The book of songs, which is often referred to as the book of songs, was only called the book of songs in ancient times. After Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the word "Jing" was added, which was called the book of songs. Together with Shu, Yi, Li and Chunqiu, they are called Wujing. The book of songs we see today has a total of 311 chapters, six of which have titles but no contents. There are actually 305. The main idea of the quotation is that Confucius said: "three hundred poems, summed up in one sentence, are" thinking without evil. " Thought, auxiliary word, nonsense. The book of songs is the only poem about horses in the book of songs. It ends with "thinking of innocence, thinking of masu (C ú)" It means that the horse has no evil ideas and runs as fast as it can. By analogy, Confucius said "thinking without evil" means "no evil thoughts". in the era of Confucius, there were not many books for students to read, and the book of songs was used as a teaching material after being collated and processed by Confucius. Confucius studied the book of songs deeply, so he summed it up with "thinking without evil". The explanation of the book of songs in the Analects of Confucius is based on the principle of "thinking without evil".
