Chinese fu sprang from Ch'u Yuan's "Li Sao," which became the standard for poetry that depicted escapes to mystical fairylands by their authors. Poets after the Han Dynasty inherited a tradition of fu and tsu, which included three main types of fu: literati, historical, and philosophical. This article focuses on a few poems of each genre: for literati, "Yuan You" and Ssu-Ma Hsiang-Ju's "Ta Jen Fu"; for historical, Pan Ku's "Hsi Tu Fu" and "Chung Nan Shan Fu"; and for philosophical, Yang Hsiung's "T'ai Hsuan Fu" and Hsuan T'an's "Hsien Fu." This article also investigates how people with different backgrounds incorporated fairylands into their poetry and the style and characteristics thereof. In particular, how did the grand fairylands in these masterpieces reflect the true dreams and desires of the authors? Also, did the authors exhibit the same spirit as Ch'u Yuan?
