The justice of collecting wind is a poll.

The earlier kings were similar to the scenes of the later generations, and what they heard from the mouths of the people around them was basically all good, beautiful, and durable, and the truth and truth were basically inaudible. In order to prevent being isolated from the world, this literary road with insight into the warmth and coldness of the people was opened. The main purpose of collecting poems is to collect poems created by ordinary people that reflect the joys and sorrows of daily life. The earlier poems are also a little different from the later poems, and later people write poems, mostly showing literary talent, which is literary creation, written for the sake of being a poet, and written for the publication of poetry collections. The earlier poems mainly expressed all kinds of discomforts and difficulties in human life. It's improvised, it's spoofed, it's targeted. A bit similar to today's mobile phone text messages, when the state has introduced a new policy, or there is an emergency in the society, the wise people in the people will make a guide or comment in a timely manner.

The texts describe "collecting poems" and the definition of poems as follows:

From the end of the first month of October, men and women have resentment, and they sing to each other, the hungry sing about their food, and the laborers sing about their things. Men are sixty years old, women are fifty years old and have no children, the official food and clothing, so that the people seek poetry, the countryside moves to the city, the city moves to the country, and the country is heard by the Son of Heaven. Therefore, the king does not go out of the house, knows the suffering of the world, and knows the Quartet without going down to the court. (Commentary on the Legend of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period)

Therefore, in ancient times, there were officials who collected poems, and the king looked at the customs, knew the gains and losses, and tested himself. (Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles)

In the month of Meng Chun, the crowd will disperse, and the pedestrians will vibrate Muduo on the road to collect poems, and the master of dedication will compare its rhythm to smell it in the Son of Heaven. Therefore, it is said that the king does not peep into the household and knows the world. (Hanshu Food and Goods)

Recite the poems of his words and sing the songs of his voices. (Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles)

"Poetry" is righteous and righteous. (Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles)

"Official clothing and food", wearing official uniforms and leading officials Dai Lu, in today's words, is called comparing civil servants. The poetry collection agency is equivalent to a department like the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Pedestrians Zhen Mu Duo is on the road to collect poetry. The poetry collector shook Mu Duo to collect poems along the road. The wooden duo, which was an earlier ringer, a large bell, and a copper wooden tongue. In ancient times, important decrees were issued, or major nodes were used before the use of Mu Duo, "the ancients will have a new order, and they will strive to warn the public, so that they can listen to it", "Strive for civil affairs, and strive for Jin Duo in military affairs". For example, the spring equinox is a season, and the spring equinox was called day and night earlier. "It's the moon, day and night, Lei Nai sounds, and the electricity starts. The stinging insects are salty, and the beginning of the house begins. On the third day of the thunder, Fenmu Duo ordered Zhaomin to say: 'The thunder will speak, and those who do not stop it will not be prepared, and there will be a catastrophe. This is the word in the Book of Rites, which means that when the spring equinox begins, thunder strikes, and occasionally lightning strikes, and hibernating insects awaken and break through the earth. Three days before the vernal equinox, the wooden duo should be shaken to warn the people, "the thunder is about to break out, the words and deeds do not follow the rules of etiquette (heaven will punish), the child born will have defects, and there will be other evil signs." Day and night are the laws of heaven, and people must also abide by the laws of society. Taking this level as the starting point, it is easy to understand this sentence in the Analects: "The world has lost its way for a long time, and the heavens will take the master as the wooden duo." ”

In the past, poets collected poems, focusing on "poems of resentment", if the country did not have major merits, and sang praises to ** or leaders for no reason, it was regarded as the next work in the poem and was not accepted. The kings of those days were really remarkable, they conducted public opinion polls, not sent working groups to various places, and the opinions collected by the working groups were probably not fresh enough, and the people did not necessarily dare to tell the truth because of their concerns.

The real implementation of the poetry collection system is actually very limited. In the Sui Dynasty, some people have already sighed: "The princes do not pay tribute to poetry, the Son of Heaven does not collect the style, the music officials do not reach the elegance, the history of the country is unknown, woohoo, Si is long." Yu Jiao, a painter of the Qing Dynasty, also had a ridiculous sentence: "Collecting customs and customs, the records should be detailed; Today, I also advocate the collection of style, saying that "collecting customs and customs, and recording should be detailed" is a bit extravagant, but I hope that "Pincui is red, and the chapter is beautiful" is less, and I will say a few words of truth and truth as much as possible.
