Qin Feng Jia Jian is a poem in The Book of Songs, a collection of China's ancient realistic poems. This poem was once regarded as a mockery of Qin Xianggong's failure to consolidate his country with Zhou Li, or as a pity for not being able to attract hermits.

It is generally believed that this is a love song, which is about the melancholy and depression when you pursue what you love but can't get what you love. The whole poem consists of three chapters, and the last two chapters are only slightly changed compared with the first chapter, which has formed the effect of harmonious internal rhythm and uneven rhythm between chapters, and also caused the reciprocating advancement of semantics.

Creation background

This poem was once regarded as a mockery of Qin Xianggong's failure to consolidate the country with Zhou Li (Preface to Shi Mao and Jian Zheng), or as a pity that he could not attract hermit sages (Yao Jiheng in The Book of Songs and Fang Yurun in The Original Book of Songs).

But unlike most poems in The Book of Songs, the content is often more specific. There are no specific events and scenes in this poem, and even the gender of "Iraqis" is difficult to identify.

The above two understandings may be based at the beginning, but these bases have not survived, or they are not convincing enough, so their conclusions are questionable. Most scholars regard it as a love poem, and there is no pursuit for the person they admire.
