Qu Yuan's profile

Qu Ping, formerly known as Qu Yuan, was born in Danyang (now Zigui, Hubei Province) at the end of the Warring States Period and descended from Qu Xian, the son of Xiong Tong in Chu Wuwang. Although Qu Yuan was loyal to Chu Huaiwang, he was repeatedly rejected. After the death of King Huai, Xiang Wang was exiled because he listened to slanderers, and finally died in the Miluo River. Qu Yuan is one of the greatest romantic poets in China, and also the earliest known famous poet and world cultural celebrity in China. He initiated the style of "Chu Ci" and the tradition of "vanilla beauty". His representative works include Li Sao and Nine Songs.

"The blue water is clear, you can lick my tassel; The water in the rough waves is turbid, so you can lick my feet. " After Qu Yuan was exiled, in a conversation with the fisherman, the fisherman advised him to "keep pace with the times" instead of "looking ahead and looking back" and asking for trouble. Qu Yuan said that he would rather die by throwing himself into the river than exposing his innocent body to worldly dust. In the eyes of fishermen, life need not be too lofty. The world is clean and honest, and you can come out as an official; The world is turbid and can rise and fall with the world. As for "thinking deeply and doing high", there is no need to end up in exile. The dialogue between Qu Yuan and the fisherman shows two philosophies of life. In 278 BC, Qin conquered the capital of Chu. On May 5th of that year, in despair and grief, Qu Yuan threw a big stone into the Miluo River and died. The Dragon Boat Festival is also the result.

Qu Yuan was born in the noble State of Chu. Like the king of Chu, his surname was Mi (ǐ) and later changed to Xiong. The surname comes from Zhu Rongshi, Zhuan Xu of the Yellow Emperor; Yi people migrated from Shang Dynasty to southern Chu area. When it reached Xiong Yi, he was sealed in Chu because of his merits and lived in Danyang (now Zigui County, Hubei Province). This is Qu Yuan's hometown. At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, about the 7th century BC, Xiong Tong's son was sealed in this place called Qu County, and his descendants took Qu as their surname. The king of Chu's own family is similar to Qu's, but if it is arrogant and harmonious? Family; During the Warring States Period, Zhao and Jing, Zhao, Qu and Jing were the three surnames of the royal family of Chu. Qu can continue from the early Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Warring States Period, and has always maintained the hegemonic position of Chu. This family can be described as enduring. Qu Yuan used to be a doctor in San Lv. It is said that he was in charge of royal affairs.

Because Qu Yuan was a family of the King of Chu, he was called "the public house" or "the public house" at that time, so his relationship with Chu was of course different. The descendants of Qu, such as Qu Zhong, Qu Wan, Qu Dao and Qu Jian, all held important positions in Chu State. Qu Yuan's father's name is Bo Yong. In Qu Yuan's generation, not many people became great officials, only Qu Yuan and Qu Gai, a general who was later captured by Qin State. Qu Yuan's Chu Ci "Nine Chapters, Cherish the Recitation": "Forget poverty suddenly". It is very likely that the aristocratic family had already declined at that time.
