About This Novel
The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poetry in ancient China. It collects poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle Spring and Autumn Period (11th century BC to 6th century BC). There are 311 poems in total. Six of them are Sheng poems, that is, they only have titles and no content. They are called the six Sheng poems (Nanmei, Baihua, Huashui, Youkang, Chongwu, and Youyi). They reflect the social outlook of about 500 years from the beginning to the late Zhou Dynasty.
