Lu Xun once said that the Book of Poetry -- the life of the ancestors, the traces of history.
We have always been attracted by its unique style and words when we read the Book of Verses, but in fact, the historical stories in the Book of Poetry are even more fascinating.
For example, the Zhou houji, known as the god of agriculture. In "The Living People", he is recorded about his miraculous deeds and his talents in agricultural cultivation.
King Zhou You fainted, and Hou Ji was expelled from the royal family by Duke Wei Wu, so there was "Qi Ao" to praise Wei WuGong.
Duke Xuan of Wei was an obscene monarch who had incested with his stepmother Yi Jiang and had a son named Ling. After he grew up, Wei Xuangong hired him to marry Qi's daughter, and as a result, Qi's daughter was beautiful, and Wei Xuangong went against Heaven and built a new platform on the yellow river and intercepted his daughter-in-law. So there was "Xintai" to satirize Wei Xuangong.
......
The Book of Verses carries much more content than we might think. Therefore, when reading the Book of Poetry, do not be "deceived" by its superficial articles!
What is hidden in the misunderstood Book of Verses?
It is said that Qin Shi Huang was familiar with the Book of Poetry, so why did he burn the Book of Poetry when he burned the book?
This also begins with the origin of the Book of Verses.
The earliest record of the creation of the Book of Poetry is the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the latest works produced are the Spring and Autumn Period, spanning about 500 to 600 years.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was an education in the Book of Poetry, which was read by all children of the nobility. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang Also read the Book of Poetry.
There is even a legend that the name of his son Fu su is from the "Mountain Has Fu Su" in the Book of Poetry, "Fu Su" means that the trees are leafy, which shows that Qin Shi Huang had high expectations for this son.
However, many of the contents of the Book of Poetry are contrary to his rule.
According to records, the Chinese style and "Ernan" of the Book of Poetry are all rural folk songs, while Xiaoya Daya is full of intellectual protests, and there are strong individualism and liberal colors in them, which are contrary to Qin Shi Huang's policy of "collectivist unified thought".
In addition, the "QingXia" in the Book of Poetry was written by satirizing Qin Xianggong's disregard for Zhou Li, and Qin Shi Huang naturally could not tolerate others saying that the Son of Heaven was not.
In ancient times, "poetry and speech" was not a slogan, but to effectively express a certain point of view of the creator through poetry. This is both a blessing and a curse for the rulers.
But for future generations of readers, we study the original intention of a poem, not only to improve cultural attainments, but also to broaden our knowledge, so as to understand what society was like a thousand years ago.
Therefore, it is crucial to understand more accurately the original meaning of the "creation" of a poem. It's just that nowadays, the contents of the Book of Poetry are misunderstood by us too much.
For example, "Guan Ju":
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Continent.
Ladies and gentlemen.
What exactly is this "love poem" that we have always thought of? Why is Confucius placed at the top of the Book of Poetry?
The Book of Verses: Restored Edition of ancient righteousness is explained in detail:
"Gentleman" refers to Zhou Shifu and Tianzi, while "Lady, Gentleman is good" is to tell gentlemen to seek mate, not to ask for women to be beautiful, but to seek virtue and virtuousness.
Since at that time, Zhou Tianzi was the first reader of poetry, and he would not only be limited to the superficial content of the poem, or would be more concerned about the central meaning contained in the poem itself, so Confucius compiled this poem into the Book of Poetry as the first of the "Four Beginnings", which shows that he was well-intentioned and thoughtful.
There are many such "misunderstood" poems in the Book of Poetry, so it is most important to choose a Book of Verses based on the Preface to the Book of Poetry if you want to understand what the original author of the Book of Verses said.
Reading the Book of Poetry with the Preface to The Poems
The longer you read, the deeper it gets
The Preface to Poetry is a classic work that studies the poet's motivation and scholars before the Han Dynasty.
Mr. Huang Zhuo, a generation of masters of the study of the Book of Poetry, pointed out: "The original meaning of the "Poems" is found in the "Preface", which means that Confucius personally asked the master to teach Zixia. The Psalms are left without the Preface, although the saints cannot know their original meaning. ”
It is evident that if you read the poem without reading the "Preface to the Poem", there will be Mr. Huang Zhuo's words, and he cannot know its original meaning, or even add a false interpretation to it himself.
This way of reading poetry is tantamount to swallowing dates, only knowing that they do not know why.
Therefore, to read the Book of Poetry, the version with the interpretation of the Book of Verses should be the first choice.
In the book "Book of Poetry: Restored Edition of Ancient Righteousness", the idea of "Poetry Preface" runs through the introduction and solution of each chapter, and at the same time selects the teaching results of ancient sages and modern "Book of Poetry" researchers to supplement it, and finally attaches the wonderful and unique insights of professor Fang Ming, a famous expert, to restore the original meaning of each poem.
The "secrets" hidden in the Book of Poetry are no longer obscure and vague, and the doubts and misunderstandings of the Book of Poetry in the past will disappear.
Cheng Yi, a northern Song Dynasty theorist, said: The taste of reading is deeper the longer it is.
This set of "Poetry Classics: Restored Edition of Ancient Righteousness" is a book that can make you taste the more fragrant the book.
(1) The author has profound knowledge in the study of the Book of Poetry
Its author is Professor Fang Ming, doctoral supervisor of ancient Chinese literature at Beijing Language and Culture University, who is also the president of the Quyuan Society of China and a well-known expert in pre-Qin literature.
As a descendant of Mr. Ma Yifu, one of the "Three Saints of Neo-Confucianism", on the one hand, he inherited the scriptural theory that Shimen had studied for many years, and on the other hand, he inherited the method of studying the "Book of Poetry" with the "Book of Poetry" as the method from a generation of "Book of Poetry" master Mr. Huang Zhuo, and also studied under Professor Chu Binjie, a famous expert in pre-Qin and Han Chinese literature and literary historian, who can be described as thorough and profound in the study of the "Book of Poetry".
(2) Rich in pictures and texts, assisting in restoring the beauty of the ancient meaning of the Book of Poetry
With the addition of the book, the three hundred pieces of the "Book of Poetry" painted by Ma Hezhi of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Zhao Shushu of the Song Gaozong Zhao Shushu are added to the "Poetry Classic" and the beautiful famous pictures in the "Illustrated Illustrations of Famous Things in the Poetry Classic" drawn by the Confucian scholar Hosoi In Japan, which assists in the restoration of the beauty of culture, life and nature contained in the ancient meaning of the "Book of Poetry".
(3) Naked ridge line loading, 180 degrees flat does not hurt the page, the book cover is exquisite
In terms of binding, this set of books uses a thick nude spine, which can be freely turned 180 degrees without damaging the paper;
What is particularly important is that the main picture of the book in the first and second volumes is selected from the Famous Work of the Southern Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan, "Shijing Feng feng, July", in which the image of the "farmer" is vivid and ready to come out, and later scholars have a scholarly debate about whether it is a "farmer" or a "slave".
(4) The amount of comments is large, the citations are rich, and the content is professional
The most amazing thing is that this book is not only extremely large in annotated, but also extremely rich in citations, and the author attaches special importance to absorbing the research results of the "Book of Poetry" before the Tang Dynasty.
Such as Mao Heng's "Mao Shi Old Training Biography", Zheng Xuan's "Mao Shi Old Training Notes", Lu Jie's "Mao Shi Grass, Wood, Birds, Animals, Insects and Fish Thin", Kong Yingda's "Mao Shi Justice", Sanjia 'Shi", "Shuowen", "Erya", "Guangya", "Guangyun", "Jiyun" and other text rhyme books,
It also collects the research results of scholars from the Tang Dynasty, especially the three dynasties of the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties and modern and contemporary "Book of Poetry", such as Zhu Xi's "Biography of Poetry Collection", Wang Fuzhi's "Poetry Classics Of Barnyard Shu", Ma Ruichen's "Commentary on Mao's Poetry Transmission Notes", Dai Zhen's "Supplementary Notes on the Book of Poetry", Wang Xianqian's "Poetry Three Families of Righteous Collection", Fang Yurun's "Poetry Classics Primitive", Wei Yuan's "Shigu Wei", Wen Yiduo, Cheng Junying, Chu Binjie, Huang Zhuo's "Mao Shi Zheng Zhi Ping Discussion", Chen Zizhan's "Direct Interpretation of the Book of Poetry", etc.
Nearly 150 kinds of works written by nearly 100 scholars are nothing less than a vast reference book on the study of the Book of Poetry.
(5) The annotations are detailed, complex and not repeated; the pronunciation of strange characters is not barrier-free
A total of 305 poems are included in the "Book of Poetry", with detailed annotations after each poem, and all the strange words that appear in the book are also annotated with pinyin and homophones to ensure that you can recite them without obstacles.
Professor Zhao Minli, vice president of the Chinese Poetry Society and director of the Chinese Poetry Research Center of the Humanities and Social Sciences Base of the Ministry of Education, wrote in the preface: "The Book of Poetry: The Restored Edition of Ancient Meaning is a work that embodies the combination of traditional academic values and modern academic methods, and can undoubtedly be unique in the contemporary study of the Book of Poetry. It is believed that the publication of this work will surely promote the study of the Book of Poetry and make important contributions to the cultural construction of the Book of Poetry in China. ”
A Book of Verses
Wake up to the dusty 2500 years
If you don't read the Book of Poetry, you don't know the history of the pre-Qin Dynasty, you don't read the Book of Poetry, and you don't know that all things have animism.
The information contained in the Book of Poetry is complete from the daily life to the aesthetic feelings, from the various states of life to the philosophy of life.
The peach is dying, scorching its glory. The sight of peach blossoms comes into view;
Vote for me with a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. A piece of sincerity makes people yearn for it;
Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me, what do I ask for? The Way of the World;
Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with a lee. Show the wind of a gentleman...
Liang Qichao once said: The extant pre-Qin ancient books are a mixture of truths and forgeries, and almost none of them have no problems; their true gold and jade, the characters are credible, and the first of the Book of Poetry is also the first.
Although there are many versions of the Book of Poetry on the market today, it is still rare to have such a large project and a large hand, which has the ability to interpret and examine tens of thousands of words of the original text into a set of large-scale instrumental readings of nearly one million words.
The book "Book of Poetry: Restored Edition of Ancient Righteousness" is enough for a lifetime, and can even be passed down from generation to generation.
The 2500-year-old Book of Verses deserves to be remembered not just beautiful verses...
