ON THE TYPE OF “SHANGUI”IMAGE IN CHUCI

All sorts of ideas on the type of about ShanGui in ChuCi can't be confirmed by the figure of the poem shangui. According to the poem, setting about the data from the earth and wide culture background in ChuCi times, I think that Shangui is not a goddess on earth, not a ghost, and not a concrete legend maid, but a female ancestor of chu nation. It's to say, shangui's type is a sanmiao tribal female chief. It was just the time of the Qin and Chu war that shangui was written in Jiuge .
