Extended information:
"Book of Songs": "Book of Songs" is the beginning of ancient Chinese poetry, the earliest collection of poems, collecting poetry from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (11 BC century to the 6th century BC), there are a total of 311 poems, 6 of which are Sheng poems, that is, they only have titles and no content, which are called the six Sheng poems (Nanmei, Baihua, Huashui, Youkang, Chongwu , Youyi), reflecting the social outlook of about five hundred years from the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to the late Zhou Dynasty.
"Chu Ci": Chu Ci is a new poetry style created by Qu Yuan, and it is also the first collection of romantic poetry in the history of Chinese literature. ?The name "Chu Ci" existed in the early Western Han Dynasty, and was compiled into a collection by Liu Xiangnai.
The whole book is mainly based on Qu Yuan's works, and the other chapters also inherit the form of Qu Yuan's Fu. Because of its use of the literary style, dialect rhymes, customs and products of the Chu region (note: today's Hunan and Hubei areas), it has a strong local flavor, hence the name "Chu Ci", which has a profound impact on later generations of poetry.
