Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), Han nationality, was born in Chu Danyang (now Zigui, Hubei) at the end of the Warring States Period, and was a descendant of Qu Xian, the son of Chu Wuwang Xiong Tong. He created the style of "Chu Ci" and was praised as "a poet in clothes, not a generation". He is also a famous patriotic poet in the history of China. Of his works, 25 are recorded in Hanshu? Literary and artistic records mainly include Li Sao, Nine Chapters, Nine Songs, Tian Wen, Ai, Huai Sha and so on. Li Sao is Qu Yuan's masterpiece, with more than 370 sentences and more than 2,400 words. It is regarded as the longest political lyric poem in ancient China. Wang Yi's Songs of the South are called Lisao Sutra. In Song Dynasty, Hong Xingzu pointed out in the Supplement to Songs of the South: "Later generations used their words to describe and respected them as classics." From the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Li Sao became a collective synonym for all Qu Yuan's works. In the history of literature, "Feng" and "Sao" are often called "Sao" together. "Feng" is mainly used to describe The Book of Songs, while "Sao" is used to summarize The Songs of Chu. Li Sao was created orally by the Chu people and later transformed. Its refined language has absorbed many dialects of Chu, and its sentences are quite distinctive, leaving a valuable cultural heritage for future generations.
Li Sao has always been regarded as a lyric poem with realistic romanticism by scholars. The poet used a lot of exaggerated romantic expressions in his poems to shape the image of the protagonist and describe things, and made full use of the ancient myths and legends of China, thus making it more verve. Bixing is also often used in Li Sao. After entering the 20th century, Qu Yuan was elected as a world cultural celebrity and received extensive attention and commemoration. The above is for reference.
