Why did Qu Yuan describe a beautiful and noble figure with the image of a long grass beauty in Li Sao?

Because the image of "vanilla beauty" is the basic image of Qu Yuan to express his feelings.

The expression in Li Sao can often be the expression of the character's character and the sustenance of the character's value orientation. The appearance of vanilla can be said to be the external expression and internal belief of its spiritual strength.

It shows Qu Yuan's political experience and personality quality all his life, and also expresses the humanistic life and people's living conditions at that time.
