Features: The study of the Book of Songs is another field where Professor Sun achieved significant results. Based on the Book of Songs, he corroborated with other materials, starting from analyzing the forms of exploitation in land systems in the poems, to illustrate the transformation process of the Western Zhou from a feudal lord system to a landlord system. He also used ethnological methods to interpret the Book of Songs, uncovering the mysteries of twenty-three love songs. Additionally, through his exploration of the Great Elegies·Sang Rou, he proved that King Li's flight to Zhu was the first great uprising of serfs in Chinese history. These studies all demonstrate unique insights.
