Since the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, Chu has been a powerful country in China at that time. Since Chu Zhuangwang entered the Central Plains, the rulers of Chu have shown their ambition to unify the world. When the wheel of history entered the Warring States period, Chu and Mo were hidebound and lacked the ambition of reform, and were left behind by the countries that later advocated the political reform of the landlord class. Chu's national power gradually declined, and in the years-long war with western Qiang Qin, there was no bloodshed and the city was not guaranteed. However, the decadent aristocratic group of Chu, headed by Wang Huai, is partial to a corner, and still leads a drunken life, regardless of the safety of the country and the nation.
Qu Yuan lived in such an era environment. He has a clear understanding of the situation of various countries and the present situation of Chu. "Everyone was drunk, and I woke up alone." . In order to save Chu from danger and realize the long-cherished wish of "protecting the monarch and rejuvenating the country", the poet advocated and implemented a series of political reforms centered on "American politics" in the conservative Chu State. Because the reform violated the vested interests of the old aristocracy, it was strongly vilified by the small aristocratic groups. Although the poet is "loyal and suspicious, faithful and slanderous", he would rather be a broken jade than a broken jade, and he showed high integrity, patriotism and sincerity in the struggle against the powerful ministers and traitors. The poet's life is bumpy, and the poems bred in pain show that the poet is dedicated to serving the country and stressing the national conditions. His patriotic spirit is famous throughout the ages and sets an example for future generations.
First, the core of Qu Yuan's patriotism is to adhere to the ideal of "American politics" and reform unhealthy politics. As a far-sighted political figure in the Warring States period, the poet knew the social situation at that time like the back of his hand. Qu Yuan knew that the era he lived in was an era of embezzlement and attack. In this era, the law of the jungle was practiced: there were disputes between countries, people died, and rivers of blood flowed. The existence of weak countries can only make people breathe and become vassals; The demise of a weak country is only the sacrifice of interest competition. At this time, Chu has been in a crisis, and the situation is in jeopardy. However, the monarchs and ministers of Chu turned a blind eye to the potential threats, and they were still addicted to strings and music. The poet is worried that if he follows the tiger's tail, he will be involved in the spring ice. How he hoped that the rulers of Chu would wake up from drunkenness, face the cruel reality, unite as one, rectify the political platform, make great efforts, make great achievements, reproduce the former glory of the Central Plains and complete the ideal of reunifying China. The poet calls this ideal "beautiful politics". "Since beauty is not enough, I'll live in Mr. Peng's house." I want to use "American politics" as a good way to revitalize the conservative and backward Chu state.
