Qu Yuan
Qu Yuan manifests himself in a poetic character, in the tradition of Classical Chinese poetry, contrasting with the anonymous poetic voices encountered in the "Shijing" and the other early poems which exist as preserved in the form of incidental incorporations into various documents of ancient miscellany. The rest of the "Chuci" anthology is centered on the "The Lament", the purported biography of its author Qu Yuan.
