Note 1:

The research results on "The Story of Qu Yuan's Hometown in Han Dynasty" were recently handed over to the Qu Yuan Society in Hanshou County, Hunan Province for identification. After carefully reading the data report and the introduction of budding cultural relics, we went to Canggang Ancient Town in Hanshou County for a field trip. A large number of Qu Yuan's cultural relics and budding cultural relics and descriptions related to Qu Yuan's works were confirmed, and people had to feel that Qu Yuan's hometown was probably in the life of Han people. At least "Qu Yuan's hometown was in the life of Han people" can be regarded as a well-founded new statement.
