Secondly, Qu Yuan's works are closely related to myths. Many illusory contents are developed from myths. Qu Yuan is also a poet who pays attention to reality. His works reflect various contradictions in the real society, especially the dark politics of Chu.
Thirdly, the style of Qu Yuan's works is obviously different from the Book of Songs. From the institutional point of view, most of Qu Yuan's previous poems, whether the Book of Songs or southern folk songs, were short stories, but Qu Yuan developed into long masterpieces. In the way of expression, Qu Yuan skillfully combined Fu, Bi and Xing, and used the metaphor of "vanilla beauty" to vividly express abstract morality, consciousness and complex realistic relationship. In terms of language form, Qu Yuan's works broke through the four-sentence pattern in The Book of Songs, with each sentence ranging from five, six, seven, eight and nine characters, as well as three sentences and cross sentences. Grammar is uneven and flexible. "Xi" and function words such as "Zhi", "Yu", "Hu", "Fu" and "Er" are often used at the end of sentences to coordinate syllables.
Finally, Qu Yuan's poetry works had a far-reaching impact on northern literature. With the continuous spread and development of "Songs of the South", the literature in the north gradually became Chu. The new five-character poems and seven-character poems are all related to Chu Sao.
