Meet the Book of Songs
Literature遇见诗经
Hou Taier
The Book of Songs is the beginning of ancient Chinese poetry and the earliest poetry collection in my country. Confucius commented that "if you don't learn poetry, you can't speak". This book integrates the "wind", "elegance" and "song" famous articles in the Book of Songs, and tells the stories behind the Book of Songs in easy and smooth words. Through these ancient and simple poems, it presents readers with all aspects of love between men and women, people's livelihood, and national systems in the Book of Songs period. It shows an era that, although distant, resonates with our current life, and its pure, simple and warm emotional core.
