Qu Yuan's JiuGe has rich features of Chu witchery culture, the formation and development of Chu witchery culture is impacted by YinShang witchery culture, the aboriginal culture of Jianghan and the sacrifice culture of Spring and Autumn and Warring State Periods. YinShang witchery culture is the decisive factor in the forming of Chu witchery culture, and determines the mental outlook and cultural characteristics of Qu Yuan's JiuGe. Jianghan cultural traditions of aboriginal witchery is the important soil for the production of JiuGe, and determines the unique artistic characteristics of JiuGe; Spring and Autumn and Warring State Periods' sacrifice culture provides Qu Yuan's writing of JiuGe with the basis for survival and development. Literature research tells us that JiuGe originates from sacrifice songs which were used to entertain God and people in the times of XiaQi. After the "Liyue system" is established in Zhou Dynasty, the cultural function of JiuGe, of which the main characteristic was being used to entertain God before, is changed, and becomes a political tool to educate people, but in Chu where is far away from the Central Plains, JiuGe is still growing in accordance with its initial nature. Qu Yuan's JiuGe saves many traces of the sacrifice songs, its sacrifice content has clear difference with that of the Central Plains. JiuGe reflects the scene of Chu custom impacted by witchery culture, its sacrifice objects and the way to welcome and entertain God are obviously different from those of the Central Plains. The sacrifice objects of JiuGe are more natural Gods, and its sacrifice Gods have obvious traces of the necromancers.The existing literature, there were two JiuGe: First, "Zuo Zhuan" recorded in the "Song of Germany 9"; another for the "Book of Mountains and Seas", "Li Sao" contained in the color with Shenyi "Myth Nine Songs." The test indicates that the so-called "nine German song" Confucianism is to safeguard the rule of Zhou Dynasty and the political propaganda, and the "myth of Nine Songs" with the original festival atmosphere, it seems that more and "Nine Songs" similar to the original meaning. Through right "primitive nine songs" the sacrificial offering and the entertaining research may know, "the primitive nine songs" are the summer begin using in the self-entertainment and the amusement god sacrifice song, this has established "Nine Songs" the thick witch culture color.JiuGe in the worship of gods, and only the object of worship for the emperor, the "Nine Songs" should be for the state ceremonies. The witch under the influence of culture, for the national festival of JiuGe in the content offerings on the central plains of the country different from the offerings. First of all, ritual objects. Central Plains region to the main ancestors of God, their hope-you Jiangshan Sajik and JiuGe while the natural God-based, the performance of the original religion. Secondly, Towards God's way. Central Plains region to food to satisfy the gods; Chu Strip marked the original, so as to plants to satisfy God, this is because they believe that plants have some magical voodoo; Finally, the entertainment the way of God. Although the Central Plains and Chu to have music, song and dance to entertain God means to do so, but the performance of the content there is a clear difference. Zhou dynasty of the solemn ritual scenes of silence, to glorify their ancestors, JiuGe due to the impact of the original religion, or God to express God's love between people of God mainly.
