Yuan You
"
Yuanyou" or
Far-off Journey (; ) is a short work anthologized in the
Chuci (楚辭 ''Songs of Chu'', sometimes called ''The Songs of the South''). "Yuanyou" is a poetic
conceit involving a shamanic/Daoist flight to various places on earth and in heaven. Traditionally attributed to
Qu Yuan, there is little likelihood that he is the actual author, and the imagery of the cosmos and of the beings and deities encountered during this vast trip are rather typical of the literary circle around the
Han Dynasty Prince of Huainan
Liu An, according to David Hawkes. (2011 [1985]: 191 – 193)
