In Confucius' time, how well one understood The Book of Songs was a sign of his social status and cultural attainment. If one did not study it, one would find it difficult to improve one's ability to express oneself and to converse with people of high social status. Confucius' elaboration on the relationship between studying The Book of Songs and social interaction actually expounds on the importance of literature in education.The saying “Without studying The Book of Songs, you cannot speak well” reveals Confucius’ literary and educational thought. In ancient aristocratic society, poetic quotes were essential in formal conversations. Learning ancient poetry polished people’s language and demonstrated their cultivation. From a modern perspective, this remark still proves that literary study shapes our communication skills and overall literacy.
