From the content, the first chapter undoubtedly shoulders the responsibility of summing up the whole poem. The whole chapter begins with a bird's-eye view from a year of cold to spring ploughing, and comprehensively summarizes the working life of the bottom workers throughout the year. This chapter can be regarded as the general chapter of the whole poem, which lays a relatively rough but holistic tone for the detailed description of various aspects in the following chapters. Here, we can introduce what Zhu said in Biography of Poetry:? The first part of this chapter begins with words and clothing, and the second part begins with words and food. Chapter two to chapter five, the meaning of the previous paragraph. Chapters six to eight, the meaning of the last paragraph. ? From this, we can not only see the rigor of chapter structure, but also emphasize? Clothes? With what? Food? Same? Plough? With what? Knitting? The close relationship between these two basic contents of agricultural production. In the meantime, it is also generally mentioned that serfs often have to work hard without food all year round. Finally, Tianguan's face lit up with no sympathy, which also reflected the author's dissatisfaction with the social class relationship at that time.
The second and third chapters describe the mulberry picking and spinning work of peasant women in detail respectively. The young and beautiful appearance of women makes them worry about whether they will lose their personal freedom and be humiliated because of the overbearing aristocratic son; Women try to weave colorful silks, but unfortunately, these silks can't be used to dress themselves. All the fine silks and satins have become the clothes of noble sons. ? Those who wear Luo Qi are not silkworm farmers. ? What I want to express may be such a bleak situation.
The fourth chapter first describes the monthly farming, but after the farming is over, the serfs still have no chance to breathe, and they must hunt wild animals for the rulers. Shoot the fox, right? For childe Qiu? ; The fat boar is dedicated to the ruler, and the thin one can only stay. This paper once again describes the class relationship at that time, trying to inspire readers to realize that there are relations between exploitation and exploitation, oppression and oppression between the lines.
The fifth chapter first vividly describes the alternation of different insect species every month, and then describes in detail the whole process of cleaning and repairing your shabby house, and then you can officially go back to the house for the winter until the cold weather passes.
Chapters 6 and 7 can be read coherently. In addition to basic agriculture, serfs also engaged in various sideline businesses for the rulers to enjoy. Then, after farming, they must build houses for the rulers. However, the harvests in July, August, September and October, whether rich in fruits or grains, must all be handed over to the rulers, collected and sent to the aristocratic warehouses. The serfs didn't have enough to eat, so they had to cook some bitter vegetables with firewood to feed themselves. As soon as the grain was put into storage, luxurious rooms were built for the nobles, which was in sharp contrast with the simple repair of their humble houses in the past.
The style of the eighth chapter is relatively relaxed and pleasant, describing the grand occasion of feasting in the whole village after a year of hard work. In my opinion, holding a big banquet is not only to celebrate the birthday of the ruler, but also to thank the bottom workers for their hard work over the past year, and it is also a reverence and gratitude for the blessed harvest.
Combining the three expressive techniques of The Book of Songs, July is definitely a model of prose poetry. The whole poem was written in July, and each painting was unfolded month by month in the order of farming activities. Through the author's beautiful narration, he vividly shows the readers different labor scenes, life scenes and the faces of various characters every month, which constitutes a simple and original genre painting in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. Starting from The Book of Songs, most of China's ancient poems are lyric poems, but few are narrative poems. Poems that stand the test of time and are widely praised and regarded as classics are mostly lyric poems. However, July is undoubtedly a successful narrative poem. Change the scenery with the seasons? The way to write the scenery is lyrical, the brushwork is delicate and poetic. Although it was not deliberately emphasized, it passed? Cold and warm? 、? Less and less? 、? Hunger and fullness? Several groups of contrasts make the seemingly calm lines hide the author's deep sympathy for the poor fate of the bottom workers everywhere; Grief and helplessness for heavy work; Hatred against the cruel exploitation of rulers; Readers who are strongly dissatisfied with the disparity between the rich and the poor and class oppression seem to realize that in this seemingly calm situation, a tsunami from the bottom forces is accumulating energy and ready to roar out of the chest!
It is particularly worth mentioning that the early agricultural production reflected in July has important reference value for studying China's agricultural production mode, the manufacture and use of production tools and the development level of productive forces. The mulberry weaving and various crops mentioned in the poem can also be used for reference in studying the understanding of farming and textile in the Western Zhou Dynasty in China.
The Book of Songs is worthy of being the legend of China's ancient poetry, and July, which I appreciate, is just one of many classics. I forgot when I started, obsessed with reciting and trying to figure out the beautiful sentences in the Book of Songs. I want to be a sensible woman, and I am sure that reading the Book of Songs will become a part of my future life. I will develop good reading habits and always accompany me.
Excellent reading experience of The Book of Songs Part II: My first contact with The Book of Songs was through two ancient Chinese texts, Ge Tan and Shuo Shu, in the Chinese textbook of senior high school. ? Kan Kan cut sandalwood, the river dried up, and the river was clear and rippling? Chinese teachers in senior high schools lead students to read aloud the texts, such as the ancient bronze bells and Pan's voices, which are still ringing in my ears.
In 1980s, with the nationwide popularity of the TV series Water Margin adapted from Qiong Yao's novel, the theme song Qin Feng of this TV series became popular all over the country overnight. Teresa Teng's gentle, tender, blurred and lingering songs, with elegant, beautiful and romantic lyrics, and the hazy, illusory and classical beauty of the perfect combination of tradition and modernity, made our young and frivolous hearts intoxicated at once. What followed was the Qiong Yao fever that swept across the country. Qiong Yao's novels are interspersed with a large number of China classical poems, which makes many Qiong Yao fans interested in The Book of Songs, Tang poetry and Song ci. My Fair Lady, Gentleman? It has also become a common teasing sentence when students joke together. But that's all. In the face of the elegant but obscure and complicated ancient Austrian Book of Songs, most of them just tasted it, flinched and couldn't get in.
When we walked into the museum to visit the ancient cultural relics, faced with the crystallization of China's ancient civilization, except for a few knowledgeable people who are good at making the past serve the present, most people just lamented because of the lack of necessary cultural and historical background knowledge, and could not deeply appreciate the real taste. However, if we want to get to the bottom of it, we are not only afraid, but also helpless in the face of vast and profound ancient books and extremely limited time and energy! But as a descendant of the Chinese people, I don't know much about the historical and cultural essence of this nation. After all, it's a little unreasonable. This raises a question of what to read and how to read it. I think, according to my reading habits and hobbies, it is a wise choice to choose the classic works that have been tested and basically recognized by the world as the first choice for reading, put aside the utilitarian heart and quietly enjoy the ideas and interests in the book. There is no doubt that The Book of Songs is such a classic, which has exerted an extremely extensive and far-reaching influence on the history and culture of China.
In the splendid long scroll of Chinese civilization, classical poems with vivid and concise language, distant artistic conception, beautiful rhyme and harmony are like the same river between ancient and modern times, and The Book of Songs is the source of this river. ? Confucius said that there are 300 poems. In a word, Confucius said, "Think you are innocent?" ? (The Analects of Confucius), which means that the works in The Book of Songs generally conform to the moral principles and standards recognized by the society at that time, otherwise they cannot be used as tools for Confucianism to educate younger brothers and sons. ? Confucius said: If you don't read poetry, you have nothing to say. ? (The Analects of Confucius), it can be seen that the Book of Songs has a respected position in Confucian classics.
China civilization has a long history of thousands of years. Mr. Chen Yinque once lamented:? It is too far away from ancient times, there is no written record, only a few words, the language is unknown, and there is no way to verify it. Coupled with the lack of underground archaeological excavations, it is difficult to draw a conclusion. People draw ghosts, opinions vary, people are different, and the evidence is insufficient. Who can decide this and bring it up? Prove history with poetry? The method advocated? Fugue meditation? , to? Poetry? In order to guide me, I tried my best to experience and appreciate the life value and spiritual realm of China's ancient ancestors in the ethereal realm, and to investigate the political ups and downs, economic changes and social livelihood at that time. The system of collecting poems continued to the Western Zhou Dynasty. From Zhou Tianzi's collection of poems to observe the folk customs, to Confucius' use of poems to educate his Confucian brother-Zi, and later to the Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty who regarded the Book of Songs as a Confucian classic, they all regarded poetry as a tool and carrier for political education and observation of the people's feelings. It can be seen that Mr. Chen proposed it? Prove history with poetry? There is some truth and basis in the method. Therefore, reading China's classical poems has become the only way for us to deeply understand the ancient civilization of China today.
Throughout? Poetry 300? Most of them are lyric poems, full of intense love and hate from the deep heart, yearning for freedom and justice, awe and gratitude for ethics, which contains a childlike innocence? Naively think? It is difficult to find traces in today's literary works. In the modern society, where the material is overflowing and the mind is barren, it may be an excellent leisure lifestyle to make a cup of fragrant tea, hold a book of poems in your hand and occasionally think about the past. The Book of Songs written by Mr. Tang Wen can be read in this way, with concise words and novel angles, which provides us with an excellent way to interpret the Book of Songs through cultural comparison and comparison of good sentences. The quiet and elegant illustrations and notes attached to each chapter of his book can be used to entertain people who are tired of reading and to increase their knowledge of literature, history and natural history, killing two birds with one stone. But? Smart people sometimes nod, right? Although this book fully takes care of the reading habits of modern people, it is inevitable that there are regrets.
Schopenhauer, a great philosopher, said in his article On Reading: Most people like to read books that introduce or comment on great thinkers of ancient and modern times, rather than the original works, because they are used to reading newly published things, and because birds of a feather flock together, they think that the shallow and plain language of today's mediocre people is easier to understand than the thoughts of great people. When I was a child, I was lucky enough to read schlegel's wonderful aphorism and take it as a criterion: You should always read ancient books and the original works of the ancients. Today, people's evaluation of them is of little significance. ? I hope everyone will take this as a warning, and only take Mr. Tang Wen's book The Book of Songs can be read like this as the first step to enter the gate of ancient civilization in China, and experience the pleasure and fun of contacting with the ancients by reading ancient classics.
Excellent reading experience of The Book of Songs III. The Book of Songs expresses the most sincere feelings of the people when they first arrive in simple words. The mountains have no edges, the rivers are endless, there is Lei Zhen in winter and rain and snow in summer, but I dare to say goodbye to you. The attitude of pre-Qin people towards love is shocking. Love, just one word. It turns out that you can love so decisively. On the other hand, at present, love is rampant, desire is chaotic, and breaking up and divorce seems to be a common occurrence. I don't know whether we should properly slow down the high-speed pace of life, quietly experience the true meaning of love in the Book of Songs, and wait for the purest feelings at the beginning of people's hearts to return to the original beauty.
Love, never give up, quietly waiting for your return.
? The pigeon in Guanguan, in Hezhou? Open the front page of the Book of Songs, and the crow's hoof will pounce on you. People's thoughts are rippling, and they suddenly fall into a vague and implicit mood. The river flows leisurely, the water shepherd's purse floats, the pigeons leave, and the song is euphemistic and melodious, which makes people roll. ? What do you want, my beautiful lady? The confession in The Book of Songs is subtle and euphemistic, never artificial. But this is not cowardice. In the face of true love, even with a sandbar, a handful of aquatic plants and a curved spring, we should convey our inner feelings. Every word is subtle, but every sentence is true. It touched you and me. In every lush years with dreams, it turns out that lovers can be so free and easy, and being loved can be so real. There are thousands of jewels in Qian Qian and thousands of buildings in Qian Qian. Only this long river and slender aquatic plants have witnessed our love, but this is enough. Loving you is just a feeling. When I fall in love with this feeling, all external auras are irrelevant. I can't refuse your outstretched hand, because you have crossed my forehead.
The lost years can't take away the tenderness, watching the river drift away. In today's materialistic world, how many people can face their inner calls and be with the people they love, and how many people are loved because of pure love itself, rather than pursuing materialism. Is love still love when it can be measured by material and labeled with price? Also a thousand years ago? The death of peaches? A thousand years later, it will be different? Burn its glory? .
Did happiness abandon us, or did we abandon happiness?
I think the reason why we should seek for root culture and carry forward socialist culture is because of nostalgia. Perhaps in a busy moment, the once forgotten beauty will suddenly come to mind. We will miss the moonlight in the poem, people and thoughts generated by pure emotions. People in the pre-Qin period can express their touching feelings and philosophies with simple and almost rough words. ? People who know me worry me; If you don't know me, what do you want? Relieved; ? Yesterday, I left, and the willows were reluctant; Today I think, is it raining? Sentimental; ? Can stones from other mountains attack jade? Wisdom. Through the dust of the Millennium, singing, singing, out of the east gate, on the ridge; Everything is desirable.
The ancients can express their true feelings with birds and fish, reeds and wild flowers, ebb and flow of tides, and full moon and loss of moons. It turns out that love can be so pure and innocent, life can be so quiet and harmonious, and man and nature can live in perfect harmony. Now I am in the jungle of reinforced concrete, as busy as a machine from nine to five. Modern people who want too much forget what they really want.
I miss the ancients because they are too sincere or because we are too complicated.
Perhaps the most important thing for The Book of Songs is not to shelve it as a classic. Perhaps the most essential significance of reading The Book of Songs is to teach people to feel the simple and sincere yearning of the ancients for life, to look at everything around them with a childlike and innocent heart, and to learn from the indomitable spirit of the ancients in pursuing the beauty of human nature.
After all, it's easy to miss being apart for a long time.
The singing of The Book of Songs drifted away, taking away the longing in the depths of time. Looking back from a distance, The Book of Songs is like a milestone, condensing the soul of the Chinese nation and radiating eternal beauty. Walking on the flowing water, listening to the call from ancient times, it seems that I have returned to those ancient days that have passed away:
? The Millennium is frost; The so-called Iraqis are on the water side. ?
