ShiJing description
To better understand the Chinese literature, first you have to read
Book of Odes
Chinese literature begins with ShiJing (Book of Odes), an anthology
of songs, poems and hymns.
ShiJing consists of 311 poems (6 without text) dating from the
Zhou Dynasty (1027-771 BC) to the Spring & Autumn Period
(770-476 BC).
Geographically, these poems were collected from the area which
is now central China and the lower HuangHe (Yellow River) Valley of
north China where Chinese civilization began and flourished.
The area covered is that of the provinces ShanXi, Shan3Xi,
ShanDong, HeNan and HuBei.
The collection is divided into four main sections:
· GuoFeng (Lessons from the States): poems or folk songs
from ordinary people.
· XiaoYa (Minor Odes of the Kingdom): poems or songs
concerning life of the nobility.
· DaYa (Greater Odes of the Kingdom): poems or songs of
praise of the rulers and their life.
· Song (Odes of the Temple and the Altar): hymns written
for religious ceremonies of the court.
In spite of the many interpretations and commentaries
written generations later, ShiJing influence on Chinese literature
is overwhelming and undeniable by any one at any time.
ShiJing not only lays the foundation for the formation of style
and rules for Chinese classical poems, it is also frequently quoted
in other canonical Chinese texts and has always been referred to as
moral truth and lessons.
It is no coincidence that the number of poems selected by Sun
Zhu in 1763 for his popular 300 Tang Poems was an exact match with
that of the ShiJing. This is just an example of how influential
ShiJing is on Chinese literature even in the most trivial way.
Poems collected in the anthology touch and reflect on all
aspects of Chinese life at the time. Some describe emotion,
feelings and situations of people from different classes of
society, some report events and matters of state, some depict the
harmonious rule of nature.
There is record of about one hundred kinds of plants and trees
and ninety kinds of animals and insects in ShiJing. Different kinds
of musical instruments, metals, arms and munitions of war,
buildings, clothing, food, etc. are frequently mentioned.
Given the genuine and diverse nature of the poems collected in
this anthology, in addition to its literary significance, ShiJing
is a very valuable document for those who wish to seek insight into
Chinese civilization and beyond.
ShiJing has been translated into English by a number of
prominent scholars since 18th century. The translation we use here
is by James Legge (1814-1897) and have substituted his
transliteration of Chinese names with PinYin.
