Qu Yuan's ideal of "beautiful politics" reflects his sharp opposition to the decadent aristocratic groups in Chu and their forces, and expresses his demand for progress in getting rid of bad politics, with the ultimate goal of saving the motherland from peril and making Chu a prosperous and powerful country.
Related to this, Qu Yuan's works also profoundly exposed the darkness of Chu politics, the decay of Chu aristocratic groups, the fatuity of Chu kings and the treason of ministers, showing his fighting spirit of adhering to the ideal of "American politics", insisting on moral integrity and "not regretting his death"; At the same time, it also shows his determination to care about the country and the people, love the country and the people, and devote himself to the motherland. ?
Qu Yuan's life is a tragedy, a tragedy of patriots, a tragedy of reformers, and a tragedy in which justice is destroyed by evil. As a politician and reformer, he failed all his life. His ideals and career will always be regretted by future generations. But as a great thinker and writer, he succeeded.
Extended data:
The consciousness of life embodied in Qu Yuan's works is mainly manifested in the fleeting time, the sense of urgency in the disappearance of beauty and the cold consciousness of death. Facing the changes of the four seasons in nature, it can arouse people's sense of time and life, and the ancient China literati's expression of the sense of disappearance of beauty is endless from generation to generation. But no one has felt a sense of urgency or even fear in the face of fleeting time like Qu Yuan.
For the works of Chu Ci, there are not only some ready-made five-character or seven-character poems, but also a large number of three-character poems besides the two-character poems. The appearance of three-character rhythmic poems is an opportunity for four-character poems to be transformed into five-character or seven-character poems. Therefore, it can be said that "Songs of the South" is the earliest poetic work that broke the four-sentence pattern. In its various uneven sentence patterns, it contains the embryonic form of five-character and seven-character poems, which gives endless inspiration to future generations.
In addition, The Songs of the South created a new poetic style. This form of poetry is more free and changeable in sentence structure and structure than the Book of Songs, so it can more effectively shape artistic images and express complex and intense feelings.
