Abstract: The paper proposes that Shao, rhyme prose, and Fu, poetic prose, were two different styles and should be differentiated from each other and that the works of QU Yuan, a famous patriotic Chu poet, should not be called as Fu. The paper attempts to differentiate the two through investigating the different situations in which they originated from, their different stylistic characteristics and the different ways of evolution. The paper also briefly discussed several related issues, such as how LIU Xie and XIAO Tong, who lived during the Shui Dynasty (?year to year?) distinguished the two and why intellectuals during Hang Dynasty called QU Yuan's works as Fu. The paper helps clarify the right name for QU Yuan's works.
