Li Sao analyzes Qu Yuan's personality characteristics from both internal and external aspects.

Lisao is one of the representative works of Qu Yuan, a famous poet in the Warring States Period, and it is the longest political lyric poem in the history of ancient Chinese poetry. The poet described his life experience, moral character and ideal, expressed his anguish and ambivalence when he was victimized by slanderers, exposed the political reality that the king of Chu was fatuous, the clique was rampant, and Japanese rule was ineffective, and showed the poet's self-love spirit of adhering to the ideal of "American politics", not colluding with evil forces and his loyalty to the Chu dynasty.
