"travel" Theme Study

There is a content of ChuCi what shows a theme of "Wandering in the Sky". It was created by Qu Yuan and copied by the literati of Han dynasty what had had a great influence over the literature of aspiring to the immortality from then on. And it bred a new literature theme—the theme of aspiring to the immortality. The magnificent and gorgeous imagination and the huge sense of freedom, which bring about the unique glamour of "Wandering in the Sky", were derived from the social and racial experience of the ancients. The ideas of nature and ancestor deities, which rooted in the cognition of soul that combined with nature and ancestor, were the foundation of "Wandering in the Sky" that consisted of "fling to the Kunlun Mountains" and "using the deities as servants".Li Sao and Wandering in the Sky were the important phases of "Wandering in the Sky". Li Sao, by virtue of importing the idea of "fling to heaven", poured a exploratory and dauntless spirit into "Wandering in the Sky" with a dark and fervent emotion. And Wandering in the Sky, which assimilated the idea of immortality and the idea of "leaving the politics far away", altered the mediumistic and religionary atmosphere. It changed the soul into body, and endowed the "Wandering in the Sky" with the meaning of "leaving the politics far away".
