Abstract：The Book of Poetry and music were originally symbiotic. Cricket recorded on Tsinghua Bamboo Slips was an impromptu song sung by Duke Zhou. According to Ji Zha’s comment on music of Zhou Dynasty, Tang Feng (唐风) was composed by Taotang. The anthology of Feng poetry is classified by sound. Cricket is included in Tang Feng because it was performed with the music of Taotang, and Ji Zha made comments on the meaning in its music. In the time of Confucius, both poetry and music were popular. He discussed the theme of Cricket with “the music of Taotang”, and also the meaning of the poem and music. The music of Zhou Dynasty was lost after the Han Dynasty. The meaning in the music of Cricket was therefore forgotten while more attention was attached to the meaning of the poem. Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty could only draw on the predecessors’ conclusion that poetry and music were inseparable. Henceforth, the interpretation of Cricket was gradually less about the meaning of its music but more about the meaning of its text. Cricket was then deconstructed as a satirical text and there have been more open-ended interpretations of Cricket ever since.
