The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poetry in my country, including folk songs and temple music dating from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. It is divided into three parts: Feng, Ya, and Song. It is said that Confucius once compiled it, and there are 305 existing poems in total. The content of "The Book of Songs" involves politics, economy, ethics, astronomy, geography, customs, literature and art, etc. It widely reflects the social life at that time and is known as the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Chinese Society". The Book of Songs has exerted a broad and far-reaching influence on the history and culture of our country and is a precious spiritual and cultural wealth of the Chinese nation.
