"The Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" are ancient Chinese poetry collections that hold great significance. However, due to the limitations of historical records, many questions about their authors, creation, cultural contexts, and customs remain unanswered. This book explores these poems and the "Sao" genre through archaeological discoveries such as pottery, jade, inscriptions, and tomb murals. It covers topics like the era of the "Shang Song," interpretation of "ode history poetry," and the study of "war" and "ritual poetry." It also delves into Qu Yuan's life, works, and the study of other "Chu Ci" writers. This book offers valuable insights for those interested in Chinese archaeology, literature, history, and culture.
