 Qu Yuan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He initiated the style of Sao, which is named after his work Li Sao, in which he abandoned the classic four-character verses used in poems of Shi Jing and adopted verses with varying lengths, which gives the poem more rhythm and latitude in expression.
Qu Yuan is also regarded as one of the most prominent figures of Romanticism in Chinese literature, and his masterpieces influenced some of the greatest Romanticist poets in Tang Dynasty such as Li Bai and Du Fu.
Other than his literary influence, Qu Yuan is also held as the earliest patriotic poet in China history.

Special attention is paid to Tan Dun, whose composition Feng-Ya-Song, though being the recipient of an award in Germany, resulted in the outlawing of public performance of Tan Dun compositions for a brief period in 1983-1984, not long after he had received accolades in China for his piece Li Sao.
That the Weber prize-winning string quartet was singled out for attack while Li Sao was awarded a prize in China is both ironic and revealing.
As Barbara Mittler writes in Dangerous Tunes, Li Sao is “radical in its critique of the detrimental state of his country’s government of bribery and sycophancy...

 Yang Xiong [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Generally speaking, the Old Text School was associated with the simpler, more pragmatic philosophy of Confucius’s native state of Lu, while the New Text school was associated with the often fantastic writings of Zou Yan (305-240 BCE), a native of Qi and founder of the yinyang and wuxing schools of thought.
As Yang Xiong explains in his autobiography, Fan Sao was written in response to Li sao (Encountering Sorrow), a poem by the legendary Warring States poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BCE).
While Yang Xiong’s Fan sao is similar in style to Qu Yuan’s Li sao, its outlook is very different.

 1996 AAS Abstracts: China Session 145   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
This begins in as early a text as the Li sao; from then on, verse writing (especially the shi) has played an essential part from Han to the Republic in clarifying, defining, or (in some cases) mystifying the social and cultural construction of male elites.
However, although the importance of poetry has always remained in evidence, how poetry was used throughout the past two millennia has depended largely on the problematics of intellectual history, of social and cultural development, and of politics.
In the past decade, scholars have continued to study the Li Sao from the perspective of literature, society, and archaeology; new evidence has demonstrated the vibrant cultural life of the state of Chu, and new insights into the contributions of the South to Han society have been suggested.
