There are many people praising in The Book of Songs, and the objects of praise are also very wide. One of the most important objects to be praised is the good ministers and famous soldiers of various countries. Qi 'ao is a hymn of images, but its reference to time, place and characters is not strong, so it can be said that the image in the poem is not a true reference, but a noble scholar-bureaucrat in the Zhou Dynasty, which has universal reference significance. The whole poem is divided into three chapters and repeated. But in terms of content, it is not distributed according to poems, but the praise content is integrated into three chapters. This is because the poem itself is short, so it can't be described in detail, nor can it be described one by one according to all aspects of the object of praise, so it can only be summarized in a miscellaneous way. At the same time, the contents of the three chapters are basically the same, which plays the role of repeated praise and makes the listener more impressed.

"Qi Ao" repeatedly eulogizes the excellence of scholar-officials in several aspects: First, the appearance. The official is handsome, dignified, tall and neatly dressed. "Full ears" and "meeting like stars", even the decorations on the crown clothes are exquisite. The description of appearance is very important for shaping an elegant gentleman image. This is the first impression for readers. The second is talent. "If you are incisive, if you are cutting, if you are grinding", the article is very knowledgeable. In fact, this is a compliment to the gentleman's administrative ability. Because Dr. Qing is in politics, the drafting and formulation of official documents is the main work content. As for "more important than Xi" and "good at joking", it highlights the gentleman's ability to communicate with foreign countries. There were many vassal States in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was a test for every scholar-bureaucrat to be able to correspond to them without losing their national style. It seems that poetry expresses the outstanding ability of a gentleman to deal with internal affairs and diplomacy from two aspects: writing articles and communication, and highlights the image of a good minister. Finally, the most important aspect is to praise this gentleman's noble character. "Beautiful as jade, broad and generous", he is determined, honest, broad-minded and approachable, and is indeed a saint. It is precisely because he is a sage and a good minister in politics, coupled with the solemn and luxurious appearance decoration, it is even more awe-inspiring Therefore, the two sentences at the end of the first and second chapters are straightforward: "There are bandits, so don't be embarrassed! "From the inner world to the exterior decoration, from internal affairs official documents to foreign affairs negotiations, this scholar-bureaucrat was a typical virtuous minister at that time, and it was inevitable that he was praised by people. This poem highlights the image of a gentleman from three aspects, from the outside to the inside. Some sentences in the poem, such as "as incisive as A Cuo, as polished as a millstone" and "good at joking but not cruel", have become words for later generations to praise a certain character or character, which shows that the poem "Seven Aos" has far-reaching influence. Notes on Mao's Poems: "Those who write the poem" Seven Ao "have the virtue of beauty and martial arts. With articles, I can listen to the rules of friends and ministers, and I can defend myself with courtesy, so I can enter the week. Therefore, beauty is poetry. "

Zhu Chuanshi said: "If Wu Gong repents, he can listen to the rules and defend himself with courtesy." . People who defend others can't cover this. Therefore, the preface takes this poem as a beautiful weapon. "
