Step 2 introduce
Ode to Nine Chapters of Orange Island is the work of Qu Yuan, a great poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period. This is a poem about objects. On the surface, it is a praise of dried tangerine peel, but in fact it is a poet's confession of his ideal and personality. The whole poem can be divided into two parts. The first sentence 16 is the first part, which focuses on describing the elegant and moving external beauty of dried tangerine peel, with description as the main part. In the second half, things are lyrical, eulogizing the inner spiritual passion of Chenpi, which is mainly lyrical. The two parts have their own emphasis, but they are interrelated and integrated. In the form of four words, the poet created a beautiful image of dried tangerine peel by personification, and described and praised dried tangerine peel from all sides to express his firm will to pursue good quality and ideals.
3. Creative background
Ode to Nine Chapters of Orange should be regarded as Qu Yuan's early works. South China is rich in citrus, and Chu is called the hometown of citrus. Han Shu called it "Jiangling Thousand Trees Orange", so it can be seen that Jiangling of Chu was famous for producing oranges as early as the Han Dynasty. However, citrus has a strange habit: only when it grows in the south can it produce sweet fruit, and if it moves to the north, it can only get bitter and astringent oranges. Yanzi Chunqiu records that "those born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges", which is the case. This can be said to be a great pity, but in the view of Qu Yuan, who loves his homeland deeply, this nature of "being born in the south" can be linked with his unswerving patriotic feelings. Therefore, during his exile in Du Ying, he took oranges in southern China as an example to fight for festivals and wrote this famous poem praising oranges with deep affection.
