In modern Chinese, "literature" includes the meaning of "literary classics". The earliest collection of Chinese poetry, the Book of Songs, showcases daily life scenes and human emotions at that time, such as "Wei Feng · Ge Ya" and "Zhao Nan · Magpie Nest". The style of ancient Greek literature and art is related to its historical geography and socio-cultural conditions, and celebrations and sacrificial activities play a significant role in the development of literature and art. Ancient Greek poetry, dance, and music originated from the festival of the god of wine, and epic poetry, drama, and festive activities are inseparable. The Homeric epic incorporates the processing and modification of the singer in its transmission, recitation, and performance, forming a complex textual phenomenon. The ancient Greek epics comprehensively reflected the social and cultural conditions, events, and daily life scenes of the time. They were popularized through legislative means and recitation, enhancing the aesthetic and language abilities of the people and promoting the formation of the classical literary criticism tradition.
