puts it, "[t]he Chu ci poems, however popular, belonged to no canon, dealt in matters that were outlandish and unorthodox, and originated outside of the area of sanctified Western Zhou tradition." However, part of the Chu ci tradition includes a Confucian outlook, glorifying the loyal minister who prefers death over compromising his integrity. Following its Han Dynasty publication, the Chu ci was subject to various editorial treatment, including various commentaries and editions. The order in which the sections of the Chu ci are currently generally arranged was established through editorial re-arrangement during or following the tenth or eleventh century. However, this is not true of The Lament. In the Wang Yi edition, it is titled "Lisaojing". The other works (juan) of the Chu ci anthology generally fall in the category of zhuan, or exegesis or amplification upon the original "classic" text. The influence of the Chu ci projects itself through the works of poets, including Jia Yi, Shen Quanqi, Zhang Yue, Du Fu, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, and Su Shi.
