A Study Of The Political Situation And The Related Chapters Of The Book Of Songs In The Turn Of The Western And Eastern Zhou

The turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou is an important period in Chinese history.Due to limited historical data,there are many controversies in the academic community regarding the exploration of the history between the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou.The record of the history between the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou in the "Department Year" of the Warring States Chu bamboo slips collected by Tsinghua University not only corrects previous understanding,but also fills the gap in historical materials,which has important academic value.The Book of Songs,as one of the Six Classics,is an important document for studying the history of the pre Qin period,and the poems formed during the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou are even more valuable materials for us to study this period of history.If we can use the "Book of Songs" as a basis to sort out and integrate the views of our predecessors,integrate unearthed literature and archaeological data,and study the Xiguo and Shanfuke families who migrated eastward during the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou,we can not only understand the changes in the political situation of the Zhou dynasty during the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou,but also determine the creative era of some poems in the "Book of Songs".Since King Li ascended the throne,the Western Zhou Dynasty has been in a situation of internal and external difficulties.Whether it was the power struggle between the internal nobility and the royal power,or the invasion and plunder of the Western Zhou border by surrounding tribes,all were important reasons for the downfall of the Western Zhou Dynasty.The factional struggle that occurred during the Youwang era was the direct cause of the downfall of the Western Zhou Dynasty.This also became the historical background for the creation of some poems in the Book of Songs.After the downfall of the Western Zhou Dynasty,supporters of the You King turned to support the establishment of Yu Chen,the younger brother of the You King,as the Prince of Xie Hui.They continued to resist King Ping of Zhou with great force,and the two forces were in a long-term confrontation.During this period,the criticisms between the two major groups,as well as the defections and diversions of the feudal lords,were constantly evolving and evolving.As a strong supporter of the King of Xiguo,the time of his eastward migration should have started in the late Western Zhou Dynasty,and the reason for his eastward migration was closely related to avoiding the disaster of the canine army.The area around the North White Goose was formerly known as Yan,and during the Western Zhou Dynasty,the Shanfuke family owned a piece of land here.Under the influence of political changes,the Shanfuke family,as relatives in law of Xiguo,followed Xiguo eastward and established a state in Yan.The political situation changes over the,the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou showing a trend of increasing the power of King Hui from strong to weak,and the power of King Ping from weak to strong.The turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou is also a peak in poetry creation.Influenced by the complex and chaotic political situation,the poets formed a "unique" style in their poetry creation during the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou.The representative works of this period include"The Book of Songs · Da Ya·Zhan Ang","The Book of Songs · Da Ya·Zhao Min","The Book of Songs·Xiao Ya·The Turn of October",and "The Book of Songs·Xiao Ya·Xiao Min".In these four poems,the poet not only harshly criticized the chaos of current politics,but also questioned and criticized the heavens.This is consistent with the chaotic and disorderly social background of the turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou,and has also become the basis for judging the time of poetry creation.The turn of the Western and Eastern Zhou later,after experiencing the hardships of national destruction and family decline,some Zhou people became suspicious of fate and advocated solving problems from a practical perspective.Their rational focus on real human affairs gradually surpassed their blind reverence for gods,which was an important awakening of humanistic consciousness.
