"Chu Ci", also known as "Chu Ci", is a poetic style created by Qu Yuan, a great poet in the Warring States Period. The works use the literary style and dialect rhyme of Chu area (now around the two lakes) to describe the mountains, rivers and historical customs of Chu area, which has strong local characteristics. In the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang compiled Qu Yuan's works and Song Yu's works "Cheng Qu Fu" into a collection called Songs of the South. It became a collection of poems that had a far-reaching influence on China literature after The Book of Songs.
The original meaning of Chu Ci refers to the writing of Chu, which is gradually fixed into two meanings: one is the genre of poetry, and the other is the name of poetry collection (which also represents Chu literature to some extent). As far as the poetic genre is concerned, it is a new poetic style created by poets represented by Qu Yuan on the basis of Chu folk songs at the end of the Warring States Period. As far as the collection name is concerned, it is a collection of poems written by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty on the basis of predecessors, which includes the works of Qu Yuan and Song Yu, Chu people in the Warring States Period, as well as parodies of Jia Yi, Huainan Xiaoshan, Zhuang Ji, Dong Fangshuo, Bao Wang and Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty.
The name of "Chu Ci" first appeared in Historical Records and Biography of Zhang Tang. It can be seen that this name already existed in the early Han Dynasty at the latest. Its original meaning refers to Chu Ci in general, and later becomes a proper name, which refers to the new poetic style represented by Qu Yuan's creation during the Warring States Period. This poetic style has a strong regional cultural color. As Huang, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "Everyone writes Chu language, Chu sound, Chu land and Chu objects" (On the East View). At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang collected the works of Qu Yuan and Song Yu, as well as the works of Han people imitating this poetic style. The title is "Song of the South". This is another far-reaching poetry collection in ancient China after The Book of Songs. In addition, because Qu Yuan's Li Sao is a masterpiece of Chu Ci, Chu Ci is also called "Sao" or "Sao Style". People in the Han Dynasty also generally called Chu Ci "Fu". There has been a saying that Qu Yuan wrote Fu in Historical Records, and there are also names such as Qu Yuan Fu and Song Yu Fu in Hanshu Yiwenzhi.
In the Han Dynasty, Chu Ci was also called Ci or Ci Fu. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang collected 16 works by Qu Yuan, Song Yu and Huainan Xiaoshan, Dong Fangshuo, Wang Bo and Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty, and named them "Songs of the South". Chuci became the name of poetry collection again. Qu Yuan's Li Sao is a masterpiece of Chu Ci, so Chu Ci is also called Sao Style or Sao Style.
