Extended information:
"Li Sao" uses a lot of writing and ink to write about various herbs, and also mentions "" Beauty" or "beauty". The spiritual herbs in "Li Sao" symbolize the poet's beautiful qualities and the poet's pursuit of beautiful qualities, and the image of "beauty" not only metaphors the relationship between monarch and minister, but also symbolizes the poet's passionate pursuit of ideals and the pain of failure in pursuit.
The use of the image of vanilla beauty makes "Li Sao" not only rich in connotation, but also very romantic. The image of "vanilla beauty" is Qu Yuan's artistic innovation, which is actually closely related to the geographical environment of Chu State, the witchcraft culture of Chu State, and Zhuangzi's romanticism.
