Qu Yuan /view/1646.htm Chu Ci /view/14449.htm "Chu Ci" is the first collection of romantic poetry in my country. Because the form of the poem is based on the folk songs of Chu, and the poem quotes a large number of local customs, products and dialect vocabulary of Chu, it is called "Chu Ci". "Chu Ci" is mainly the work of Qu Yuan, whose representative work is "Li Sao", so later generations also called "Chu Ci" "Sao style". At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang collected the works of Qu Yuan, Song Yu and others and compiled them into collections. "Chu Ci" has a profound influence on later generations of literature. It not only opened up the later Fu style, but also influenced the prose creation of all generations. It is the source of my country's positive romantic poetry creation. The main author of Chu Ci is Qu Yuan. He created immortal works such as "Li Sao", "Nine Songs", "Nine Chapters" and "Tianwen". Under the influence of Qu Yuan, Chu State produced Song Yu, Tang Le, Jing Cha and other Chu Ci authors. The existing collection of "Chu Ci" mainly contains works by Qu Yuan and Song Yu; most of the works by Tang Le and Jing Cha have not been handed down. The characteristics of Chu Ci were summarized by Huang Bosi of the Song Dynasty in the "Preface to the Compilation of Chu Ci": "All the poets in the Song Dynasty wrote Chu language, composed Chu sounds, recorded Chu places, and named Chu objects. They can be called 'Chu Ci' ." This statement is correct. In addition, the historical legends, mythological stories, customs and customs involved in the works of Qu and Song Dynasty in "Songs of Chu", as well as the artistic methods used and the rich lyrical style, all have a distinct Chu cultural flavor. This is the basic feature of Chu Ci, and they are an important part of Chu culture that complements the Central Plains culture.
