I remember one day five years ago, I went to Wuhan to attend a classmate's wedding. After the incident, I briefly visited Wuhan with several classmates. In a park near East Lake, I saw Qu Zi's ancestral temple, so I worshipped him. At that time, I thought, "Only Chu Youcai can flourish here.".
A classmate asked, "Why do you think Qu Yuan is so famous? People think so highly of him! He didn't make any great contribution. "
I remember saying, "Qu Yuan wrote Li Sao, which contains many myths and legends and ancient cultures. If it weren't for Qu Yuan, many traditional cultures would have disappeared. As a writer, Qu Yuan is great.
Now think about it, the evaluation of Qu Yuan at that time was too simple.
Yes, just as a writer, Qu Yuan can be immortalized.
Lu Xun evaluated Sima Qian's Historical Records as "Li Sao without rhyme", which means that Historical Records is just like Li Sao without rhyme. It can be seen that in Lu Xun's mind, Li Sao is higher than Historical Records. In my mind, Historical Records is the book I have read and I have the highest evaluation.
The Songs of the South and the Book of Songs North are the greatest poems of China. Chuci is a genre written by many people, and Qu Zi is recognized as the originator of Chuci.
The Songs of the South and The Book of Songs have a great influence on Chinese people. They are cultural symbols.
Now, if you want to appear very cultured, you can refer to these two books when naming your children, The Songs of the South for men and The Book of Songs for women. Many cultural celebrities in China have their names from these two books. For example, there are Jiang Zhongzheng, Zhu Ziqing, Zhou Xinfang, Dai Wangshu and so on from The Songs of the South, and so on ...
I remember that I had to recite this in high school, and I felt that Qu Yuan had made me miserable! Maybe it's because the distance is too far away. At that time, I thought Li Sao was good, but I couldn't read it. I couldn't read it. How could I recite it?
At this time, I think of a college classmate, and I remember that he can still recite Li Sao very skillfully many years after graduation, which is really enviable.
Tai Shigong said:
"His words are small, his ambition is clean, and his actions are cheap. It is said that the text is small and its meaning is great, and it is far-reaching by analogy. Its ambition is clean, so it is called object fragrance; It is cheap, so it is not allowed to die. "
it's a good idea to push this ambition, although it's a glory for the sun and the moon.
It is supposed that Qu Yuan's upright character can win glory with the sun and the moon!
watching the TV series "The Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty", Zhang Yi sent an envoy to Chu on behalf of Qin State. He deceived Chu Huaiwang, saying that as long as Qi and Chu did not form an alliance, Qin State was willing to return the 6-mile land of Shang Dynasty (wū). After the State of Chu did so, he went to Zhang Yi, who called him sick. Chu Huaiwang thought that Qin didn't believe in his sincerity and sent messengers to insult the King of Qi. Zhang Yi got well and asked him for 6 Li. Zhang Yi said that she had said 6 Li, not 6 Li. This incident is known as Zhang Yi's bullying Chu.
However, some scholars think this is a fabricated story.
If that's the case, then Zhang Yi will look shameless.
In fact, personally, I think that most of the disciples in Guigu are scheming and scheming, and their character is not good. For example, Su Qin's Zhang Yi is a mean person. They have bad conduct, and they all end up dying well.
Qu Zi in the play is impassioned, upright, unkind, full of talent and pride, which is really cute. I just met a bad king.
Chu Huaiwang was confused by Zheng Xiu at home and deceived by Zhang Yi outside because he didn't understand the position of loyal minister. He alienated Qu Yuan and trusted Doctor Shangguan and Ling Zilan. His army was defeated, his land was cut, and he lost six counties. He was also detained and died in the State of Qin, which was laughed at by the whole world.
after Chu Huaiwang's death, his eldest son, Qing Xiang, succeeded to the throne. Yin Zilan, the younger brother of King Xiang of Qing Dynasty, was very angry when he learned that Qu Yuan hated him, and finally let Doctor Shangguan speak ill of Qu Yuan in front of King Xiang of Qing Dynasty. When King Xiang became angry, he exiled Qu Yuan.
In 299 BC, the State of Qin captured eight cities of Chu, and King Qin Zhao made an appointment with King Huai to meet him in Wuguan. King Huai did not listen to Zhao Sui and Qu Yuan's advice and decided to go to Wuguan. As a result, he was detained by the State of Qin, who threatened King Huai to cede land, but King Huai refused. During the detention of King Huai, the Chu people made the prince king in order to help the king.
In 297 BC, when Chu Huaiwang fled, the Qin people blocked the road leading to Chu, and Huai Wang fled to Zhao, but Zhao did not dare to take him in. Huai Wang tried to flee to Wei, but was captured by Qin. In 296 BC, King Huai died of illness in the State of Qin, and the State of Qin returned his body to the State of Chu. "All Chu people pity him, like their relatives.".
in 278 BC, the general of the state of Qin led his troops south, attacking Chu Ying, the capital of Chu, and Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River on May 5th of the same year, which is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.
On that day, when Qu Yuan arrived at the riverside, he let loose his hair and walked by the water, chanting and looking haggard. A fisherman saw him and asked, "Aren't you Dr. San Lv? Why did you come here? "
Qu Yuan said, "The whole world is turbid and I am alone, and the whole world is drunk and I wake up alone. So he was exiled. "
The fisherman said, "People who are smart in Tessa are not bound by external things, but can change with the world. The world is muddy, why not follow the crowd and add fuel to the flames? The whole world is drunk, why not drink some thin wine, too Why do you want to embrace the quality of beautiful jade, but you are exiled? "
Qu Yuan said, "I heard that those who have just washed their heads must shake off the dust on their hats, and those who have just bathed must shake off the dust on their clothes. Who can let his innocent body be polluted by foreign objects? I'd rather throw myself into the river and die in the belly of a fish than suffer from worldly dirt for my noble quality! "
The fisherman couldn't convince him, so he sang the song, "The water in the surging waves is clear, so I can hold my tassel; The water in the surging waves is muddy, so you can Zhuo my feet. "When you leave, don't pay attention to him anymore.
Qu Yuan wrote the poem Huai Sha, then threw himself into the Miluo River and died.
alas!
Tai Shigong said: I read Li Sao, Tian Wen, Evocation and Mourning, and I am sad that his ambition cannot be realized. To Changsha, after Qu Yuan's self-sinking, I shed tears and missed him. When I saw Jia Yi's article, I blamed Qu Yuan for lobbying the vassals with his talents, which country would not accommodate it, but chose such a path! After reading Fu on the Owl, I regarded life and death as the same, and thought it was unimportant to be demoted and appointed, which made me feel lost again.
It's another year of Dragon Boat Festival. When we have a holiday, we can't forget the great Qu Gong. I have always felt that Qu Yuan is a cultural soul of China. As long as China's culture does not die, China will never die. Even if they are invaded for a while, the invaders will be attacked by China culture. The Manchu dynasty in the previous dynasty was an example.
Suddenly I really want to go to Chu State, see Yingdu and Miluo River ...
