In The Book of Songs,"up"and"down"often appear in Airs of the States when they represent the actual di-mensional orientation,and rarely appear symmetrically.When"God"and"the land below"represent the supreme god and the hu-man world,most of them appear in the latter Hymns and Odes,and they usually appear symmetrically,indicating that"God","the land below"and"the people below"manifest themselves through forming an interrelated system.There are differences in spa-tial orientation and meaning of"Mountains and wetlands",the symmetrical structure on the vertical space of The Book of Songs,and spatial structure of"god-the people below".However,through the"earth",they connect the spatial perception experience of the daily life of Western Zhou Dynasty with the abstract spatial orientation perception displayed in the king's sacrifice and rule.The emphasis on"earth"as an intermediary carrier reflected in the words of spatial location in The Book of Songs can provide more un-derstanding of the cultural origin of the concept of being attached to our native land and the thought of searching for roots in tradi-tional culture.
