The name "Chuci" originated from the Western Han Dynasty. It has two meanings: first, the name of poetic style refers to a poetic carrier created by Chu poets such as Qu Yuan at the end of the Warring States period on the basis of Chu folk language and folk songs.
The second is the name of the poetry collection. The works of Qu Yuan, Song Yu and others, and the simulated works of later generations were collected by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty and named Chu Ci. As Qu Yuan is the pioneer of Chu Ci, his works are the most representative in both quality and quantity.
