Qu Yuan, Ping Ming, "original" his words. Born into a noble family in Chu, he received a good education and had a high literary and political talent. When he was young, he gained the trust of Chu Huaiwang. He was a doctor and a disciple of San Lv. He often consulted with King Huai on state affairs and participated in the formulation of laws. While presiding over foreign affairs. He advocated that Chu should unite with Qi and * * * should contend with Qin. With the efforts of Qu Yuan, the national strength of Chu State has been enhanced. However, due to the pride of honest and frank self-personality and the slander and rejection of others, Qu Yuan was gradually alienated by Chu Huaiwang and later exiled. Although he was later recalled, he was soon exiled until he died in the Miluo River on May 5, 278 BC. 1953 is the 2230th anniversary of Qu Yuan's death. The World Peace Council passed a resolution that Qu Yuan was one of the four cultural celebrities in the world that year.
Qu Yuan's works include Li Sao, Nine Chapters, Tian Wen and Nine Songs.
Li Sao is Qu Yuan's main work and China's earliest and longest lyric poem. * * * three hundred and seventy-three sentences, two thousand four hundred and ninety words. Li Sao's name was interpreted by Sima Qian in Biography of Qu Yuan in Historical Records as "Li Sao is still worried", which means sadness. The poem describes the poet's "troubles" and repeatedly expresses deep concern. This poem can almost be regarded as the poet's "autobiography", which twists and turns to write the poet's thoughts and actions for most of his life. Li Sao shows the poet's yearning for the motherland and his love for the people. Qu Yuan is a great patriotic poet, and he has great ambitions to save Chu from danger, all of which are shown in his poems.
The nine chapters include nine poems: Ode to Shejiang, Mourning for the Dead, Portrait Poem, History, Past, Ode to Orange, and Return from Sorrow. It's not a temporary work, but it was pieced together in the Western Han Dynasty, with the name of nine chapters. Most of these poems were written by alienated or exiled poets, and most of them showed their nostalgia for their hometown. The poems in Nine Chapters, except Ode to an Orange, are mostly the same in theme and thought as Lisao, but their expressions are quite different, which highlights the diversity of artistic styles of Qu Yuan's works.
There are eleven * * * songs in Nine Songs, and "Nine" refers to nothing more than the number of articles. These poems are related to shrines. Jiuge is the name of divine joy in ancient legends, and the article only inherits this name, which has no practical significance. Wang Yi and other ancient people thought that this was Qu Yuan's exile. Seeing the music and dance of the local folk temple fair, they wrote nine songs. The gods in Jiuge Shrine are Sun God (Dong Jun), Life Death (Priestess of Death), Life Death (Shao Siming), Yellow River God (Hebo), Xiang Water God (Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang), Mountain God (Mountain God) and Eastern Taidi. But in the Song Dynasty, Zhu proposed that it originated from folk songs and Qu Yuan adapted it. However, according to recent research, it originated in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is strong evidence that the sacrifice of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi God originated from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Tian Wen is a very strange poem. Most of them are four sentences, two sentences or a group of four sentences. The poet raised more than 100 questions in one breath, and raised many questions about natural phenomena, myths and legends, historical stories and so on. It shows Qu Yuan's rich imagination.
