Chants de Chu
Although "Chu Ci" is an anthology of poems by many poets, Qu Yuan was its central figure, both as author of the The Lament section and in the persona of protagonist. There are various other authors which are also thought to have written various sections of the "Chu Ci", as well as some sections which may derive from some traditional source. Various scholarly sources propose solutions for who wrote what, in the "Chu Ci", with more doubt or questions about some sections than others. Besides the actual authorship of the diverse material of the "Chu Ci", another scholarly concern is in regard to the history of who and when these pieces were collected and anthologized into one work, and also what other editorial work was done. Besides the authorship of the actual content, much commentary has been written in regard to the "Chu Ci", some of which is traditionally incorporated into the printed editions.
