The background of the emergence of Chu ci

Qu Yuan initiated the creation of Chu Ci, which went through a long process from the spread in the pre-Qin period to the collection in the early Han Dynasty and finally to the compilation of Liu Xiang in the late Western Han Dynasty.

Qu Yuan was ostracized and framed by Mix, which made Chu Huaiwang, who once trusted him very much and relied on his reform and self-improvement, have doubts about him, and even alienated from exile. After King Xiang of Chu came to power, he became more fatuous and increasingly corrupt in politics. Chu was facing the crisis of national subjugation and persecuted patriots like Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan's moral integrity, noble personality and patriotic actions have all become crimes. He turned his anger into poetry, forming an emotional appeal. Wind arouses Chu is the style of Qu Yuan's Chu Ci.

Chu Ci experienced Qu Yuan's creation, imitation after Qu Yuan's submission, collection in early Han Dynasty and collection by Liu Xiang. This book should have been written between 26 BC and 6 BC. Liu Xiang's original book Chu Ci died early, and later generations can only trace back and guess the original appearance indirectly through Wang Yi's Chu Ci (the original book is gone) and Song Hongxingzu's Chu Ci Supplement (Chu Ci Supplement).
