Qu Yuan, he started an era.
Then why is it called Sao style? Sao style is a literary genre, and Qu Yuan's Li Sao is the best of this kind of theme and a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. Even after so many years, we can still read its meaning.
Because Li Sao is called Chu Ci. Many people write Sao style, mostly imitating Qu Yuan. Perhaps for everyone, Sao style is more acceptable than Chu style. Perhaps because Qu Yuan is the best writer, Sao style is also called Sao style in Qu Yuan's Li Sao. Perhaps if there were no Li Sao, it would be more called Chu Ci.
Since Qu Yuan's Li Sao is the origin of Sao style, it is natural that Qu Yuan's poems and songs should be said to be Sao style. From Li Sao, we can see that Qu Yuan used a lot of "Xi" and let go of his feelings to express all this.
Qu Yuan's Sao style broke many old rules and established his own poetic world. It's amazing! Of course, many people imitated it later, and Sao style also had a great influence on later Han Fu.
Therefore, Qu Yuan's poems and songs can be called Sao style, and Li Sao has established Qu Yuan's unshakable position in Chinese poetry culture. Li Sao has a great influence on later generations.
