A Chinese poem dating from the Warring States period of ancient China. The early poetic tradition of China survives mainly through two anthologies, one being the Chuci, the other being the formally distinct Classic of Poetry (or Shijing). The poem "Li Sao" is the lead poem and the main inspiration for the Chuci collection. This famous piece was written by the person generally known as Qu Yuan, an aristocrat of the Kingdom of Chu. In his signature poem "Li Sao", Qu Yuan manifests himself in a poetic character, which is a major landmark in the tradition of Classical Chinese poetry, contrasting with the anonymous poetic voices encountered in the Shijing and the other early poems which exist as preserved in the form of incidental incorporations into various documents of ancient miscellany。
中譯大意：
中國古代詩歌。 中國早期的詩歌傳統主要通過兩個選集，壹個是楚辭，另壹個是正式的詩歌經典（詩經）。 這首詩“離騷”是自創詩，也是楚辭奇收藏的主要靈感。 這個著名的作品壹般被認為由楚國屈原寫的。 屈原在他的“離騷”中，表現出壹種詩意，是古典中國詩歌傳統中的重大裏程碑，與詩經的匿名詩意和其他早期詩歌保持壹致，以偶然的形式組合成古代的化詩作。
