Qu Yuan : State of My Knowledge, Briefly

Taiwan's Cloud Gate Dancers do a bit of evocative shaman dancing:




Major Sources on Qu Yuan:

Qu, Yuan. The Songs of the South : An Ancient Chinese Anthology of Poems. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 1985. The huge introduction here is my end-all source for information.

Waters, Geoffrey. Three Elegies of Chʻu : An Introduction to the Traditional Interpretation of the Chʻu tzʻu. Madison Wis.: University of Wisconsin Press, 1985. Not really a major source, perhaps so much as an interesting exercise in philology which I would like to investigate (together with Kael, perhaps).
