Extended information
Introduced by Qu Yuan, the author of "Ode to Orange"—— About 340 BC - 278 BC, he was a poet and politician of the Chu State during the Warring States Period in China. Born in Zigui, Danyang, Chu State (now Yichang, Hubei Province). Mi's surname is Qu's, her given name is Ping, and her courtesy name is Yuan.
In the sixth year of King Nan of Zhou (309 BC) and the second year of King Wu of Qin, King Xuan of Qi wanted to be the leader, but hated Chu for joining forces with Qin, so he sent an envoy to leave a letter from King Chu, but King Huai hesitated. Zhao Sui remonstrated hard, so he did not unite with Qin but united with Qi to benefit South Korea. Qu Yuan could not participate in the government affairs, and it was most likely that he would join forces with King Dunhuai through Zhao Sui and other ministers.
In the eleventh year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty (304 BC), Qu Yuan wandered north (above the Han River, today's Xixia and Xichuan areas of Nanyang, Henan). The reunification of Qin and Chu was contrary to Qu Yuan's plan, and the traitor would definitely have slanderous words to harm him. He should have had no choice but to avoid the northern part of Han Dynasty, so "Nine Chapters·Taosi" means that he cannot return if he wants to.
