Qu Yuan is a typical patriotic poet. When he was in his twenties, he was appointed by Chu Huaiwang and often accompanied him and made suggestions.
Unfortunately, excellent people often make people jealous after all. Le Shang once went to see the manuscript written by Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan drove it away because it was a confidential document. Unexpectedly, Le Shang turned to complain to Chu Huaiwang that Qu Yuan was arrogant and in power. Unexpectedly, Chu Huaiwang listened to rumors and demoted Qu Yuan to other places as an official.
After Qu Yuan was demoted, he was worried about the safety of the country and the monarch, and the monarch did encounter a crisis because of the evil of the villain.
Qi and Chu originally formed an alliance, and their strength was equal to that of Qin. However, Le Shan and others made suggestions and demanded to sever relations with Qi and switch to Qin. Unfortunately, the State of Qin finally abandoned the State of Chu and joined forces with other countries to fight against the State of Chu, which eventually led to its demise.
Qu Yuan was very sad and angry when he learned the news, so he came to the river and jumped in a short time.
After hearing the news, the surrounding residents went fishing in the sea one after another, but after all, Qu Yuan's body was not found. Residents are afraid that Qu Yuan's body will be eaten by fish and other animals, so they throw food into the river. This custom has been passed down to this day. In memory of Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival came into being. The zongzi we ate was related to the food left over from that year.
He has been concerned about the country and the people all his life, but he can't bear the heavy responsibility. Such talents can't help but make people feel sorry, but Qu Yuan's psychology has no resentment at all. After the monarch stopped, he finally chose to jump into the river to end his life.
There have always been many monarchs in history who appointed villains and turned a blind eye to those who were truly talented and worried about their country and people. This is really sad and regrettable.
