He is known for his patriotism and contributions to classical poetry and verses, especially through the poems of the Chu Ci anthology, 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.
