Full of loyalty and patriotic spirit. "Li Sao" is a song of sadness and resentment written by the poet with full of patriotic passion and blood and tears. Loyalty, resentment and patriotism are its main thread. The first half of the poem mainly describes the unfair treatment encountered by the poet who is determined to serve the country and be noble and self-sufficient, showing the conflict between the poet and the dark reality of Chu State.
"Li Sao" is a literary work created by Qu Yuan, a poet of the Warring States Period. "Li Sao", Wang Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty interpreted it as: "Li means farewell; Sao means sorrow." "Li Sao" takes the conflict between ideals and reality as the main line, with the comparison of flowers, plants and birds and the bizarre and psychedelic "seeking for a girl" goddess The whole poem is developed alternately with the emotional ups and downs in autobiographical memories and the recurring, fleeting illusions. The work expresses concern for the fate of the Chu State and people's lives, "sad for the hardships of the people's livelihood" and laments the treacherous nature of the people. It advocates "promoting talents and granting talents" and "following the rope without making mistakes". He proposed that "the Emperor and Heaven are selfless" and criticized the theory of destiny. The large number of metaphors and rich imagination in the works show the spirit of positive romanticism and create the "Sao" poetry form in Chinese literature, which has a profound influence on later generations.
