A sentence from Qu Yuan's Li Sao.

I have read this poem, and I can still recite it. The most famous sentence should be: "The road is long, and Xiu Yuan is awkward. I will go up and down."

The road ahead is long, and I want to look for (the sun in my heart) everywhere. It embodies the exploration spirit of Qu Yuan, a romantic poet in Qing Dynasty.

Lisao is a poem written by Qu Yuan, a poet in the Warring States Period, and it is the longest lyric poem in ancient times.

This poem centers on the poet's life experience, experience and mental journey. The first half repeatedly confided the poet's concern about the fate of Chu and people's life, expressing his desire for innovation and his will to persist in his ideals and never compromise with evil forces even in times of disaster; The second half reflects the poet's thoughts and feelings of patriotism and love for the people through the statement of dreaming, pursuing ideals and dying after failure.

The whole poem uses the metaphor of beauty and vanilla, a lot of myths and legends and rich imagination, forming a gorgeous literary talent and magnificent structure, showing a positive romantic spirit, and creating a "Sao style" poetry form in the history of China literature, which has a far-reaching impact on later generations.

Scholars of later generations appreciate this long poem. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once declared: "Qu Ping's ci and fu hang the sun and the moon, the king of Chu stands on the platform, and the hills are empty." When Lu Xun published Wandering on 1926, he quoted the poem Li Sao as an inscription before the book, which shows that Qu Yuan's tireless pursuit of truth embodied in Li Sao had a great influence on Lu Xun. Li Sao has become synonymous with Chu Ci, and "Sao Ren" has also become synonymous with poets.

Appreciation of famous sentences

Take a long breath to hide your tears and mourn the hardships of people's lives. I sighed, tears stream down. I am lamenting how hard people's lives are! Obviously, from this, we can find that although Qu Yuan was a noble in Chu and a scholar-bureaucrat, his in-depth contact with the working people during his exile made him deeply feel the sufferings of the people, so there were often poems in his poems that worried about the country and the people.

For the ideal cherished in my heart, I will not regret it a thousand times. As long as it conforms to my beautiful ideal, I won't regret it even if I die nine times. These two sentences show the poet's persistent pursuit of beautiful ideals. His ideal is to resist Qiang Qin's aggression, safeguard Chu's independence, and implement Qingming politics.
