Li Sao is the work of Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period. The poet compared himself to a beautiful woman and condemned a group of people in power in Chu at that time. Because he was jealous of the trust of the king of Chu in the poet, he used the means of spreading rumors and slandering pounds to sow discord between the king of Chu and the poet.
