The first half of the chapter repeatedly expresses the poet's concern for the fate of Chu State and people's lives, expresses his desire to reform politics, and his will to adhere to his ideals and never compromise with evil forces despite disasters.
The second half of the chapter reflects the poet's thoughts and feelings of loving the country and the people through statements about wandering to heaven, pursuing and realizing his ideals, and wanting to die after failure.
