《诗经》 / Shijing
《诗经》 / Shijing enters this wiki branch through 《资治通鉴·周纪》07丨两起刺杀（2）, where the episode cites “十月之交” and the line “日有蚀之” to explain why solar eclipses were politically serious in ancient China.
The page is source-scoped. It does not summarize the whole Classic of Poetry; it records the episode’s use of a Shijing eclipse notice as evidence for Celestial Omen Political Responsibility / 天象政治责任.
《资治通鉴·周纪》09丨战国时代的世界大战 adds a second citation route: 子思 quotes a Shijing line to criticize a court where everyone claims wisdom and no one can distinguish better counsel from worse. The source uses the citation for Court Feedback Collapse / 君臣反馈失灵 rather than omen politics.
《资治通鉴·周纪》10丨 以家族单位 有蚂蚁吃大象的精神（4） adds a much more operational use. In the episode, 赵苍唐 uses Shijing references to communicate the future 魏武侯’s longing and grievance to 魏文侯 without blunt accusation, and Wei Wenhou’s own response depends on the son recognizing a Shijing-coded summons. The source therefore turns Shijing into elite political language: a shared repertoire that lets status, emotion, and command move indirectly.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》124｜焚书坑儒？！我在B站为秦始皇平反！ adds the other side of that political power. Under 李斯’s 秦代焚书令, private possession and discussion of Shijing become dangerous because the classic can support non-Qin standards for judging the present. The episode therefore turns Shijing from elite communication resource into a target of official learning control.
