Extended data

Nan Zhou Guanju, a short poem of National Wind, occupies a special position in the history of China literature. It is the first book in The Book of Songs, which is the oldest book in China literature. It is usually considered as a love song describing the love between men and women.

This poem skillfully adopts the expression of "xing" in art. In the first chapter, the pheasant birds sing together and fall in love with each other, raising the association of a lady accompanying a gentleman. In the following chapters, the behavior of picking shepherd's purse raises the hero's crazy love and pursuit of women. The language of the whole poem is beautiful, and it is good at using double tones, overlapping rhymes and overlapping words, which enhances the phonological beauty of the poem and the vividness of writing figures and imitating sounds to convey feelings.

Because Guanju not only admits that the love between men and women is a natural and normal feeling, but also demands that this kind of feeling be restrained to conform to the social virtue, later generations often take what they need and extend it, while people who resist the inhuman oppression of feudal ethics often use the authoritative banner of Guanju to claim the right to satisfy their personal feelings.
