Qu Yuan was born in a declining aristocratic family in Chu State. Although his family is not as good as its heyday, he also leads a comfortable life. The elders in the family are knowledgeable and attach great importance to Qu Yuan's tutor. Qu Yuan knew that the blood of the royal family of Chu flowed in him, and he was very strict with himself since he was a child.
There is a mountain not far from their home, and the environment in the mountain is quiet and quiet. There are very few people except hunters who come here to hunt. Qu Yuan is studying at home. In winter, the brazier burns vigorously and the room is warm. Soon Qu Yuan felt sleepy. He remembered the story of scholars studying hard in ancient books, so he thought of studying in the cave behind his home, so that he could exercise his mind and read without taking a nap.
After he told his family what he thought, he was unanimously opposed by his family. However, despite the obstruction of his family, Qu Yuan came to the mountains alone with books, found a back wind tunnel and began to study. The temperature in the mountains is already very low, and the caves are colder and wetter. Before long, Qu Yuan's hands and feet were swollen with cold.
He stood up, stamped his feet and rubbed his hands. When he warmed up, he began to sit on the ground and read. The family thinks that Qu Yuan is so young and can bear hardships, so they don't want it. Qu Yuan persisted in the cave for three years and finally read the Book of Songs thoroughly. This also laid a solid literary foundation for his later creation of Chu Ci.
Expand the materials of Qu Yuan's spirit;
As a great patriot and patriotic poet, Qu Yuan was admired by later generations. His deep and persistent patriotic enthusiasm, his spirit of persisting in ideals, unyielding death, pursuing truth and boldly criticizing reality in political struggle set an example for later writers. There are many poems in Lisao that show Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit.
After the failure of political struggle in the early Han Dynasty, Jia Yi was demoted to Changsha. When he passed the Miluo River, he felt that he had a similar experience with Qu Yuan and wrote a very painful "Mourning Qu Fuyuan". On the one hand, I mourn Qu Yuan and introduce Qu Yuan as my confidant. On the one hand, he studied Qu Yuan's creative spirit and boldly exposed and attacked the dark social reality.
Sima Qian, a great historian and writer, praised Qu Yuan even more, and made a biography of Qu Yuan in Historical Records, which correctly affirmed Qu Yuan's historical position.
The life consciousness embodied in Qu Yuan's works is mainly manifested in two aspects. On the one hand, time flies, beauty's sense of urgency and cold sense of death. Facing the changes of the four seasons in nature, it can arouse people's sense of time and life, and the ancient China literati's expression of the sense of disappearance of beauty is endless from generation to generation. But no one has felt a sense of urgency or even fear in the face of fleeting time like Qu Yuan.
