A brief discussion of "Li Sao" without rhyme. Mr. Lu Xun pointed out in "Outline of the History of Chinese Literature": "Writing books with anger, self-motivation, hating being a jester, expressing one's heart and thoughts, and feeling one's life experience The killing and humiliation has been passed down to the people for thousands of years. Although it adheres to the meaning of "Spring and Autumn", it can still be regarded as the splendid song of historians. It is a rhymeless "Li Sao", but it is not limited to historical laws, not limited to words, and is inspired by emotion and heart. For the text..." It can be seen that Mr. Lu Xun used the phrase "Li Sao without rhyme" to highlight the literary value of "Historical Records" that is not limited to historical methods. First of all, the literary achievements of "Historical Records" and "Li Sao" are equivalent. "Historical Records" is another masterpiece created by an individual with a grand and complex institutional structure after "Li Sao". It once again pushed literary creation to the peak. Like "Li Sao", it surpassed its predecessors and showed great creativity. Secondly, the creative motivation and mood of "Historical Records" and "Li Sao" are the same. Both Sima Qian and Qu Yuan had suffered great hardships, and they were both grumbling and angry people. Qu Yuan wrote "Li Sao" to express his anger, while Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records" to express his worries, so "Historical Records" is "Li Sao". What he said "hating to be a jester" means that Sima Qian was deeply dissatisfied with his position of being "teased by his superiors, encouraged by superior animals, and despised by popular customs" ("Report to Ren Shaoqing"), "feeling the slaughter of his life experience" "humiliation" means that Sima Qian was saddened by the shame and humiliation of being castrated. These became the motivations for Sima Qian to write vigorously and complete "Historical Records". And Qu Yuan was "a disciple of the left in the service of the king", and he also fell into the category of "fool"; after being slandered and exiled, he wrote "Li Sao" in order to express his anger and complaints. Sima Qian had a deep understanding of Qu Yuan. Thirdly, "Historical Records" and "Li Sao" both have strong lyricism. Mr. Lu Xun once called "Historical Records" "the Li Sao without rhyme". One of the most important reasons is that "Historical Records" has a strong lyricism. Qu Yuan's noble personality and the power of his "Li Sao" to satirize the contemporary world, his aesthetic sense of love and rich lyricism were also inherited and carried forward by him and integrated into the creation of "Historical Records". Therefore, his character descriptions and comments are all Jumping with the passion of Tai Shigong's poet. The "without rhyme" in "Li Sao" emphasizes the difference between the two. I think the "blank" that Mr. Lu Xun refers to here should not only include the difference in style between the two, but also include the difference in expression techniques between the two. We know that although "Li Sao" has the characteristics of an autobiography, it is a lyric poem in a stylistic sense, using poetic language to express emotions. The lyrical technique is more flexible, while "Historical Records" It is a historical work first, and then a literary work, so it is limited by historical figures and events, and must express its own emotions on the basis of actual records or narratives. (For reference only) "The swan song of historians, the blank "Li Sao"" can represent Lu Xun's overall evaluation of "Historical Records", and it can also be regarded as a pertinent definition of "Li Sao". Please read it. This can help you decide your own progress or retreat. This is also my reflection and experience after reading "Historical Records".
