What new poetic style did Qu Yuan create?

The poetic style initiated by Qu Yuan is "Chu Ci Style". Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC) was a poet and politician of Chu State during the Warring States Period in China. Born in Zigui, Danyang, Chu (now Yichang, Hubei). Qu Yuan is the first great patriotic poet in the history of China and the founder of China's romantic literature.

What are the characteristics of the style of Chu Ci? (1) is a breakthrough in sentence patterns. Qu Yuan created a long sentence pattern with six words as the main, five words mixed with seven words, which was generally neat and flexible. This is a major breakthrough in the four fonts of The Book of Songs.

(2) It is an innovation in composition. Qu Yuan's "Sao Style" is not limited to the composition of ancient poetry, but indulges in his thoughts, or states, or mourning, or calling, which has its origin, development, circular care and extremely clear context.

(3) It is an extension of the system. Most of Qu Yuan's previous poems were only short chapters with dozens of lines. His Li Sao, with 372 sentences and 2,469 words, laid a long system of China's ancient poems.
