The text under “Ya《雅》” (“Hymns”) and “Song《颂》” (“Eulogies”) appeared in King Kang period of the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC), and since then, the compilation of the text of Shijing (the Book of Songs) emerged continuously. When Ji Zha (季札) viewing music and dance, there were already very mature texts of Shijing. By the time of Confucius, the propriety disintegration (rites collapse, music spoilt) caused the confusion of the text of Shijing. As a result, Confucius collected various versions of the text and compiled them again, which is mentioned as “Master Confucius Deletes Songs” in the Records of the Grand Historian. The text of Shijing compiled by Confucius is mainly based on ancient books, which basically continues the arrangements of the time when Ji Zha viewing music and dance. Confucius’ purpose of “deleting songs” is to revive rites and music. However, given his time and his own situation, this desire is difficult to realize. The text compiled by him was mainly used for teaching and existed as a Confucian classic for a long time. After the burning of books of Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC), the four different versions of Shijing in Han Dynasty, following the tradition of Confucius in compiling the text, gradually became national classics.
