The magnolias in the morning are in the sky, and the continent is deserted in the evening.
The sun and the moon suddenly appear. It is not flooded, and spring and autumn are the order of the times.
Only the scattered grass and trees are afraid of the beauty's twilight.

Li Sao (2)
The pureness of the past three empresses is where the beauty lies.
It is mixed with Shenjiao and Guigui. Isn't it just a beast?
Yao and Shun were so upright that they followed the way and found their way.

Translation:
1. Zhuanxu, I am your distant descendant, Boyong - yes The glorious name of my ancestor. In the first month of the year when the star was in Yin, I came down from the sky. Dear ancestors, you carefully guessed the time and cry when I just came down to earth, and gave me the corresponding beauty through divination. The nickname given to me is Zhengze, and the nickname given to me is Lingjun. God has not only given me so many inner beauties, but also paid attention to cultivating my own character. I wear a fragrant river Li and Bai Zhi; and Qiulan as my own scarf. Time flies, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch this fleeting time and let the years shape my beautiful heart. In the early morning, I bathed in the morning light to pluck the magnolias on the slope. In the evening, with the setting sun behind my back, I picked mulberry leaves on the shore of the island to moisten my body. The sun and the moon overlap each other without stopping, and the New Year and the golden autumn alternate with each other, never ending. Thinking of the yellow leaves falling on the trees, I am afraid of the beauty. Ah, you also have a trace of frost on your head! Why, why don't you seize the opportunity of being in your prime and abandon your evil deeds? Why don't you change this unwholesome law? Appoint talented people to ride in the world! Follow Let me come! I will lead the way for you!

Along the broad road towards happiness and light. Looking back on the past, the virtues of my three generations of ancestors were so perfect and pure. Clusters of fragrant grass and flowers surrounded them. At that time, there were layers of pepper and osmanthus trees, but there were only cypress and angelica emitting fragrance? Oh! How upright and bright Tang Yao and Yu Shun were, they followed the right path and moved towards the light. Move forward. How frantic Xia Jie and Shang Zhou were. They only wanted to take shortcuts and take small roads, which ended up getting them into trouble. Those people who formed selfish parties were so content with it. They walked towards a dead end step by step without thinking about it. Am I worried? Will I suffer disaster? No, what I am worried about is that the chariot of Chu State will overturn! In a hurry, I rush back and forth for the revival of the dynasty, hoping to follow in the footsteps of the previous Ming Dynasty king. My lord, you cannot understand my sincere feelings, but instead You listened to the slander and became furious with me. I knew that being honest and loyal would bring disaster, but how could I watch the motherland sink! I dare to point my finger to the sky to let it prove to me that I am completely loyal to you!
Qu Yuan was an aristocrat of the Chu State, and he himself also reached the rank of Sanlu Dafu (equivalent to deputy prime minister). He advocated the political structure of "a wise king and a wise prime minister", and hoped to restore the state of Chu through his own efforts and the support of the King of Chu. The political situation of "Yao, Tian, ??and Shun". However, due to the alienation of the Qin State and the slander of the villain (the Chu King's favorite concubine Zheng Xiu and the Shangguan official Jin Shang), the Chu King became more and more alienated from Qu Yuan, and even exiled him several times. This Qu Yuan's sadness must have been great, but at the same time he was unwilling to give up his ideals, so in "Li Sao", he used images such as vanilla and beauty to symbolize his talents, ambitions and the King of Chu respectively, hoping to move him. The King of Chu, worked hard with him for the rejuvenation of the country; and used this to express his grief and indignation.
Sima Qian once wrote: "Qu Ping (Qu Yuan), the sick king, is ignorant of what he hears, and he is framed and blinded. Ye, the evil song harms the public, and the uprightness is not tolerated, so he wrote "Li Sao" with sorrow and meditation... Qu Ping followed the right path, devoted his loyalty and wisdom to serve his king, and slandered the world. It can be said that he is poor. Believe and see doubt, How can one be slandered despite being loyal without resentment? Qu Ping's "Li Sao" was written because of self-pity."
The above is the reason why Qu Yuan wrote "Li Sao".
