"Li Sao" is Qu Yuan's most important work. As China's first long poem, it has a profound impact on both Chinese literary creation and Chinese academic research. Standing at the starting point of academic history, this book conducts an in-depth and detailed study of the text of "Li Sao" from nine major topics: segmentation method, structural model, structural characteristics, time awareness, space awareness, expression characteristics and formation mechanism of famous objects, expression techniques and aesthetic characteristics of famous objects, image of beauty, and image of Lingjun. At the same time, the appendix "Intensive Reading of "Li Sao"" provides new annotations, translations and appreciation of the entire "Li Sao", appropriately absorbing comments from predecessors, so as to gain a glimpse of Qu Yuan's amazing literary talent and tragic political aspirations.
