Lament for Ying (Chinese: 哀郢; pinyin: Āi Yǐng) is a poem which has sometimes been attributed to Chinese poet Qu Yuan, and dated to around 278 BCE. Lament for Ying is from the "Nine Declarations" (Jiu Zhang) section of the Chuci poetry anthology, compiled in ancient China. The Ying in the title is a toponym (placename). The word Ai implies a post-destruction lamentation for this place. [1] Ying was famous as the capital of the kingdom of Chu, Qu Yuan's homeland.
