Although the study of Yanxi bet365 bonus bets in "The Book of Songs" has lasted nearly two thousand years,But some important issues are still not well solved,The year when Ru Yan’s bet365 bonus bets were produced、Ideological Purpose、Type ownership, etc.。The reason why these problems cannot be completely solved,Mostly due to lack of materials。With the continuous enrichment of unearthed documents,The solution to these problems finally ushered in unprecedented new opportunities,Especially the Tsinghua bamboo slip "Qi Ye" contains many interesting bet365 bonus bets,And it happens to belong to the category of Yanxi poetry。

 Confirming the year when Yan Xi’s bet365 bonus bets were produced

Ancient and modern scholars have frequently disputed the issue of the origin of Yanxi poetry,No conclusion yet,bet365 bonus bets can be roughly summarized into three versions: "Early Western Zhou Dynasty", "Middle Western Zhou Dynasty" and "Late Western Zhou Dynasty"。Zheng Xuan believes that Yan Shishi is King Wen、King Wu、Duke Zhou、Produced during the reign of King Cheng,Zhu Xi believes that bet365 bonus bets originated during the Zhou Gong period。The "History of Chinese Literature" textbook edited by Yuan Xingpei adopts the "Theory of the Early Western Zhou Dynasty"。Ma Yinqin proposed that Yanfan poetry originated during the period of King Mu,Sun Zuoyun claims that bet365 bonus bets originated during the reign of King Xuan。

The above remarks,All based on the current version of the Book of Songs and other related documents handed down from ancient times,Scholars sometimes make different judgments on the same bet365 bonus bets in the Book of Songs,And then formed completely different opinions。Actually,The lack of materials is one of the important reasons leading to disagreements。And the publication of the Tsinghua bamboo slip "Qi Ye",Provides new clues to solve these problems。

"Qi Ye", a Tsinghua bamboo slip, belongs to the "poetry" category,Contains five bet365 bonus bets in total,They are "Lelezhijiu", "Zhecheng", "Bie", "Mingming God" and "Cricket"。These five bet365 bonus bets are written after King Wu's triumphant return to Li,At the drinking ceremony in Wen Tai’s room,King Wu、Bi Gong、A work by Duke Zhou and others to sing to each other。"Le Le Zhi Jiu", "輼輑" and "輑赑" are all bet365 bonus bets describing banquet ceremonies,It also describes the sweetness of the wine served at the banquet,Also depicts the joyful scene of guests and hosts singing to each other,A typical Yanfang poem。Although "Mingming God" and "Cricket" do not directly describe the banquet scene,But from the point of view,The central idea still reflects the theme of the banquet ceremony,And they were all done while drinking at a banquet,So it should also belong to Yan Feast bet365 bonus bets。

The Tsinghua bamboo slip "Qiye" begins with a "preface" similar to "Preface to Mao's bet365 bonus bets",To explain its creative background,The brief text says: "The eighth year of King Wu,Conquer the Elders,大戡之。Also,Even drink it in Wen Tai’s room。"This shows that the above five bet365 bonus bets were written in the "eighth year of King Wu",And they were all painted at the "Drinking Arrival" ceremony。Some scholars believe,The poem about Yan feast should directly reflect the Yan ritual in Jiali、bet365 bonus bets for feasting activities。Actually,This explanation seems to make sense。All bet365 bonus bets in ceremonial ceremonies that can reflect the theme of Yanfan should be classified as Yanfan bet365 bonus bets,And these etiquette ceremonies should not be limited to Yan Li and Xian Li,It should also include drinking rituals, etc.。Therefore,Although the drinking ceremony is different from the Yan ceremony、Feasting Ceremony,But because there are also banquet ritual activities,So the bet365 bonus bets that arise from the drinking ceremony or directly reflect the banquet scene should also be Yan Feast bet365 bonus bets。This is not uncommon in the Book of Songs,"Xiaoya·June" and "Lu Song·Panshui" are typical examples。

In addition,"Plucking Wei", "Getting out of the car" and "敕Du" in "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya" are also bet365 bonus bets about drinking and ritual。And these bet365 bonus bets about drinking,Ancient scholars have also classified it as a Yan Feast poem。Zheng Xuan's "Xiao Daya Pu" says: "After "Daya Minlao" and "Xiao Ya June",It’s called becoming elegant,Good and evil have their own time,Also show kindness and punish mistakes,What is right is second best。"Zhu Xi's "Collected bet365 bonus bets" also says: "Test it now,正《Xiaoya》,The joy of swallow food。”In other words,The bet365 bonus bets before "Xiaoya·June" belong to the original "Xiaoya",And "Xiaoya" is all about "the joy of swallowing"。Specifically,All seventeen bet365 bonus bets from "Deer Ming" to "June" in "Xiaoya" are bet365 bonus bets about Yan Xian,Among them, "Plucking Wei", "Getting out of the Car", "Jidu" and "June" are all bet365 bonus bets about drinking and drinking.,Therefore, the bet365 bonus bets about drinking with courtesy should all belong to the bet365 bonus bets about Yan Feast。

The chronology of the poem about drinking and rituals found in the Tsinghua bamboo slips "Qiye" is clear,It is the earliest Yan Feast poem in the early Western Zhou Dynasty。So the age of the Yanxi bet365 bonus bets in the Book of Songs,Should be during the period of King Wu at the latest,The eighth year of King Wu,It will not be too late to become a king、Period of King Mu or King Xuan。

 Clarifying the types of Yanxian bet365 bonus bets

In the past, scholars mostly believed that the genre of Yanxi bet365 bonus bets would not exceed the scope of "Ya" and "Song"。This is because the main content of Yan's bet365 bonus bets is to record the banquets between monarchs, ministers and nobles,More reflections of the happiness of the upper class、Harmonious scene,So it will not appear in "National Style"。However,From the Tsinghua bamboo slip "Qi Ye",There should also be bet365 bonus bets about Yan Feast in "Guofeng"。

Zhu Xi once interpreted the "wind" of "national style" as "the poetry of ballads",This is more reasonable。The so-called "ballads",It means "music"。"Wei Feng·There are Peach in the Garden" says: "My heart is worried,I sing and ballad。"Mao Chuanyun: "The music combined with music is called a song,Students sing and sing ballads。"Confucius said: "A ballad is just a song,The song will not be left alone,So it is called Qu He Le Yue Song。This is the text of the ballad,Sanzege is the general name,Not necessarily happy。”“quheleyuege”,means "song" or "music"。This also shows that the "wind" of Wei is the "song" or "ballad" of the Wei state。Today’s scholars also agree that “wind” refers to “songs”, “music” or “tones”。For example,Yu Guanying believes: "Wind is the music of every place,'Guofeng' means local music from various countries...the word 'wind' means tone。” ("Selected bet365 bonus bets·Preface") Gao Heng also holds this view,And pointed out: "Feng is the general name of music... From this point of view,The so-called national style is the music of each country。”Yao Zhi,“Ballad” means “music”,So "song" means "wind","Song" bet365 bonus bets belong to the "Wind" category。("Modern Notes on the Book of Songs")

It can be seen from this,The "national style" bet365 bonus bets in the early Western Zhou Dynasty can all be called "songs"。The "preface" before the four bet365 bonus bets "Cricket", "Lelezhijiu", "輼成" and "谑赑" in the Tsinghua bamboo slips "Qi Ye" all say "the song is written until the end",And "Ming Ming God" is called "Blessing Chant"。This explains,Except "Obvious God",The other four bet365 bonus bets should all belong to the "national style" category。Li Xueqin thinks,The Tsinghua bamboo slip "Cricket" is the current version of "Tang Feng·Cricket"。It can be said,The current version of "Tang Feng·Cricket" is a poem about swallow food written by Duke Zhou around the theme of swallow food during the drinking ceremony,It is not the work of "Assassinating Duke Xi of Jin" as mentioned in "Preface to Mao's bet365 bonus bets",Not an ordinary Tang folk song。Although "Lelezhijiu", "Zhecheng" and "輑赑" are not found in the current "Book of Songs",But it can still be concluded that it is a "national style" Yanxian poem。From this we might as well make bold inferences,There may be other Yanxi bet365 bonus bets in the current version of "The Book of Songs·Guofeng",These Yan Feast bet365 bonus bets should be similar to "Tang Feng·Cricket",But because there is no intuitive description of the banquet scene,In addition, the background material is lacking,so that later generations cannot confirm it as a poem of Yan Feast。

   ,Announcement of Tsinghua Bamboo Slip "Qi Ye",Let us understand that Yanxi poetry does not only exist in "Ya" and "Song",bet365 bonus bets distributed in "National Style"。

 Expand the ideological connotation of bet365 bonus bets Xian poetry

Scholars mostly believe that the ideological theme of Yan Xian's bet365 bonus bets is to reflect the joy and harmony of the upper class、Harmony and Courtesy。Zhao Peilin believes: “The ideological content of banquet bet365 bonus bets is quite complex: both whitewashing the peace、Definitely the hedonic side,There are good manners and good deeds、Longing for good style。”("Reflections on Research on the Book of Songs") However,Due to lack of materials,Zhao’s discussion is still not comprehensive enough。

The publication of the Tsinghua bamboo slip "Cricket",Changed the past understanding of the ideological connotation of Yan Fang's bet365 bonus bets。"Preface to Mao's bet365 bonus bets" and other documents believe that,The main theme of "Tang Feng·Cricket" is to satirize the thriftiness of Duke Xi of Jin,The purpose is to persuade them to enjoy themselves within the scope of etiquette。Li Xueqin based his research on the inscriptions on newly discovered bronze ritual vessels,Duke Xi of Jin was by no means a frugal person,But indulge in pleasure、A luxurious monarch who loves hunting,The Duke of Zhou repeatedly emphasized in his bet365 bonus bets that "there is happiness but no desolation",The purpose is to remind the Zhou Dynasty to remain vigilant in victory。("First Acquaintance with Tsinghua Bamboo Bamboo Slips") This completely negates the stereotype in "Preface to Mao's bet365 bonus bets" that "frugality is not polite" and "carpe diem"。The so-called "remain vigilant",In essence, it is a sense of urgency,The thought of warning。

Specifically,Simplified version of "Cricket" "Happiness without desolation,This is the steadfastness of a good man" and the current version of "Cricket" "There is no such thing as happiness,The good scholar Qu Qu” has the same purpose,All have thoughts of caution。"愳愳" and "Ququ",Both refer to a vigilant look。Visible,The theme bet365 bonus bets poem "Cricket" indeed conveys a sense of worry。And "happy but not desolate" and "happy but not desolate" are warnings for good people not to indulge too much。

What’s interesting,Shangbo Slips "Confucius' Poetry Theory" also contains: "Confucius said: "Qi (cricket) rate (cricket)",Wisdom (knowledge) is difficult。’”The simplified text “Qi Lv” is pronounced like “cricket”,Refers to "Tang Feng·Cricket"。"Difficult to Wisdom",Means knowing difficulties。Based on the Tsinghua bamboo slips and the handed down version of "Cricket",“Knowing difficulties” should mean: knowing the difficulties of striving for peace and tranquility in the past、Knowing how difficult bet365 bonus bets is to enjoy peace and tranquility now、Knowing the difficulty of maintaining peace and tranquility in the future。Careful with the text,“Understanding difficulties” actually ultimately conveys a sense of worry。The main manifestations of this sense of worry are,Deep worries about the difficulty of maintaining peace and tranquility in the future,This is consistent with the idea expressed in the text of the Tsinghua bamboo slip "Cricket"。

What is said in "Cricket" on the Tsinghua bamboo slips is "the chariot goes on its way",Shows the intersection of chariots when King Wu fought against Li、The scene of a raging war,This shows how difficult bet365 bonus bets was to strive for peace and tranquility in the past;And "My husband is a gentleman",Not happy or unhappy”,Describes the joyful and festive scene after King Wu's triumphant return,At the same time, bet365 bonus bets is also a warning that gentlemen should know that the peace and happiness they enjoy now are hard-won;"I am already well off,Then bet365 bonus bets will end with Zuo”,bet365 bonus bets is a sigh that we should not be too happy,Protect and keep this peace,If you want to keep this happiness in the future,We must achieve "happiness without desolation"。Even so,We still need to know how difficult bet365 bonus bets is to maintain peace and tranquility in the future,This is something that must be worrying,As the saying goes, "bet365 bonus bets is only the conscience of a good man"。To this point,“Understanding difficulties” also ultimately expresses a profound sense of urgency。

In summary,Yan Xian’s bet365 bonus bets contain a profound sense of urgency,And the sense of worry is an obvious manifestation of the thought of caution。Previous scholars did not fully realize the warning thoughts contained in Yan Fang's bet365 bonus bets,The primary reason is the failure to understand that "Cricket" belongs to Yan Fang's bet365 bonus bets,The secondary reason is that he misunderstood the true poetic purpose of "Cricket" due to the influence of "Preface to Mao's bet365 bonus bets" etc.。
