 The literary type of Chuci 楚辭 "Poetry of Chu" or "Poetry of the South" is a sort of poem that found its origin in the works of Qu Yuan 屈原 (d. 278 BCE), a high minister in the state of Chu 楚. After his death, many persons from that region imitated his style of writing. The formal style and the themes of this poems was so different from the poems of the states in the Yellow River plain that it was always treated as a separate type of literature. The most famous poem is Qu Yuan's Lisao 離騷 "Sorrow after departing". The style of the Chuci and commentaries to these poems have been included as a separate sub-category in the collectaneum Siku quanshu 四庫全書. It includes only 6 writings of and on this type of poetry (Huang).

 LI SAO (The Lament) is not only one of the most remarkable works of Ch'ü Yüan, it ranks as one of the greatest poems in Chinese or world poetry. It was probably written during the period when the poet had been exiled by his king, and was living south of the Yangtse River. (http://www.chinapage.org/poem/quyuan/quyuan-e.html)

	My death was a tragedy to those who admired me and my work. They were so devastated that when they heard of my suicide they ran to their boats and came quickly to find my body but were unable to find my body. Because they had no idea where my body had gone they made an effort to scare fish and other water creatures from eating me by beating the water with their paddles. They also threw zongzi, rice dumplings wrapped in silk, as a sacrifice for my spirit and/or distract the fish from my body (CHF).		My death was a tragedy to those who admired me and my work.
