Classic of Poetry

Anthology

Classic of Poetry, or Shijing, is the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, comprising 305 works dating from the 11th to 6th century BC. Poetry has always been held in high regard in China, and it is through poetry that much of the country's history is told. It's also the source of what Xi called "cultural confidence" of the nation.
