About the author
Qu Yuan (about 340 BC - 278 BC), surnamed Mi, surname Qu, given name Ping, courtesy name Yuan, also named Zhengze from the cloud, courtesy name Lingjun , born in Zigui, Danyang, Chu State (now Yichang, Hubei Province), was a poet and politician of Chu State during the Warring States Period. Because he was excluded and slandered by the nobles, he was exiled to northern Han Dynasty and Yuanxiang River Basin. After the Chu State's Yingdu was conquered by the Qin army, he sank in the Miluo River and died for the Chu State.
He is a great patriotic poet in Chinese history, the founder of Chinese romantic literature, the founder and representative writer of "Chu Ci", and pioneered the tradition of "vanilla beauty", known as "The ancestor of Chu Ci", Song Yu, Tang Le and Jing Chai, the famous Ci and Fu writers in Chu State, were all influenced by Qu Yuan.
According to legend, the day when Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the river was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival for the Chinese people to cure diseases and prevent epidemics. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in the Wuyue area, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because Qu Yuan died on this day, it evolved into a traditional festival for the Chinese people to commemorate Qu Yuan.
