Why do Qu Yuan’s poems contain a lot of the word “xi”?

xi?, classical Chinese auxiliary word; "ah" or "ah", so xi is equivalent to ah in modern poetry, used to express emotions.

Introduction:

Qu Yuan (about 340 or 339 BC - 278 BC) was a poet and politician of the Chu State during the Warring States Period in China. Born in Danyang, Chu State (now Yichang, Hubei Province). Mi's surname is Qu's, her given name is Ping, and her courtesy name is Yuan; her name is Zhengze, and her courtesy name is Lingjun. In his early years, he was trusted by King Huai of Chu and served as Zuotu and Sanlu officials, and was also in charge of domestic and foreign affairs. He advocated "beautiful government", advocated appointing talents internally, amending laws and regulations, and advocating to unite Qi to resist Qin externally. Because he was ostracized and slandered by the nobles, he was exiled to northern Han Dynasty and Yuanxiang River Basin. After Qin general Bai Qi captured the Chu capital Ying (now Jiangling, Hubei), Qu Yuan sank into the Miluo River and died for his country.
