The book is mainly based on Qu Yuan's works, and the rest are also in the form of Qu Fu. Because the poetic style of Chu Ci is processed on the basis of folk songs in Chu, the paper quotes a large number of styles, dialects and local products in Chu, so it is called Chu Ci.
The time of writing The Songs of Chu should be between 26 BC and 6 BC. In literature, it created the poetic style of China's romantic literature, so later generations called this style "Chu Ci" and "Sao".
