Sima Qian's evaluation of Li Sao, "said Di Ku on the top and Qi Huan on the bottom, and described Tang Wu in the middle to stab the world. It is impossible to see the breadth of morality and the coherence of chaos. " This is to praise the practical significance of its content. "National Wind is lewd but not lewd, and Xiaoya is resentful and not chaotic. If it is "Li Sao", it can be said that it is both. " "Its words are subtle, its ambition is clean, its line is cheap, its words are small and its meaning is great, and it is far-reaching for example." This is a high evaluation of the aesthetic value of Li Sao. While appreciating it, Sima Qian also practiced this aesthetic ideal in the creation of Historical Records.
