Qu Yuan's life can be said to be a colorful legend in the history of China literature, but Qu Yuan himself was not very famous at that time. What really made him famous in the world was Sima Qian's Biography of Qu Yuan. Tai Shigong, like writing poems and fu, added countless words of praise to Qu Yuan, and also praised Qu Yuan's Li Sao. What is revealed between the lines is admiration and sympathy for this great patriot. ?
Li Sao is a political lyric poem, which is second to none in later generations. Qu Yuan devoted a lot of effort to this work, telling his life: The first part tells his family background, how he learned from sages, constantly honed himself and improved his self-cultivation. It shows that he has always had a lofty dream, that is, to make Chu rich and strong, to make the country prosperous and to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. In the second half, the tone took a sharp turn. He admitted that he was so obsessed with his dreams that his dreams were dashed and he had to leave the country. But even after he left the country, he still saw his hometown in his dream, and the people of Chu in his dream lived in dire straits, which made him very sad. After waking up, he decided to give up leaving and stick to his dependence on his hometown.
Qu Yuan began by telling his own life story, and ended the whole article with painstaking persuasion, with sincere meaning beyond words. He satirized the ugly faces of the dignitaries at that time, and he repeatedly showed the king of Chu his determination to live and die with the country. Throughout Li Sao, he became two words, that is? Backbone!
Later, Qu Yuan really kept his promise. He plunged into the Miluo River and stayed in the place he loved forever. This is also the reason why Li Sao has been passed down from generation to generation. Practicing patriotic beliefs is the most touching.
