China is a country of poetry. Five thousand years of cultural accumulation and the oral singing of countless ancestors have condensed many gem-like works in the brilliant sea of poetry.

The ancient people in China attached importance to the teaching of poetry and learning in private schools, all from reciting China's classics. Confucius said more clearly when educating his son Kong Li: "If you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say". This is because poetry has a kind of educational function of "feeling heaven and earth and moving ghosts and gods"

"Preface to Mao Poetry" says: "Poets are also aspiring. Have ambition in your heart and speak like a poem. " The traditional "ambition" is written as "speech ambition", with "speech" on the left, "ambition" on the right (meaning where to go) and "heart" below. According to the understanding of the ancients, poetry is an activity to express "the place where you want to live", that is, to present your thoughts and intentions. If you have determination in your heart, it is poetry. Therefore, China's poems focus on people's inner excitement, behind which are lofty personality ideals, sincere thoughts and feelings and profound literary accomplishment. People should care about the universe, life and even everything. Learning poetry means caring for the plants, animals and birds in the world, including the gathering and dispersion of people.
