As for Qu Yuan's "mourning" or "falling", there is no clear answer, because the usage of these two words is not strictly distinguished in ancient literature. Both "Yi" and "Jian" in ancient Chinese can express anger or dissatisfaction, so which word to use depends on the specific context and language environment.
