3. Qu Yuan's ideological character
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. His character of caring for the country and the people, being honest and clean was praised as a model by later generations. His magnificent works and gorgeous words are masterpieces of the world literature hall. The style of "Chu Ci" created by him is unique in the history of China literature, and it is also called "coquettish" with the Book of Songs, which has a positive impact on later poetry creation. Modern scholar Liang Qichao first recommended Qu Yuan as "the ancestor of China writers". Guo Moruo commented that Qu Yuan was a "great patriotic poet", a shining star in the era of bright stars, and "especially a colorful first-class star". Wen Yiduo commented that Qu Yuan was "the only person with sufficient conditions to be called a people's poet in the history of China". The History of China Literature rated Qu Yuan as "the first great patriotic poet in the history of China". The Encyclopedia of China Literature rated Qu Yuan as "the founder of romantic literature in China".
Qu Yuan's works record his persistence in the ideal of "beautiful politics" and his struggle against the decadent aristocratic groups in Chu. His ideal of "beautiful politics" is reflected in his works, that is, "cultivating talents and empowering them, but doing things without being equal" (Li Sao). The so-called "promoting talents and empowering" is to select truly talented people to govern the country, oppose the secular world, and limit the monopoly of the old aristocracy on power. He also took the historical stories of Fu Shuo, the slave, Lv Wang, the butcher and Ning Qi, the vendor, as examples to illustrate the rationality of selecting talents regardless of their status. The so-called "following the rope without being rude" means practicing the law, that is, the law is not expensive and limiting the privileges of the old nobles.
