Wang Yi's Chapters of Songs of the South are titled Lisao Jing, and Hong Xingzu in the Song Dynasty pointed out in the Supplement to Songs of the South: "Later generations used their words to describe and respected them as classics." Some people also refer to it as "Li Sao Fu" or "Sao". From the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Li Sao was often cited as the general name of all Qu Yuan's works. In the history of literature, it is often called "Feng" and "Sao". "Feng" is used to summarize the Book of Songs and "Sao" is used to summarize the Songs of the South. In Li Sao, the poet used many metaphors to mercilessly expose the ugliness of the ruling group and attacked their evil, lust, greed, lewdness and violence. At the same time, he also created a character image of upholding justice, pursuing truth, not avoiding difficulties, not afraid of persecution, and loving the country and the people. Li Sao is a romantic lyric poem with practical significance. In poetry, the poet uses a lot of exaggerated and romantic expressions, whether it is the portrayal of the hero image or the description of some things. The full use of myths and legends has spread colorful fantasy wings and strengthened the charm of Li Sao. In Li Sao, Bi Xing is widely used. For example, he used vanilla as a metaphor for the nobleness of poets, for the relationship between men and women as a metaphor for the relationship between monarch and minister, and for driving horses as a metaphor for governing the country. The form of Li Sao originated from the oral creation of Chu people, and the poet turned it into a novel, which contained rich contents. Its language is refined, absorbing many dialects of Chu language, and its sentences are quite distinctive. The Songs of Chu is a collection of poems by Qu Yuan and Song Yu in the Warring States Period, which was compiled by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty and written by Wang Yi in the Eastern Han Dynasty. These poems use the poetic style and dialect rhyme of Chu State to describe the local customs of Chu State, which has a strong local color, hence the name "Chu Ci". Li Sao was written after Qu Yuan was demoted. This poem has a certain position in the history of China, so the poet is also called "the poet". Poet's post-evaluation: The Book of Songs is the source of urban realism, and Li Sao is the source of romanticism. Apart from Li Sao, Qu Yuan's famous work is Nine Songs. Originally, it was the name of a legendary ancient song. During the Warring States period, Qu Yuan, a Chu people, adapted or processed it according to folk songs and used it to worship the gods. * * * Eleven articles: Emperor Taiyi, Prince in the Cloud, Lady Xiang, Little Siming, Hebo, National Mourning, Ritual Soul.
