The Influence of "The Book of Poetry" on Later Poetry
The Classic of Poetry is the first collection of poems in the history of Chinese literature, marking the break from the primitive state of ancient Chinese literature into a mature period, in which the expression of emotion "poetry speaks of will" became the founding program of Chinese poetry. However, this kind of lyricism is a restrained and limited implicit feeling, which expresses a kind of "neutral" beauty that is compatible with feelings and reasoning, and forms a gentle and generous poetic style, which has become the criticism of literary theories of all times, and has influenced the creation of poems in later times.
