The "Analects of Confucius" mentions "poetry" in the following paragraphs:

Zigong said: "Poetry says: It is like cutting, like exchanging, like plowing, like grinding. This is why "What do you mean?" Confucius said: "You can only tell those who have come before you can tell them what is coming." ("Xue Er") Confucius said: "Three hundred poems. In one word, it is said: "Thinking without evil" ("Wei Zheng")

Zixia asked: "What does it mean to have a beautiful smile and a beautiful eye?" Confucius said: "Painting is done after the fact." He said: "Is it after the ceremony?" Confucius said: "The person who gave the gift is the merchant, and only then can he write the poem." ("Eight Yi")

Confucius said : "Guanyong, happy but not obscene, sad but not sad." ("Eight Yi")

Zi Suo elegantly said: "Poems", "Books", and Li Zhi are all elegant words. ("Shu Er")

The beauty of Tang Di is the opposite. Don't you think that the room is far away? Confucius said: "I have not thought about it yet. How far away is my husband!" ("Zihan")

Confucius said: "Son, why don't you learn from your husband's poetry? Poetry can be inspired, observed, and grouped together. , you can complain. Those who are near are your father, those who are far are your king. You are more familiar with the names of birds, animals, and trees." ("Yang Huo")

The "poems" mentioned in "The Analects" all refer to it. The Book of Songs or its contents require special attention when studying The Analects of Confucius.
