Why do most people think that no poet in later generations can compare with Qu Yuan? Yan Xiaoer believes that the reason is, on the one hand, Qu Yuan's attainments in poetry; on the other hand, it is because of the significance of "his own deeds" to today's people. This significance is embodied in a kind of spiritual inheritance: Qu Yuan in Miluo Jiang's righteous martyrdom without hesitation moved countless descendants of China. His "tragic spirit" declared his loyalty to the "country". This loyalty has been praised and inherited by countless descendants. 1. The first individual poet in the true sense: the great romantic poet Qu Yuan
Qu Yuan is the earliest romantic poet in my country and the embodiment of the "patriotic spirit" in the hearts of Chinese people for thousands of years. Qu Yuan transformed Chinese poetry from collective to individual with "Li Sao". The romantic feelings he poured into poems such as "Nine Chapters" made him the first patriotic poet to leave his name in the history of literature.
As for the poet Qu Yuan, according to Guo Moruo's research, although Qu Yuan wrote many works in his life, people today can see probably 23 of them, including 9 "Nine Chapters" and "Li Sao". It is one of the remaining three articles.
Poets will integrate their feelings into poems, and from Qu Yuan’s poems, we can easily feel his ardent expectations for realizing his ideals. At the same time, due to the characteristics of the times, Qu Yuan’s works are often in line with the times. The fusion of mythology and mythology makes his works full of passionate emotions and fantastic imagination.
The romanticism in his poems is closely related to his real life where he tried his best but still failed. Qu Yuan once tried his best to help King Huai of Chu to reform and strengthen the country, but he was instigated by others and was exiled. King Xiang of Chu after King Chu Huai even chilled Qu Yuan. Instead of working hard to govern, he persecuted loyal ministers like Qu Yuan who had harsh words. . Under the confusion of right and wrong, Qu Yuan's integrity and patriotism turned out to be mistakes and sins.
Facing this situation, Qu Yuan, who was sad and angry, wrote passionate poems with "anger" as his pen and "patriotic feelings" as his ink. Since then, he has also formed a passionate mood. Among them "Nine Chapters" is particularly outstanding.
Perhaps Qu Yuan did not expect that he would create a new era related to "poetry". He created Chu Ci and became a great romantic poet who will be remembered by future generations.
Qu Yuan's achievements in the poetry world are closely related to his "tragic spirit". 2. Qu Yuan’s “tragic spirit” and his persistence in ideals
In a world where everyone looks forward to comedy, Qu Yuan’s “tragic spirit” made future generations feel the power of life. He used his own "ending" and tragedy as a carrier to continue his great "patriotic spirit". This is another "continuation" of Qu Yuan's life.
This kind of continuation makes Qu Yuan not only a great poet. For thousands of years, the Chinese people have inherited his "sincerity" and "loyalty" to their family and country.
In order to better understand the sincerity and tragedy of Qu Yuan’s patriotism, let’s talk about Qu Yuan’s “tragic spirit” below.
According to records, Qu Yuan was a descendant of Gaoyang and belonged to the clan of Chu State. Because of his extraordinary knowledge and his own unique insights into running a country and strengthening the army, he was also loved and favored by King Huai of Chu. appreciation. Facing the increasingly powerful Qin State, Qu Yuan actively persuaded King Huai of Chu to unite with Qi State, fight against Qin, and promote reforms to enrich the country and strengthen its army.
Originally, King Huai of Chu was the monarch whom Qu Yuan trusted and respected.
However, because Qu Yuan's series of actions, such as the reform, seriously violated the interests of some deep-rooted aristocratic groups in the country, and his talent even made King Chu Huai a little unhappy. Here, Qu Yuan, who was full of integrity and talent, was exiled under the false accusations of a group of young people.
Exiled together were the future of "Chu" and the "future" of Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan wanted Chu State to strictly abide by the standard of meritocracy. This is a good wish. However, as far as the situation of Chu State is concerned, since the Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the princes, the aristocratic class of Chu State has been passed down from generation to generation. The power is deeply rooted, and Qu Yuan's "ideal of meritocracy" is very difficult to realize. It can be seen at a glance. Even if it can be implemented, it will make countless enemies. This can be seen from Qu Yuan's experience of being exiled.
Here, Qu Yuan chose to be loyal to the emperor and seek talents.
But when that "jun" is not a virtuous monarch and his "ideal of seeking virtuous people" cannot be realized, what should Qu Yuan do? On the one hand, he was worried about the future of Chu State, and on the other hand, he was angry at the monarch's misunderstanding and speculation. He was melancholy, sad and angry, longing for "light" and struggling with pain. Even if the reality was bleak, he still adhered to his ideals.
So, he jumped from the Miluo River. This was the full expression of his "tragic spirit" and his final persistence in his ideals. 3. Why is it said that no poet in later generations can compare with Qu Yuan?
To sum up, what Yan Xiaoer wants to say is that the reason why later poets are not as good as Qu Yuan is because of Qu Yuan's unique "charm", and his charm is mainly reflected in two aspects, One is related to Qu Yuan's attainments in the poetry world, and the other is related to his influence on the Chinese people.
In the poetry world, Qu Yuan created Chu Ci and a new era of poetry in literary history. People can feel his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy in his passionate and romantic verses. Feeling the dynamism of that era and the burning heat of his life, Qu Yuan's poems are treasures for future generations. This is the great significance of Qu Yuan as a poet to today's people.
In addition to being a poet, "Qu Yuan" also symbolizes a spirit that has repeatedly rescued the Chinese nation from the deep crises of "dire straits" and survived again and again. It is the spirit of patriotism. It is the inheritance of Qu Yuan’s patriotism spirit from generation to generation, it is the absolute “loyalty” of countless “Qu Yuan people” to their family and country, and their absolute persistence in their ideals and beliefs that have created our peace and well-being today. This spirit that originated from "Qu Yuan" is a spiritual treasure that gives our Chinese nation unlimited vitality.
