Introduction:
Qu Yuan told his disciple Song Yu about his poem Ode to an Orange, praised Chenpi's "independent and sincere" character, and warned Song Yu to "live bright and die upright" and be an indomitable person in this turbulent era. This is actually a poetic summary and self-expression of Qu Yuan's lofty ambition of being aboveboard and loving his country and people. Qin Wei destroyed the alliance between Chu and Qi, and sent an envoy, Zhang Yi, to lobby the king of Chu, falsely claiming that the Qin Dynasty broke up with Chu in a land of 600 miles, provided that Chu broke up with Qi. Qu Yuan, the left disciple, saw through the heart of the tiger and the wolf in Qin State, and from the perspective of safeguarding the independence of Chu State and the interests of the people of the six countries in Kanto, urged the king of Chu to persist in uniting with Qin State. Zhang Yi's plot was frustrated and she turned to collude with Jinan, the pet of the king of Chu. Zheng Xiu is a vicious and selfish woman. The eldest son of the King of Chu was taken hostage in the State of Qin. After going south, in order to solidify her favor, she accepted Zhang Yi's trickery, so as to alienate the relationship between the king of Chu and Qu Yuan and destroy the alliance between Chu and Qi, in exchange for the support of Qin's son as the heir to the throne, and they set up a conspiracy to "trap" the court together. Empress Nan tricked Qu Yuan into the palace in the name of helping to guide the Nine Songs, boasting in person: "Good writing, high morality, only morality." When he saw the king of Chu returning to the palace, he tricked him into his arms and accused Qu Yuan of molesting her. The fatuous and violent king of Chu, who didn't know the truth, was accused of "fornication in the imperial court" and expelled Qu Yuan from the imperial court as a leftist, announcing that he had broken up with Qi and made up with Qin. Qu Yuan was filled with grief and indignation, and warned the King of Chu: "Think more of Chu people and more of China people.". Scold Nanhou bitterly: "It's not me you framed, it's our whole state of Chu!" "It's our whole Chixian Shenzhou!" Qu Yuan was demoted and rumors spread everywhere. Song Yu, a shameless scholar, defected to Qu Yuan and took refuge in the aristocratic group. Qu Yuan ran away angrily, and the kings of Chu, Lu Yu, Nanhou and Zhang Yi, were furious, denouncing Zhang Yi and blaming Nanhou. The king of Chu was furious and ordered Qu Yuan to be put into the Taiyi Hall of the East Emperor. Maid Shan Juan firmly believed that Qu Yuan was pure and just, and was not moved by the threat of the south and the inducement of Song Yu and Zi Lan, and was also imprisoned. Qu Yuan was in prison. When he saw his native Lu Chen, he was filled with grief and indignation. He called for lightning, electricity and wind. "Let this dark universe, the gloomy universe, explode!" He longed for lightning to turn into a sword in his chest "to split this darkness stronger than iron!" " Split! Split! The magnificent Ode to Thunder and Electricity sublimated Qu Yuan's brilliant character to the highest peak. At this time, the temple wished Zheng Taibu arrived with Qu Yuan, Shan Juan and the guards who saved her with poisoned wine. Shan Juan died by mistake for Qu Yuan. Guards assassinated Zheng Taibu and burned the temple. In the raging fire, Qu Yuan exhibited and read Ode to Orange in memory of Chan Juan, and went to Hanbei with the guards to continue the struggle with the people. [6]
