A poem that warms people's hearts

(Sima Qian) hates playing tricks on ministers, puts his heart in ink, feels the humiliation of his life experience, and spreads the grotesque to future generations. Although he recited the meaning of Spring and Autumn Annals, it is a masterpiece of historians, and the rhyme of Li Sao is gone. Sima Xiangru and Sima Qian (Outline of the History of Chinese Literature) said that "hate is a jester", which means that Sima Qian was deeply dissatisfied with his position of "being teased by the Lord, advocating superior animals and ignoring customs" ("reporting for appointment") and "feeling humiliated by his life experience", which means that Sima Qian was saddened by the great shame of his imprisonment. All these have become the driving force for Sima Qian to write a book and complete Historical Records. The life experiences of Qu Yuan and Sima Qian are very similar: "Being a disciple of Wang Huai" is also a kind of "jester"; Being exiled to the river stone is similar to Sima Qian's great suffering. Qu Yuan wrote Li Sao to express his grievances. The so-called "Li Sao" means complaining and worrying. Sima Qian had a profound understanding of Qu Yuan. In the Biography of Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng, he wrote: "If you believe and see doubt, if you are loyal and slander, how can you have no complaints?" Qu Ping's work Li Sao is self-reproach. "Sima Qian knew that the work of Li Sao originated from resentment, and he did the same himself. The hearts of Sima Qian and Qu Yuan are interlinked. It is precisely because of their similar life experiences and the same state of mind that both of them "take care of each other" and become heroes. Sima Qian can be described as Qu Yuan in Han Dynasty, and the historical records are Li Sao in Han Dynasty. Therefore, Lu Xun said that Historical Records can be regarded as "Li Sao without rhyme". As a matter of fact, Lu Xun himself is also a man full of complaints and grievances, and he is United with each other. He knew the feelings of Qu Yuan and Sima Qian two thousand years ago-grumbling, resentment and melancholy. It is precisely because of this that he can profoundly interpret Historical Records as "Li Sao has no rhyme".
