Although most of the texts there recorded were irretrievably lost, the available information about the genre enables us to assume, firstly, a further growth in the popularity of <em>chuci</em> poetry in the spiritual life of the 3rd6th centuries and among a variety of groups of educated people: from court scholars to literati, who preferred a free-from-service lifestyle, and, secondly, the existence of a series of different versions of the <em>Chuci</em> collections. Thirdly, we may assume the formation of the commentary school of <em>chuci</em>, within which the most important directions of the future studies in the area have emerged.</p>Chinese poetryversesChuci collectionsSix Dynasties epochTang epochbibliographical treatisesSuishuJiutangshuXintangshu.китайская поэзиячуские строфысобрания «Чу цы»эпоха Шести династийэпоха Танбиблиографические трактаты«Суй шу»«Синь Тан шу»«Цзю Тан шу».[Beishi 北史 [A History of the North].
