What are the characteristics of Qu Yuan's poems?

Qu Yuan's works express strong and tragic feelings with unrestrained writing style. Han Confucianism once said that Li Sao and Xiaoya in The Book of Songs are both works of no pain. In Xu Xiaoxiu's poems, Yuan Hongdao, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, refuted the statements that Li Sao was extremely angry but not angry, and that it was party member, and pointed out that "vigorous and vigorous, towering and revealing" was the characteristic of Chu style. His opinion is obviously correct. Not only that, Qu Yuan praised his personality, he was spontaneous and sincere. Sing the love of the gods, passionate and incisive; Celebrating the sacrifice of martyrs is warm, generous, sad and heroic ... In short, compared with the overall restrained and gentle emotional expression in The Book of Songs, Qu Yuan's creation shows emotional liberation to a certain extent, thus creating a brand-new poetic style full of vitality and strong appeal. Because of the need of this kind of emotional expression, Qu Yuan can't be satisfied with plain writing techniques, but draws on Chu's mythological materials in a large amount and uses strangeness. It greatly expands the realm of poetry and presents a magnificent face. This opened up a new path for the creation of China's classical poetry. Poets with strong personality and emotion in later generations, such as Li Bai and Li He, were deeply inspired by it.

Qu Yuan is a poet who loves beauty. He does not deny the beauty of all kinds of art with a narrow utilitarian view. In "Nine Songs and Evocation", the passionate scenes of music and dance and the emotions caused by them are rendered everywhere. In Qu Yuan's works, this is a beautiful scenery. Similarly, his poems are like many colorful ones. Give plants, fish, insects, birds, wild animals, Yun Ni and other natural things human will and life, give them their own thoughts and feelings, and increase the aesthetic feeling of poetry. Generally speaking, the schools that pay attention to literary beauty in China ancient literature can be traced back to Qu Yuan.

In the form of poetry, Qu Yuan broke the short and pithy system of The Book of Songs, and created a "Sao-style poem" with long or short sentence patterns, grand length and rich and complicated connotations, which is also of great significance.

In a word, Chu Ci, which was initiated by Qu Yuan, together with The Book of Songs, constituted the two sources of China's poetry and even the whole China literature, and had an infinite influence on later literature. Due to the development of the times and the cultural differences between the north and the south, the Songs of the South has made remarkable progress compared with the Book of Songs. Therefore, its influence on later literature is even greater than that of The Book of Songs.
