The Book of Songs is the earliest poetry collection in my country. It was written around the Spring and Autumn Period. It is the result of folk songs collected by poetry collectors in the Zhou Dynasty and collective creations of aristocratic literati. It is divided into three parts: "Wind", "Ya" and "Ode", totaling 305 articles. All aspects of ancient people's emotions, scenery, customs and other secular life, as well as political, military and other major events, are all recorded in poems. "The Book of Songs" is the Chinese people's enlightenment book of Chinese studies. It not only teaches people to understand society, but also learns to speak and write. The simple and warm emotions of the ancients still allow modern people to empathize and achieve spiritual growth. This edition is a hardcover version fully translated by the young writer Koiwai, with full-color illustrations of famous objects from the Book of Songs, taking you directly to the source of classical aesthetics and feeling all the poetry of life.
