Li Sao is Qu Yuan's masterpiece. Qu Yuan's illness, Chu Huaiwang's refusal to listen, flattery to cover up the Ming Dynasty, and the intolerable harm of evil songs to the public led him to write Li Sao.

Written when Qu Yuan was exiled to the south of the Yangtze River, it is a poet's work full of patriotic passion.
