Since Zhu Xi’s negative comment on Dongfang Shuo’s Qi Jian
there are few objective comments on it. This paper raises that we should go back to Wang Yi’s positive comment in Chu Ci Zhang Ju
and Dongfang Shuo’s character to reconsider the ideological and literary value of Dongfang Shuo’s Qi Jian. Firstly
Qi jian comes from Qu Yuan’s experience. It has the same meaning of Jian in Bei Hui Feng
Xun Zi and Fei Xian Sheng Lun. Secondly
Dongfang Shuo’s Qi Jian recalls Qu Yuan’s unfortunate life
criticize dark society and political turmoil
reveal Qu Yuan’s fidelity and summarize the reason of Qu Yuan’s failure. Dongfang Shuo’s Qi Jian has high ideological and literary value. Finally
Qi Jian as the first Fu to memorize Qu Yuan in alternative language in Han Dynasty has literary value and its important role in the development of Chu Ci.
