How did Qu Yuan die?
Today is the fifth day of May, Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone knows that we will eat zongzi and race dragon boats on this day to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan, but do you know how Qu Yuan died? Hey hey! Someone must have raised their hands and said, I don't know yet. Qu Yuan committed suicide in Miluo River! No! Today I will announce the correct answer-the real cause of death of Qu Yuan! Qu Yuan did not commit suicide, but homicide, and it was murder! What about the cause of death? In layman's terms, it is to die for the love of men and women. The evidence is as follows: First, Qu Yuan had no motive to commit suicide. If he was concerned about his country and people, he wouldn't have to wait until he was so old. After so many years, he would have died of grief. Secondly, there are seventeen differences between the suicide note written by Qu Yuan before his death and Li Sao (of course, this has to be explained by a professional professor), which shows that it was not written by him personally, but copied by someone; Finally, why is the custom of Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan? Why eat zongzi and race dragon boats? The real cause of Qu Yuan's death is of course politics. He should have an affair with Mrs. Zhu. Although his "Lady Xiang" is a sacrifice to the water god, the expression of love between men and women and the melancholy mood of "looking forward to God, praying and not seeing" described in it are actually consistent with his situation at that time. After Chu Huaiwang's death, the authorities worried that Qu Yuan would use this relationship to gain power, so they ordered Qu Yuan to be killed. Qu Yuan rode all the way to the Miluo River, changed boats and fled, but was caught by a boat chasing after him. After being tied, he threw himself into the Miluo River, leaving a parody poem. But when people saw this scene, they were afraid to say it, so they used dragon boat races and zongzi to record this event, and over time it became the current Dragon Boat Festival. The story is over! I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
