After Qu Yuan was exiled, he walked between rivers and lakes, sighing at the water's edge, looking haggard and emaciated, with a morbid and sad face. The fisherman saw it and asked him, "Aren't you Dr. San Lv? Why did you come to this place? Qu Yuan replied: "All people in the world are dirty, only I am innocent, all people are drunk, and only I am sober.". So he was exiled. The fisherman said: "A person with both ability and political integrity will not stick to external things, but can adapt to changing situations. The whole world is dirty, why not go with the flow? Everyone is drunk, why don't they drink and have fun? Why do you want to be so far-reaching and so noble that you are exiled? Qu Yuan replied: "I heard that people who have just washed their hair must pat their hats clean before putting them on;" "People who have just taken a shower must shake before getting dressed. How can you bear the filth with a clean body? I would rather throw myself into the running water of Xiangjiang River and bury myself in the fish belly of the river. How can you stand the dust of the world as an innocent person? The fisherman knocked on the boat board with a smile and left, singing and saying, "If the water in the rough waves is clear, it can be used to wash my hat band;" If the water in the rough waves is dirty, it can be used to wash feet! " After that, he left and stopped talking to Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan is a strong man in life who unswervingly adheres to his ideals and sacrifices his life for righteousness. He is a unique and unique image that does not go with the flow, does not admit defeat, does not compromise. To die rather than surrender shows Qu Yuan's great personality.
The fisherman is a hermit and a believer in Taoist thought. It has a wise, happy with the times, knowing the destiny and changing with the times. The author also describes his detached attitude of neither being angry nor demanding calm. The author's portrayal of this image has played a role in setting off and setting off Qu Yuan's creation.
The fisherman's thought of sharing weal and woe and conquering the enemy without fighting contains wisdom and detachment. No worldly troubles, keep a leisurely mood. Compared with Qu Yuan's hard work and haggard, the fisherman's image is relaxed and free, which is more in line with the literati's appetite.
Therefore, the image of "fisherman" has become one of the literary "prototypes" that arouse the feelings of literati-
First of all, the fisherman represents a noble and reclusive personality ideal. Wang Yi's "Chu Zhang Ci Sentence" says: "Fishermen live in seclusion, fishing by the river and enjoying themselves." Fishermen in Chu Ci are hermits who live in anonymity, not fishermen who make a living by fishing. Fisherman is a symbol of hermit. On the one hand, he maintained noble character and sentiment and was tired of worldly troubles, but he did not blindly fall into contradictions and pains (just like Qu Yuan). On the other hand, the pursuit of unrestrained and free life realm combines the two. On the one hand, I have a noble personality and life realm, on the other hand, I want to be free and get rid of some social shackles or other shackles. The image of fisherman has always been regarded as a cultural symbol. This symbol is synonymous with a life that advocates integrity and pursues freedom.
Secondly, the fisherman's image contains several elements. The first is "fishing", which includes the wind of fishing. Followed by "father." "Father" is also written as "Fu" and is called the old man. The old man has experienced vicissitudes, gains and losses are clear, and his heart has no distractions. Naturally, non-teenagers are determined to forge ahead.
The third is "water". Taoism believes that water is the foundation of all things, and it is humble, impartial and selfless. Laozi said, "If water is good, it is the good of all things, and it is the evil of all people, so it is a few words." Suggest the ideal pursuit of Taoism.
The fourth is the "ship". Where there is a fisherman, there is a boat, and there is a boat. Su Shi's "Red Cliff Fu" said, "Driving a flat boat with a leaf, lifting a [páo] bottle for each other", and the boat is like a leaf, with little affection. Only a boat with a leaf can reach the state of "being like a reed, at a loss".
Fifthly, the image of fisherman pinned the yearning of China literati for this transcendental life. Fishermen are real hermits. They left the world with an elegant back, and they left gently without taking away a cloud. They float on the water in a small boat, which is natural, comfortable and unrestrained. Being an official to help the world when he is proud and retiring when he is frustrated is the unchangeable life track of China literati. After the ups and downs of his career, there is nothing like sending a boat away and an old man fishing in the cold river-snowing. They regard landscapes and pastoral areas as spiritual habitats, where the wounds of the soul are healed and the soul is saved and sublimated.
