son, you will have no desire, the future can be expected.
There are also women in the Poetry Scriptures: My Fair Lady, Jing female its Shu, and Wan Ruoyu Qing Yang ...... look at these words, who do not like it is difficult, not to mention the man dreamed of seeking it.
The last is the unique form of the four poems, and a lot of meandering and repetitive, should be the need for music.
Just like our pop songs today, there is a first verse, a second verse, and a climax.
The poems are not very long, the tune is meandering, the semantic level is progressive, very pure, very simple, very beautiful.
Today, the most charming part of the Book of Songs is the names of people.
If you pay attention, you will find that, especially now that traditional culture is warming up, you can see beautiful names such as Jingshu and Wanqing everywhere in the roster of elementary school teachers.
In fact, the best ones to use are Master Jin Yong and Auntie Qiong Yao. The shadow of the Poetry can be seen everywhere in their works. Auntie Qiong Yao's name comes from "Poetry Classic - Guo Feng - Wei Feng - Papaya".
There is also the problem that there are too many rare words, and it is impossible to understand their meaning from the literal meaning.
In Biu Tsi Mei, I couldn't get the meaning of the word "摽有梅" (摽有梅), which means "plums falling from a tree".
The Chinese character Biu Tsi is not used much today, so I looked up the pronunciation on Baidu.
Chinese characters have evolved like many other things, and when they are used less, they naturally become rare.
All in all, the Book of Songs is really beautiful and worth reading.
A classic is a classic, and only the ones that have passed the test of time are truly authentic.
I'm ashamed to say that I'm not well educated, and my understanding of the national essence can only be so shallow. I'm not sure if you're a good person, but I'm sure you're a good person.
