Li Sao describes Qu Yuan's mental journey in exile in a foreign land and his yearning for the motherland in a self-described way. The works are full of love and nostalgia for the motherland, showing a strong national consciousness and patriotism. These feelings and thoughts not only have important historical value in ancient times, but also have profound enlightenment and reference significance in modern society.
Therefore, although Li Sao written by Qu Yuan belongs to ancient literary works, its patriotic feelings and profound thinking about life still have the depth and connotation pursued by modern poetry, and it is a rare literary masterpiece.
