Li Sao has a very high position in literature because of its high literary attainments. The whole poem mainly expresses Qu Yuan's fighting spirit, lofty feelings for the people and patriotic feelings till death do us part. Among them, the monarch is incompetent and the court officials are in cahoots, but he just wants to stick to himself and never collude with evil forces.
Qu Yuan's position in the literary world is so high because he is the first great romantic poet and the first people's poet in the history of China literature. Moreover, he also created his own Sao style, that is, Chu Ci, which shows how great Qu Yuan was, but he finally jumped into the river and died. Although Qu Yuan finally bid farewell to this world with such an ending, he gave many literary treasures to future generations. "Li Sao" is one of the texts that senior high school students must recite, because it is worth learning by future generations. Not only the literary attainments in it, but also the emotions expressed by Qu Yuan are very valuable. These are all cultural treasures.
Of course, in the history of China, there were too many unhappy poets like Qu Yuan, but they especially wanted to serve the imperial court. Let's just say that he was born at a bad time and couldn't give full play to the strength of these people.
