Qu Yuan was a leftist doctor in Chu at the end of the Warring States Period. That is, officials who are in charge of state affairs, receive foreign guests and preside over ancestral temple sacrifices. From the official position, it is not small, but because of its honest and frank character, it has been countered and framed by villains many times and finally ended in exile. General Qin took a stone and sank into the Miluo River.
Maybe people will want to say, what do you want to say? Now I can answer, I don't think Qu Yuan has any particularly great spirit that deserves us to hold a special festival for him in China. But Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China. I don't object to this, especially if Koreans want to apply for our traditional festivals. I hate it, too But if it is sublimated to commemorate him, it will make me feel very confused.
Yes, he is indeed a talented person, a romantic poet, the first recorded poet in China (not counting the unknown poet in The Book of Songs), so should he be a romantic poet? So is Li Bai. His ending is similar to Qu Yuan's. He was also fed fish, so he didn't deserve it? Of course, you can also say that Qu Yuan's ambition is death, and death is the soul of Chu. Then I ask: How many people have died for their country in the history of China? Qu Yuan is only for his own small court, and there are many national heroes in modern history. They might as well die for their country as Qu Yuan. Don't talk about them. Shi Kefa fought against the Qing army alone, and finally died heroically. At least General Shi died in battle, in battle. Yes, so is he, just wrapping his stomach for fish, which is considered as a contribution to aquaculture. Did his death boost national morale? No, have you enhanced your sense of national responsibility? No, is the restoration of Chu State? No, either. Then his death is meaningless, that is to say, he didn't die for his country, he died because he didn't want to see Chu occupied by Qin. A very simple psychological death, just like Uncle Boyi couldn't eat Zhou Su, can only be used as a model to stick to his ambition.
Some people will say that his moral integrity is respectable. Did people at that time like to be treated as pigs? Qu Yuan left a sentence, "The world is drunk and I wake up alone, and the world is turbid and I wake up alone". The translation is: People in this era are all muddy people and don't understand anything. I am the only one who is most awake, and I am still a human being. Others are bastards, idiots, idiots. It turns out that people also like to be regarded as a springboard for noble morality, blindly worshipping and respecting themselves. We can't blame everyone for the negativity of an era, otherwise we are arrogant and conceited. It's just that the era of his death was an era of talented people and a hundred schools of thought contending. Why does he say these words, and other people can only bow before him? He blamed Chu Huaiwang for not giving him a platform to play. He blamed the society for being too dark. It's that he is too incompetent to be a man. Keeping a low profile is not kowtowing. Tong Yuan is a philosophy of life. Just like Yue Fei, loyal to the country and returning to China, it is completely possible, but the method is wrong. You can't offend many people in order to achieve a goal. Not only will things fail, but you will also be beheaded. The same is true of Qu Yuan. Isn't it his ideal to revitalize Chu and unify China? Why else would he revitalize Chu? He only wants to rule China like Qin. I won't say these words. His method alone is wrong, too lofty and upright, which leads to the ministers in the DPRK and even the imperial concubine in the palace being slandered, which is equivalent to committing suicide in the court. Some people may say that the internal affairs of Chu may be dark, but not necessarily. Although the national strength of Chu has declined compared with its heyday, it is still the third largest country in the Warring States period and the country with the largest territory. According to the laws of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if there is civil strife or darkness in any country, other countries will attack basically within one month, and there will be no temporary peace between Qin and Zhang Yi, which is also an affirmation of Chu's national strength.
Next, it's time to say suicide Many people think that Qu Yuan's death is a dignified death, a death that does not go with the flow, and a manifestation of noble sentiments. There are two ways to kill yourself: the first is forced to kill, and the second is free to kill. Forced homicide refers to suicide when others really have no choice, while free homicide refers to solving it yourself when you feel that your life is really meaningless. It is impossible to be forced to be killed. Qu Yuan is just an exiled civilian, and no one will kill him, especially during the Warring States Period. No one will kill a man who does not harm his own interests and has no hands to tie a chicken. The warring States period was better than the feudal dynasty. Although the Warring States period was full of unjust wars, it rarely killed one person. Except for a few extremely cruel monarchs who have nothing to cook, the average person is still very friendly. At that time, Chu was destroyed, and Qu Yuan was useless, so it is obvious that Qu Yuan was not forced to kill, but killed freely. Then someone will ask: "Can't killing people at will show his noble personality?" My answer is yes. In this world, what I dislike most are those who are killed freely. That's an insult to people, an insult to people's name. I despise these people most. In ancient times, it was widely rumored that parents with physical problems could even be described as disloyal and unfilial when having a haircut, not to mention that their mother was pregnant in October and painstakingly educated. This is what I find most disgusting and what I despise most. Not revenge for Chu, loyalty to the royal family, but infidelity; It is unfilial to abandon human relations and kill yourself in vain; It is inhuman not to save the people from fire and water and abandon them; Do not do what you say, do not do what you say. It's because of injustice (the road is long and Xiu Yuan is Xi, and Xiu Yuan is Xi, so I will practise fraud for it). This disloyal, unfilial, heartless and unjust generation, just because what he said is not in cahoots, what else is worth worshipping? So where is the pollution? During the Warring States period, there was no real right or wrong. Everyone grew up in this environment, and they all advocated enriching Qiang Bing. They are all of the same kind. Why do you want to say that you are clear and others are turbid? What noble sentiments does such a person have? Why didn't he learn the sentence "Chu is three families, but Chu is the one who destroyed Qin"? What should the launch be? At least I'll admire you a little. You're such a coward. Can you afford to support your emperor Cowboyong? Are you worthy of the poor people who trust you? Are you worthy of the soil and water that gave birth to you and raised you?
I have nothing to say to Qu Yuan. Although I said a lot, I remained speechless to him. As for the popularity of this person, I think it may be the same as what Mr. Lu Xun said. "In fact, there is no road on the ground. If there are more people walking, it will become a road." "In fact, people didn't worship Qu Yuan originally, just because people were gradually influenced by people who sacrificed around them and regarded it as a festival, so it evolved into today's Dragon Boat Festival to pay homage to Qu Yuan!" The view of modern people is like this. Modern people, no matter how good they are, will never be used as sacrifices. They will only be given to ancient people who don't even know what they have done, such as Qu Yuan and other similar people. Also, nowadays costume dramas are sometimes really ... I don't know, but they also have the advantage of making people interested in history. Let's just say nothing, it's really full of loopholes. As long as it is hearsay, unofficial history's romances are all used to talk about things, and it is easy to myth people or demonize them. This is all disrespect for historical figures. We should look at history objectively and analyze it, and we can't say who is right or wrong, which is different. This is just my family's opinion, and I only represent my own.
