Coincidentally, I came across a book "You have creeping weed, I have peach blossom".
In this book, the author collects some chapters in the Book of Songs, and then interprets and analyzes them. It reads like a clean stream and grows in the depths of the soul.
Then it moistened the fertile soil of my mind and broadened my horizons. Then I saw the peach blossom withering, the quiet girl, the lush life, the harps and harps in the palace, all quiet and safe, and the green flowers lingering in my heart. ...
First of all, let me talk about my overall understanding.
Baidu's interpretation of The Book of Songs is as follows: It is the beginning of China's ancient poems and the earliest collection of poems, which collected 3 1 1 poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, reflecting the social outlook of about 500 years from the early Zhou Dynasty to the weekend.
The Book of Songs is rich in content, reflecting labor and love, war and corvee, oppression and resistance, customs and marriage, ancestor worship and feasting, and even astronomical phenomena, landforms, animals and plants. It is a mirror of the social life of the Zhou Dynasty.
Mr. Jiang Xun said that poetry comes from the people and art also comes from the people. Without the most basic things, art has no foundation.
Imagine how the imagination in one's mind can compare with the vastness and strangeness of heaven and earth.
With catchy ballads, it truly depicts a grand social scene, permeates every corner of social life, and then sneaks into the hearts of characters, either tactfully or bluntly, delicate and rich, beautiful and pure.
People have to admire the wisdom of our ancients and the profoundness of our shocking national culture.
On the influence of the Book of Songs as I understand it.
The influence of The Book of Songs is undoubtedly enormous. I don't need to say this. Anyone who has read a little sage books will find the shadow of the Book of Songs everywhere.
Confucius, Mencius and later emperors and princes, as well as many others, were also deeply influenced by them in poetry and songs.
I checked the information and found that the Book of Songs was written in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the author has not been able to verify it so far.
According to legend, the creator had an official who collected poems in the Zhou Dynasty. Every spring, he shakes Muduo and goes deep into the folk to collect folk songs. After sorting out the works that can reflect people's joys and sorrows, he gave them to the Taishi (the official in charge of music) to compose music and sing them to the Zhou Emperor as the direction of governance.
Imagine a poetry collector shaking Muduo, walking in the spring countryside, stepping on the creeping weed, looking at the dew on the creeping weed, and then there is a beautiful man, graceful ... I'm afraid he can't help but write a few words himself.
There are also some literate people who write down what they see and then teach people in the countryside to sing. As soon as the poetry collectors hear it, well, it's good, so polish it and present it to the leaders.
Many later poems were handed down in this way.
Without the author, we don't know who the author is. Do good deeds without leaving a name.
Think about the working people's cultural level is not high at that time, and their cultural life will not be rich. This is probably the earliest cultural life, similar to our square dance today.
But it doesn't mean that they don't have good feelings, good wishes and romantic love.
All these were recorded by a willing heart, which truly showed us the elegance of the society at that time. How precious.
Thanks to Zhou, his decision is simply too wise.
Otherwise, today, we can't perceive how people lived 5000 years ago.
Then there is a beautiful artistic conception.
Before reading this book, I was often moved by the artistic conception in the poem.
This impression is different from that brought by other poems and songs.
When I read Guan Guan's White Dove, I was moved by the fresh and refined feelings of the river continent, and later I went to the place where this poem took place.
There are endless grass, crystal clear water, virgin spring of spring water that gushes from sand all the year round, and endless lotus pond. This is really a fresh and pure place.
There is also a green scorpion that lingers in my heart. This word is excellent, fresh and refined, and easy to read.
The Millennium is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the water side. This feeling is dreamlike, vivid and romantic, which makes people yearn for it.
The harp is in the imperial court. Keep quiet. Quietly romantic, quietly longing. As long as you grow old with your son, you can expect the future.
There are also women in the Book of Songs: there are my fair lady, quiet woman and graceful girl ... It is hard for anyone not to like these words, let alone a man's dream.
Finally, it is the unique four-character lattice of The Book of Songs, and it is circuitous and repeated a lot, which should be the need of composition.
Just like our popular songs today, there is a first paragraph, a second paragraph and a climax.
The Book of Songs is short in length, circuitous in tune and progressive in semantic level. It is pure, simple and beautiful.
Today, the place that best embodies the charm of The Book of Songs is the name of the person.
If you pay attention, you will find that, especially with the revival of traditional culture, beautiful names such as Jing Shu and Wan Qing can be seen everywhere on the roster of primary school teachers.
In fact, the best are Master Jin Yong and Aunt Qiong Yao. The shadow of The Book of Songs can be seen everywhere in their works. Aunt Qiong Yao's name comes from the Book of Songs, the national style and Feng Wei's papaya.
Another problem is that there are too many uncommon words to understand their meanings literally.
I don't understand what it means that plums fall from trees.
And we don't use much today. We didn't know the pronunciation until we checked Baidu.
Chinese characters have evolved like many of our things. If you use it less, it will naturally become an uncommon word.
Generally speaking, The Book of Songs is really beautiful and worth reading carefully.
Classics are classics, and what can stand the test of time is the real thing.
Shame is that I just don't know anything, and my understanding of HTC's quintessence can only be so superficial. Welcome to comment with axe.
