How to publish and spread ancient poems:

1. Ballads and songs

The "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" in "The Book of Songs" "National Style" is a folk song from fifteen places? A certain ancestor felt something and sang it uncontrollably. This was "publishing" a poem. Everyone felt that it expressed their feelings, so they sang it from side to side. Poetry collectors sent by the Zhou Dynasty went to collect folk songs and compiled this song.

In the Qin Dynasty, the "Yuefu" institution was formally established. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and called the Yuefu music "song poetry", so it has been passed down.

2. Poems presented by ministers

Scholar-officials were extremely worried about difficult and dangerous times. Out of concern for the stability of the ruling order, they wrote poems and dedicated them to the supreme ruler to attract attention, such as Poems in "Daya" and "Xiaoya". Of course, there are also people who praise their virtues. The ruler thought it could be used to show future generations, so he kept them.

3. Poems written on walls

When poets became popular, they quickly wrote on the walls with their pens, and their poems were widely circulated and copied. For example, Su Shi's "Inscription on the Wall of Xilin", Song Zhiwen's "Inscription on Dayuling Beiyi", Luo Binwang's "Singing Cicadas in Prison", Wang Anshi's "Book on Mr. Huyin's Wall", etc.

4. Gifts are poems

Relatives and friends will travel far away, Tao people will hold a farewell banquet, and send poems to express their feelings. For example, Cao Zhi's "Gift to Wang Biao on the White Horse", Cui Hao's "Gift to Wang Weigu", Gao Shi's "Farewell to Dong Da", Wang Changling's "Farewell to Xin Jian at Furong Tower", Chen Zi'ang's "Jiqiu View of Ancient Times" and "Gift to Master Lu for Collection", etc.
