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.
