Chuci in the history of China ancient literature

(1) The Songs of Chu is a new poetic style created by Chu people headed by Qu Yuan on the basis of their own folk songs during the Warring States Period.

(2) The Songs of Chu is a collection of poems by Liu Xiang, a Han Chinese, which includes the poems of Qu Yuan, Song Yu, Dong Fangshuo of Han Dynasty, Huainan Mountain and himself.

It is another collection of poems after The Book of Songs, with a total of 17 poems, of which Qu Yuan's works account for the vast majority. (1) Qu Yuan, whose real name is Ping, was born in Chu State during the Warring States Period. He "studied and memorized extensively, knew how to control chaos and learned how to use words". Politically, he advocated cultivating Ming statutes and uniting against Qin, which was opposed by conservatives and exiled twice (former-Hanbei; After-Jiangnan Dongting). He died in Miluo River on May 5, 278 BC.

(2) Qu Yuan was the first great patriotic poet in China, and his poems expressed the feelings of worrying about the country and the people and the resentment of the top gun.

Famous articles: Li Sao, Tian Wen, Nine Chapters, Nine Songs, etc.

(3) Li Sao is Qu Yuan's masterpiece, an immortal romantic masterpiece, and the first lyric poem in ancient China (the first narrative poem is Peacock Flying Southeast in Han Dynasty). The famous sentence in the poem is: It's a long way, but this is Xiu Yuan, so I will do it from top to bottom. It laid the romantic foundation of China's classical poetry.

(4) China is called coquettish in the history of poetry. "Feng" refers to the national style of The Book of Songs, and "Sao" refers to Li Sao, both of which represent literature.
