This book delves into the songs cherished by people of the Zhou Dynasty as documented in the Book of Songs. By examining these works through the lens of education (remembering that music was key to education in the ritual-based Western Zhou society), we can explore various aspects of education during this period, including the core content taught, the methods employed, the intended outcomes, and the underlying rationale behind these educational practices. By closely examining these topics, we can gain a deeper understanding of the foundation upon which education was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
