摘要

Conficius’ Theories on Poetry and The Prologue To Mao Poetry are different in their ideas of application of poetry, which leads to their different fashions of analyzing poems. For one thing, the former analyzes poems within poems, while the latter does beyond. For another, the former is an apparent fashion of handling the affection and aspiration in poems, while the latter is a hidden fashion.

This misreading has resulted in the debate on whether to honor The Prologue To Mao Poetry or abandon it in the learning history of The Book of Songs .
