Eros, introversion, and the beginnings of 'Shijing' commentary

Article Abstract:

The ancient Chinese odes known as the Shijing were often quoted in later centuries to indicate proper courtly speech. Confucius recommended that his students learn the morals they taught. Commentaries on the Shijing are very old, but the early ones assumed the connection between the interpretation and the words of the ode. One of the first explicit commentaries is the 3rd century BCE Wuxingpian. The next such commentary comes a century later in the Han dynasty.

Getting there from here: locating the subject in early Chinese poetics

Article Abstract:

Early Confucian and Taoist poetry treat the spatial location of a poem's subject differently. Both regard space as produced by the process of thought and awareness. Confucian poetry is based on a stable center and responds to its surroundings in a symmetrical manner. Subjects in Taoist poetry move in unpredictable ways and ignore their environment. Confucian poems predate Taoist developments.
