Beauty in Qu Yuan's Poems

In Qu Yuan's poem Lisao, "Beauty may wither if the grass and trees are scattered". The beauty in the poem refers to Chu Huaiwang, the monarch of Chu at that time. "vanilla beauty" symbolizes the idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and "vanilla" and "beauty" also refer to people with noble moral character and wise monarch. The image of beauty is a metaphor, or a metaphor for a king, or a metaphor for itself. The former is like "only the grass and trees are scattered, and the beauty is afraid of death", while the latter is like "many women are jealous of Yu Mei, so they say that Yu Hao is lewd". Qu Yuan expresses his feelings through self-pity in many places, so the whole poem is sentimental. Refers to Chu Huaiwang

Qu Yuan's allegorical technique of "Beauty Vanilla" in Lisao has gone far beyond the so-called "Bi Xing" in The Book of Songs. Bixing in The Book of Songs is often just a fragment of a poem, a simple metaphor and association, but Qu Yuan's works have undergone great changes and development.

First of all, it began to mix and blend things, feelings and scenery with me. This is not simply comparing things with things, or getting excited by touching things, but combining some characteristics of things with people's thoughts, feelings, personalities and ideals, and combining feelings with things through association and imagination to form a symbol, thus greatly enhancing the artistic tension of poetry.

In the long poem Lisao, the poet grasps the rich aesthetic connotation of fragrant flowers and herbs, beautiful trees and Merrill Lynch, and the love between men and women itself to beautify the image and character of the lyric subject.
