Contribution of Confucian Poetics Recorded on the Shangbo Bamboo Slips to the Theory of Poetry Education

Confucian Poetics contributed largely the system of poem remarking and theory creation to the Confucian theory of poetry education.Confucian Poetics insisted on remarking on the poem itself rather than on casually quoted lines or inferring one from another.The author of the bamboo-slip book applied both Confucian view of character in the pre-Warring-Kingdoms days and thought of ceremony and propreity in studies of poetry and showed the theoretical trend of being humanistic in motivation and ceremonial in thinking,which is of vital enlightening significance to establishing the theoretical mode of poem remarking in the later days.
