Chuci has two meanings, one is a carrier of Qu Yuan's poems, and the other is what?

The original meaning of Chu Ci refers to the writing of Chu, which is gradually fixed into two meanings: one is the genre of poetry, and the other is the name of poetry collection (which also represents Chu literature to some extent).

As far as the poetic genre is concerned, it is a new poetic style created by poets represented by Qu Yuan on the basis of Chu folk songs at the end of the Warring States Period. As far as the collection name is concerned, it is a collection of poems written by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty on the basis of predecessors, which includes the works of Qu Yuan and Song Yu, Chu people in the Warring States Period, as well as parodies of Jia Yi, Huainan Xiaoshan, Yan Ji, Dong Fangshuo, Bao Wang and Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty.
