Qu Yuan is an ideal politician. He has his own beautiful views on society and life. In order to realize his beautiful ideal, he has been fighting for his exile. In fact, his struggle has encountered setbacks and failures. It is in this context that his country is in crisis and his personal career is in such a difficult situation. Under such circumstances, he wrote Fisherman, so he wrote Fisherman.
We can understand the fisherman as a real Qu Yuan. He met an old man in Zepan, probably a fisherman, and had a similar conversation with him. However, it may be that Qu Yuan himself expressed his inner contradictions in a literary way, which is called a self-created question and answer. The fisherman may be a fictional person, and his heart has two sides, forming a tension in his heart: one side is society, so why should I be so persistent? I also have the ability to adapt, and my situation will be better, at least not in a dangerous state. This is one voice, but another voice is ringing at the same time, saying that my social ideal, my political ideal and my pursuit of my own personality cannot be shaken by this temporary fame and fortune or the temptation and pressure from outside. I insist on these two voices, and he becomes two images, and there are fishermen and Qu Yuan.
