将屈原这个历史人物放在当时的社会环境中考察发现，他不仅是一位伟大的爱国主义诗人，更可贵的是一位杰出的政治改革家．他的代表作《离骚》实质上是一篇政治改革失败的自白书．旨在总结楚国行将灭亡的历史教训，向当世和后人作一历史性交代． Putting Qu Yuan’s historical figure into the social environment at that time shows that he is not only a great patriotic poet, but also an outstanding political reformer. His masterpiece Li Sao is essentially an autobiographical book on the failure of political reform. The purpose is to summarize the historical lessons of the perishing of the Chu Kingdom and make a historic account of the present and future generations.
