| Abstract
|
:
|
"One of the Five Confucian Classics, The Book of Songs is the oldest collection of poetry in world literature ... Confucius and his followers used the songs as texts for moral instruction and examples of the highest wisdom. They are the wellspring of Chinese poetry, the inspiration for important strains in Eastern philosophy, and the source of much of the allegorical imagery in Chinese art."--Back cover.
