Make an appreciative comment

According to documents, Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties all created a grand set of music and dance at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the unification of the world, in order to commemorate the achievements of the founding of the People's Republic of China, repay the gods and ancestors, establish the prestige of the new dynasty and inspire future generations. The success of Yu Xia's water control led to the Great Wu after the unification of Daxia and Shang Tang and the destruction of Yin. These music and dances have become the noblest and noblest ceremonies of three generations.

According to legend, "Da Wu" of the Zhou Dynasty was written by the Duke of Zhou, and it consisted of six songs and dances. Before the song and dance began, there was a drumming sequence. The six scenes of singing and dancing are called "60%" and "six chapters" from the perspective of music. Sixty-four dancers are divided into eight rows, with eight people in each row, which is called "Bashu". 60% of Dawu reproduces six major events in the process of the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and combines with the Shang Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty to form a complete process of leveling the world. Because the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the result of military conquest, martial arts was the main way to perform and reproduce the war scenes. According to the Book of Rites and Music, Confucius explained the historical events of 60% of the Great Martial Arts as follows: "The Great Martial Arts of Chef started in the north; No matter how successful it is, it will ruin the business; 30% and south; 40% and the south is Xinjiang; 50% points, Zhou Gong left, Zhao Gong right; 60% compound interest, thanks. (Gao Feng's textual research on the military music of the Zhou Dynasty is read as "Fu Bian Bai Di". ) Zheng Xuan made a specific explanation of this account: "At first, it was like watching soldiers, and later, it was like three times if you had spare capacity, four times if you invaded the south, five times if you were the Duke of Zhou, calling for posts to govern the country, and six times if you were a soldier to revive the brigade. "According to Zheng Xuan's explanation of Confucius' words, 60% of Dawu is divided into two parts, the first 30% is to reproduce the achievements of destroying the merchants, and the last 30% is to reproduce the achievements of Zhou and Zhou Zhaoer in governing the world and realizing world peace. This is exactly the same as that described in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals and Ancient Music": "The King of Wu ascended the throne, and the six divisions attacked Yin, but the six divisions did not arrive, so he took sharp soldiers to Muye, returned to recommend and escaped to the imperial court, and ordered Duke Zhou to write" Da Wu ". Li rebelled, and the King of Qi ordered the Duke of Zhou to behead him. Businessmen took pictures, and in order to abuse Dongyi, Duke Zhou followed the teachers one by one. As for Jiangnan. It is "Three Elephants" to show its virtue. "

Ode poems are all temple music, and the so-called "description of beauty and goodness tells the god of success" (Preface to Mao Shi). This article is no exception.

"Preface to Mao Poetry" said: "Time goes by", and the firewood is patrolled. "What is a patrol? Zheng Xuan wrote: "The prince of Wu established the world and conducted his country, which is called patrolling. "What is Chai Wang? That is, firewood sacrifice and hope sacrifice. The firewood sacrifice is to burn firewood to worship heaven, and the hope sacrifice is to worship distant mountains and rivers. Therefore, Confucius thought it was "A Tour of Songs to Sacrifice Heaven" and Zhu's Biography of Poetry thought it was "A Tour of Songs to Sacrifice Heaven". The peak of modern people, more precisely, is "the music song sung by the king of Zhou looking at the mountains and rivers" (note in the Book of Songs). There is little difference between other poets in ancient and modern times, but there is no big difference. However, a close study of poetry is to praise the feudal princes, impress all parties, appease the gods, suppress Wu's writing style, and carry forward the achievements of the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty. It should be a musical song sung in the ancestral temple.

The Twelfth Year of Zuo Zhuan Gong Xuan said: "The King of Wu made peace with the Shang Dynasty and wrote Ode, saying:" Take soldiers, ... allow the king to protect it. Zhou Yu's On Mandarin also said: "The Duke of Zhou (that is, Duke Ji Dan of Zhou) said:' Fight a battle, ... and allow Wang Baozhi. ""It is said that it was written by the Duke of Zhou after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty in Zhou Wuwang and the pacification of the world, which is generally credible. The whole poem is only called "Wang" and "Jun", and posthumous title's "Wu" is not used. It also says "Let Wang Wei be the queen" and "Imperial edict to ascend the throne", etc. These are the eulogies of King Wu when he was alive.

The whole poem consists of fifteen sentences, which are divided into chapters with Zhu's Biography of Poetry. He Kai's The Book of Songs in Ming Dynasty is divided into two chapters, with Youzhou in Zhao Ming as the second chapter, and Yao Jiheng's General Theory of The Book of Songs in Qing Dynasty. However, a closer look at the poem shows that the first half praises Wu Wang's martial arts and the second half praises Wu Wang's literary treatment, which means coherence. If it is divided into chapters, "not only the chapters are uneven in length, but also the style is tight and slow" (Fang Yurun's "Book of Songs" original text), so it is better to say that from the old to the old.

On the basis of Zhou tribe's inheritance initiated by ancestor Ji Chang, and with the assistance of Lu Shang (Jiang Ziya), he joined forces with many surrounding tribes to attack Yin and prosper Zhou, and won a complete victory in the battle of Konoha. Then seal the governors to screen the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its achievements are praised by later generations. There are many chapters in the Book of Songs that praise and praise him, which is also in line with historical truth.

This poem is described by "Fu". At the beginning, it was said that Zhou Wuwang's feudal vassal states were not only recognized by the emperor, but also regarded them as their own sons, and their roles were "Right Order and Zhou". "God has no relatives, supplemented by virtue", which first shows that King Wu has a destiny. Secondly, it is said that it can not only shock all directions, but also appease the gods, so his succession, "Zhao Ming has a week", can carry forward the brilliant achievements of Zhou ancestors. Then he wrote that after King Wu pacified the Yin Zhou Dynasty and prospered the Zhou Dynasty and feudal princes, he fought, bent his bow and arrow, and suppressed Wu Xiuwen, and said with admiration: We are pursuing the virtue of governing the country, and King Wu has put this virtue into practice in all directions of the world. In the last sentence, I always praised King Wu for keeping his destiny and his father's virtue, which echoed the first sentence. It can be seen that this poem is uneven in meaning and coherent in tone from beginning to end, but it is full of ups and downs, and the lines between the lines are full of the author's deep and admirable feelings. It takes the connection between fate and Zhou Wuwang as the main line of the whole poem, focusing on praising Zhou Wuwang's martial arts, with distinct levels and tight structure. This is one of Song Ya's most bloated and inflexible poems. In Chen Zizhan's Book of Songs, Sun Yun, a famous person, was quoted as saying: "The first two sentences are very strong and fast, just like sitting in a hall and facing the world." There are two plates, one is Xuanwei and the other is Wude. They all start with "You Zhou" ... The wording is the oldest and the most embarrassing. "This is in line with the writing characteristics of this poem.

Extended reading:

The Traditional Influence of The Book of Songs

The Book of Songs has a lofty position and far-reaching influence in China literature, which has laid a fine tradition of China's poetry and thus formed the national characteristics of China's poetry art.

First, realism and traditional spirit.

The Book of Songs is based on real social life, without fantasy and grotesque, and there are few supernatural myths. Sacrifice, feasting and farming described are the products of social economy, etiquette and music culture in Zhou Dynasty. The description of the current situation, war corvee, marriage and love shows the political situation, social life, customs and people's feelings of the Zhou Dynasty. This "hungry people sing about their food, and laborers sing about their affairs."

Second, the tradition of lyric poetry

Since the Book of Songs, lyric poetry has become one of the main forms of poetry.

Thirdly, elegance and literary innovation.

The enthusiasm for reality, strong political and moral consciousness and sincere and positive attitude towards life in The Book of Songs were inherited and carried forward by Qu Yuan, and were summarized as the spirit of elegance by later generations.

Later poets often advocate the spirit of elegance to carry out literary innovation. Chen Ziang lamented Qi Liang's "elegance", while Li Bai lamented that "elegance is not long enough, who can fail me?" Du Fu is "unconventional and elegant", Bai Juyi called Zhang Ji "elegance is better than fashion and never tasted empty talk", and many outstanding poets in the Tang Dynasty inherited the spirit of elegance. Moreover, this spirit extended from Lu You in the Song Dynasty to Huang Zunxian in the late Qing Dynasty.

Fourth, Fu Bixing's example.

The expression of "Fu, Bi and Xing" in The Book of Songs has been inherited and developed in the creation of ancient poetry, which has become an important feature of China's ancient poetry. The Book of Songs also proves the artistic creativity of working people with vivid facts. The overlapping forms and accurate, vivid and beautiful language of folk songs in The Book of Songs have been widely absorbed and used by later poets and writers. The Book of Songs, with its profound social content and beautiful artistic form, attracts the attention and reference of later scholars to folk songs. The flexible and diverse poetic forms and vivid and rich language of The Book of Songs have also had an important influence on various genres of literature in later generations. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Cao Cao, Ji Kang and others all studied the Book of Songs and wrote four-character poems. Literary rhymes such as fu, fu, admonition and inscription are also related to the Book of Songs.

The birth of The Book of Songs (including its generation, collection and compilation) first created a new style of China's poems-four-character poems. Before the Book of Songs, although poetry was born, it did not have its own fixed style, and it was still in oral form, generally dominated by two words; It was in The Book of Songs era that China's poetry really laid its own creative pattern and formed a relatively stable style. That is to say, the real start of China's poetry began in The Book of Songs era.

The Book of Songs not only established the first tangible historical stage of China's poetry-four-character poetry, but also influenced the poetry creation of later generations: First, the five-character poetry of later generations, especially the five-character poetry, was a breakthrough and extension on its basis; Second, even in the era of May 7th, there are still many four-character poems written by authors, which follow the form of The Book of Songs.

In terms of the rhythm of poetry, The Book of Songs has also set a precedent for later poetry, especially in the rhyming form and voice of poetry, which provides a paradigm and mode for later poetry and has important value and significance in poetry creation.

More importantly, The Book of Songs created the artistic style of portrait in its creation-it vividly portrayed and expressed the characteristics of things, people and society with its simple, true and vivid language, artistically reproduced the essence of society, and provided a model and reference paradigm for later literary creation (especially poetry creation). Specifically, The Book of Songs painted a vivid picture of social history for that time and later generations, truly reflected the face of ancient society, eulogized the industriousness and courage of ancient people, lashed the meanness of the ruling class, and left a three-dimensional and figurative picture of history for later generations. It is a rich and vivid ancient encyclopedia.
