The evocation of spirits in Chu Ci directly influenced the development of seven-character poems in Han Dynasty. Chu Ci embodies the noble thoughts of Qu Yuan and others who care about the country and love the people, and has become a model for literati in past dynasties. Ode to an Orange has a far-reaching influence on later poems about objects. Sima Qian spoke highly of the literary value of Li Sao in Historical Records: "Its words are exquisite, its ambitions are numerous, and its actions are inexpensive. As the saying goes, the text is small and the meaning is big, and it is far-reaching. "
