"Nine Songs" is a legendary ancient music song title, and it is a new song that attacks the old name, which has little to do with the number of songs. Nine Songs is a group of poems composed of 1 1, including Dong Huang Tai Yi, Jun in the Cloud, Xiang Jun, Mrs. Xiang, Priestess of Death, Shao Siming, Dong Jun, Hebo, Shan Gui and Guo Guo. Before 10, three types of 10 gods were sacrificed, namely: Emperor Taiyi, YunZhongJun, Priestess of Death, Shao Siming and Dong Jun; Didi: Xiang Jun, Mrs Xiang, Hebo; Ghost: national mourning. The last article "Ritual Soul" is to send the Divine Comedy.
Poetry reproduces the whole process of offering sacrifices to the grave. In the form of chorus, wizards or witches dress up as gods or sing as gods, so some scholars think that Jiuge is the embryonic form of ancient musicals. "East Emperor Taiyi" solemnly and devoutly wrote the highest god-Tiandi. He did not describe his image characteristics, but mainly rendered sacrificial furnishings and song and dance scenes. "National Mourning" praises the soldiers who died for their country, reproduces the battle scene, is generous and heroic, and is full of patriotic passion. "Ritual Soul" is the end of the whole poem, writing songs and dances after offering sacrifices to God. Other articles try their best to spread the form of God, shaping God into a distinctive artistic image with rich feelings and unique personality: the monarch in the cloud is chic and elegant, the hero in the East is brave, Hebo is carefree and affectionate, and his wife is touching and radiant, Priestess of Death is dignified and solemn, inaccessible, young and beautiful, gentle and touching, and Shan Gui is bright and affectionate. And focus on depicting God's love, making them miss each other like men and women on earth, full of admiration, doubt, doubt, joy and sadness. This way of pleasing God and euphemistically praising God with love between men and women is unique in sacrificial songs. In essence, these poems are humanized, secular and life-oriented to God, which fully shows the romantic spirit of the author and even the whole Chu people who love life and nature.
In art, ingenious and peculiar ideas, magnificent and bright pictures, lively and changeable language, strong images, harmonious rhythm and magnificent and elegant style have been deeply loved by readers since ancient times.
