China's earliest poetry anthology (the originator of China's literary anthology and poetry anthology), the earliest verse. Chu ci describes personal feelings and fantasies, and the words are gorgeous, romantic and mysterious. In the Han Dynasty, Qu Yuan's poem Li Sao and Song Yu's (Chu State in the Warring States Period), Mei Cheng's and Jia Yi's poems Li Sao were written into a book (written by scholars).
2. Different forms: The Book of Songs is mainly composed of four words, with a total of 305 articles. The Book of Songs has six meanings: style, elegance and praise are the contents; Fu, Bi and Xing are spiritual practices. The syntax of Chu Ci is relatively long, with six or seven different words. Most of them use "Shao" and "function words" to prolong the tone, which is easy to recite. Its rhyme is long and descriptive, and it is the first of Han Fu.

Different creators: The Book of Songs is the beginning of China's ancient poetry and the earliest collection of poems, which collected poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period (1 1 century to the 6th century), ***3 1 1. Six of them are Sheng poems, that is, they have only titles but no contents, and they are called Six Sheng poems (Nanchang, Bai Hua, Nectar, Yougeng, Chongqiu and Youyi), which reflect the social outlook of about 500 years from the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to the weekend.

1. The appearance of The Book of Songs and Songs of the South is 300 years apart. The works in The Book of Songs were produced in the Yellow River Basin from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period (only a small part was produced in Hanshui Basin). There are not only court and official creations, but also folk creations collected by official music institutions. It clearly reflects the culture of the Yellow River basin, especially the characteristics of Zhou Wenhua. It pays attention to rationality, has less fantasy elements, is more restrained emotionally, and has a strong moral and political color.
At the end of the Warring States period, which was more than 300 years apart, Qu Yuan's Chu Ci appeared in the southern land, pushing the pre-Qin literature to a new peak. The 300-year period between The Book of Songs and The Songs of the South is a very active period of pre-Qin culture. Any type of literary works has experienced changes from simple to rich. Especially in the Warring States period, the spread and exaggeration of words became a universal pursuit.
2. Regional cultural differences. In the era when The Book of Songs came into being, our ancestors established an agricultural society with patriarchal clan system as the core in the Yellow River valley where natural conditions were quite difficult. In order to survive and develop, this society needs strong collective strength, stability and harmony of internal order, and accordingly it needs to suppress individual freedom and romantic fantasies of its members.
Since the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, cultural exchanges between Chu and the North have become increasingly frequent. In Chu Ci, especially Lisao, we can see the pedigree of "sages" originating from the Central Plains, but Chu culture still maintains some important characteristics of itself.
