Chants de Chu
Direct influences of the "Chu Ci" verses can be seen in the "saoti" () style of prosody as seen in the "Epilog" of the "Cantong qi" (the "Luanci", 亂辭), and in anthologies such as the "Guwen Guanzhi". Furthermore, the verses of the "Chu Ci" would have been recited using distinctive linguistic features of the Chu version of Chinese language, together with various rare characters, which together with some of the vocabulary and the characters themselves also vary from the typical northern literature; thus, the poems of the "Chu Ci" remain as a major factor in the study of Classical Chinese poetry, cultural, and linguistic history, and the various poems or prose-poems influenced subsequent literature, including other poetry of the Han Dynasty, and subsequent Classical Chinese poetry.
