Since ancient times, the remonstrance system has bred the political civilization tradition of remonstrating with poems.As a byproduct of this politicalartistic activity, satiric poetry not only occupies a large proportion in the book of songs,but also formed the typological characteristics that distinguish them from other poems in terms of content and artistic expression.On this basis,Confucius put forward the proposition that “poetry can complain”,which promoted the systematic process of “poetry” teaching.The original meaning of SimaQian’s theory of “being assiduous in book writing” should first be understood in the context of his cultural ideals.It has its own origin and characteristics and has no direct in relation with “poetry can complain”.However,the socalled “expressing after discontentment” and “adversity reverals genius” in later generations were more a misreading and extension than the inheritance and development of “being assiduous in book writing”.K
