The Poetic Tradition of the Spring and Autumn Period:The Ideological Gene of the Pre-Qin Confucian Poetic Tradition
The poetic tradition of the Spring and Autumn period is primarily composed of three parts.In terms of poetic structure,it witnessed the emergence of the"Feng","Ya",and"Song"structure,with"Poetry","Rites"and"Music"relatively independent.In terms of the concept of poetic education,"Poetry"not only became an independent subject of teaching but also served as a source and carrier for the Zhou people's order and values.Regarding interpretation methods,it developed the interpretative approaches of"categorizing po-ems by songs","assigning poems by sections",and"subtle yet clear",along with a relatively fixed structure for citing poetry.Together,these elements constituted the poetic tradition of the Spring and Autumn period.This tradition served as the ideological gene that nurtured the Pre-Qin Confucian poetic tradition,laying the formal groundwork and preparation for the"philosophical breakthrough"of the Pre-Qin Confucian poetic tra-dition.
