Chu Ci
Qu Yuan (–278 BC) was a Chinese poet and politician in the State of Chu during the Warring States period. He is known for his patriotism and contributions to classical poetry and verses, especially through the poems of the "Chu Ci" anthology (also known as "The Songs of the South" or "Songs of Chu"): a volume of poems attributed to or considered to be inspired by his verse writing. Together with the "Shi Jing", the "Chu Ci" is one of the two greatest collections of ancient Chinese verse. He is also remembered in connection to the supposed origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.
