There are not many poems in the Book of Songs that can determine the specific age of writing. The "six meanings" of the Book of Songs refer to the wind, elegance, song, fu, comparison, and xing, the first three are the content, and the last three are the techniques. Roughly speaking, "Song" and "Ya" were produced earlier, basically in the Western Zhou Dynasty; "National Style", except for "Feng Feng" and part of "Ernan", were all produced in the early and middle Spring and Autumn period. The contents of the Book of Songs include:

Wind (15 Kingdoms: Zhounan, Zhaonan, Shao [bèi], 墉 [yōng], Wei, Wang, Zheng, Qi, Wei, Tang, Qin, Chen, Hui [huì], Cao, 豳 [bīn]

Most of them are polished folk songs. "Wind" includes the folk songs of 15 places, including some places in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and northern Hubei (Qi, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin) today, called "15 national winds", with 160 articles, which is the core content of the "Book of Songs". "Wind" means earthy wind, wind ballad. For more famous verses of the Book of Poetry, please pay attention to the relevant articles on the Xigutang Sinology Network.

Although most of them are the works of scholars, there are also many laborious words similar to rumors in Xiaoya, such as Yellow Bird, I Walk in the Wild, Gu Feng, He Grass is Not Yellow, etc.

Song (three songs: Zhou Song, Lu Song, Shang Song)

"Song" is a sacrificial music song, divided into 31 "Zhou Song", 4 "Lu Song", and 5 "Shang Song", a total of 40 articles.
