Nine Debates is a lyric poem written by Song Yu, a Chu writer in the Warring States Period. This poem mainly expresses the general feeling of "poor people's dereliction of duty and uneven ambition" in ancient China society. To some extent, it reflects the darkness of reality and expresses that the poet "shows his brilliance in a chaotic world, which is not what he likes;" It is better to be poor and raise high than to be meaningless and famous.

Nie Shiqiao, a modern man, said in the New Notes on Chu Ci: "Song Yu and Qu Yuan are not teachers and students, and have no intention of losing their teachers. The pity in Nine Arguments is all Song Yu's self-pity. It was Song Yu who used ancient music to express his feelings and worries. Similar to Qu Yuan's Li Sao, it is an autobiographical long lyric poem. "
Taking ancient music as the theme of the poem, the author of this paper expresses his sorrow that he was suppressed and could not display his political talents, and exposes the corruption of the ruling group of Chu and the darkness of society. Using the method of feeling in the scene, the natural seasons, the political climate of Chu State and personal life experience are organically integrated, and bleak autumn scenery runs through the whole poem, reaching the realm of scene blending.
The sentences are long and short, uneven, sounding sonorous and full of charm. Just like Mr. Lu Xun's evaluation of "borrowing ancient topics to make a new system" and "sad sounds." (Outline of China Literature History)
