Celebrity story: studying hard in Qu Yuan's cave

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.

In fact, the experience of successful people at all times and all over the world is the same, that is, they are willing to endure hardships and work hard, and the efforts and sweat they put into doing one thing are far more than others. Qu Yuan's great achievements in politics and literature are closely related to his spirit of hard struggle, which is worth learning by modern people.

Introduction to Qu Yuan's Poetry

When it comes to Qu Yuan, the first association that comes to mind is Li Sao. The literary level of Li Sao is excellent. When Mr. Zhou Shuren praised Historical Records, he once said that "a historian's swan song, Li Sao has no rhyme", which shows Li Sao's status.

As a poet, Qu Yuan was successful, because he opened the door to world-famous literature, and the writers and works that appeared after him came onto the stage of China history. Qu Yuan, as a politician, failed. He is full of ambition and enthusiasm, but he can't serve his country. In Chu, he was once valued by Chu Huaiwang and once gave orders in the imperial court. However, his literati temperament was incompatible with the political situation and eventually fell into a bleak situation of being dismissed from office and exiled. The dual identity of a writer and a politician makes Qu Yuan's poems have obvious patriotic feelings.

Qu Yuan's works created the style of Chu Ci and occupied a place in the history of ancient China literature. Qu Yuan's poems cover a wide range, from myths and legends to ghosts and ghosts, and he used them to create. Poetry breaks through the limitations of short stories and opens the creation of novels. They make good use of rhetorical devices such as fu, bi and xing, and their poetic style is magnificent, with ups and downs and scattered rhythm. It can be said that Qu Yuan's poems are "unprecedented" and his literary achievements are unparalleled.

If Qu Yuanxing ignores politics on the road of literary creation, his ending may be rewritten. But out of the political situation, will his patriotic grief and indignation be so passionate? Can he create Li Sao? I'm afraid I don't know.

The Legend of Qu Yuan

Qu Yuan is a historical celebrity and a household name, and there are many legends about him. As we all know, Qu Yuan was an aristocrat of Chu State and was related to the King of Chu at that time. Because Qu Yuan is so excellent, the king of Chu is afraid of Qu Yuan, and people around him are always speaking ill of Qu Yuan, so the king of Chu hates Qu Yuan even more. The direct consequence of Chu King's hatred of Qu Yuan was that he put Qu Yuan in a very remote place.

Qu Yuan made a lot of efforts, but all ended in vain. Finally, Qu Yuan felt cornered and committed suicide by jumping into the river. Qu Yuan's death fulfilled the name of a river called Miluo River.

Before Qu Yuan jumped into the river, he had a famous talk with a fisherman. Qu Yuan believes that people are all wrong and black, and only when they are right are they white. The fisherman and his idea of hating the world are different. Fishermen like to go with the flow and think that living naturally will be better. Qu Yuan disagreed with the fisherman's idea. He thinks that nobility and vulgarity can't coexist, so he feels that he can't live in this world. Regarding the dialogue between Qu Yuan and fishermen, people are still divided into two factions, each with its own camp and different values.

The people love Qu Yuan very much. It is said that there are big fish that eat people in the river. People don't want to see their loved ones eaten. So the day Qu Yuan jumped into the river, he tried his best to feed the big fish. There is a lot of rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is also a lot of rice poured into the river by the people. Later, there was the custom of eating zongzi. Zongzi has bamboo leaves or tubes outside and rice inside. Because people rowed to the river, they rowed every year, and later it evolved into the legendary dragon boat race.
