"Chu Ci" is a style of poetry created by Qu Yuan, a great poet in the Warring States Period. The work uses the literary style and dialect rhyme of the Chu region (today's Lianghu area) to describe the mountains, rivers, people, and historical customs of the Chu region, and has strong local characteristics. During the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang compiled Qu Yuan's works and the works of Song Yu and others who "inherited Qu Fu" into a collection called "Chu Ci", which became a collection of poems that had a profound impact on Chinese literature after the "Book of Songs".
