In the light of the rhythms, the anthology was divided into three sections： the Feng section (the section of ballads)，the “Ya” section (the section of festival songs)， and the “Song” section (the section of praises). The “Feng” poems were the native ballads of the various states. The “Ya”poems were music pieces in the territory of the Zhou Kings. The “Song” poems were eulogies to ghosts and deities and to meritorious deeds, often sung along with dances. This book has rich contents and knowledge, and aesthetic values in various aspects.
