After Chu Ci was spread to Japan, there were different images of Qu Yuan in scholars’writings of different eras for more than a thousand years. During the Heian period of Nara, Qu Yuan was commonly considered to be concerned about his country. During Kamakura, the Muromachi period, he was viewed to be loyal. At the time of the Suzuki, he was regarded as independent and honest, but was unrecognized to show his talents. Through the late Edo period and the Meiji Restoration, Qu Yuan was seen as a patriot. And in recent times, with the integration of culture, the image of Qu Yuan has been denied among some scholars, The accepting of Qu Yuan's image reflects both the personal emotion of the recipient and the political and cultural mentality of the historical group.
