The perfect combination of Li Sao's high artistic achievement and its rich and profound ideological content makes it a masterpiece in the history of China literature and has a far-reaching influence on later generations. Mr. Lu Xun once praised it as "an excellent speech" (an outline of China's literary history) and gave a high evaluation.
Song Qi, a famous historian and poet in Song Dynasty, said: "Li Sao was the ancestor of Ci Fu and was written by later generations. You can't be polite, you can't exceed the moment. " In other words, Li Sao not only opened up a vast literary field, but also was an unattainable model of China's poetry and prose.
