Shijing is one of the earliest art forms in Chinese literature, also it is the most developed genre. Shijing is four-word patterned and its rhythm is two-two pulse. And Shijing is the headspring of the Chinese poem pattern in the later time. Some of the poems of Chuci are basically patterned in Shijing′s form After Shijing came out, it has been followed by many excellent poets, such as Cao-Cao, Ji-Kang, Tao-Yuanming etc. Tao-Yuanming accepted Shijing in wide and various aspects. He did not only follow the pattern of Shijing, but also introjected his individuality in the poems, thus endow a new artistic conception in his poems. Tao-Yuanming inherited the pattern and the meaning of the verses, therefore, there is the style of Shijing in his poems. The innovation of Tao’s poems is that they became more literal, and less folk. Besides the tradition of the irony of Shijing, Tao’s poems also reflected some philosophy theories, especially the Confucianism by which Tao-Yuanming thought of his life. Tao-Yuanming imitated Shijing, but he gave the poems a new life.
