Huang Tingjian said: "If you want to write Chu Ci and catch up with the ancients, you must be familiar with Chu Ci, observe the twists and turns of the ancients, give lectures, and then write."

Wang Ruoxu said: "The Songs of the South is a unique article, which is difficult for future generations to catch up with, but it is similar."

Later generations learned to write Sao-style poems and Fu because Chu Ci provided a space for literati, especially those with lofty ideals, to express their concern for the country and the people and to sacrifice to the dead. At the same time, the unique Chu dialect, such as Chu tune, flexible rhyme, patchwork sentence patterns, romantic mood, realistic style, tragic spirit, humanistic care and so on. It provides a powerful tool for literati to express their worries and grievances, irony and exhortation.

For more than 2,000 years, the voice of Chu Ci has been heard, just like the Jingjiang River flowing silently: from Song Yu's Nine Arguments, "Sadness is autumn" to Jing Ke's Yi Shuige, "The wind blows and the water cools, and the strong man is gone forever";

From Confucius's "Song of Dragging Staff", "Is Mount Tai decadent? Is Liang a bad person? Is the philosopher faded? " , to the Han Gaozu's "Song of the Wind", "The wind blows and clouds fly, Wei Jiahai returns to his hometown, and the warriors guard the quartet";

From Xia Wanchun's "Evocation", "Looking at the water town of Yi Xi, Zhan Liu, autumn is sad everywhere, sad and sad!" , to Liang Qichao's "Sacrificing Six Gentlemen", "The earth is fragrant, China is vast, and 400 trillion people are immortal. If you know it, you can learn this fragrance ";

From Qiu Jin's Bao Dao Ge, "May heaven and earth be furnaces, yin and yang be charcoal, and iron gather in six continents. Create a treasure knife and clarify China. Following the great reputation of the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor, wash away the shame of thousands of years of national history! " , to Yu Youren's "Looking at the Mainland" "Bury me in the mountains and look at my mainland; The mainland can't see, only cry! Bury me in the mountains and see my hometown; Hometown is intangible and can never be forgotten! The sky is gray and wild; Shan Ye, there is national mourning! "

Forgive my ignorance, but there are few Sao poems except Qi Diao's New Interpretation of Songs of the South. In fact, this style is more flexible and rich than metrical poetry, more elegant than the arrangement of modern poetry, full of ancient rhyme, and promising! I am so grateful!
