What kind of person is Qu Yuan, what kind of person is Qu Yuan

Qu Yuan was a great poet and statesman during the Warring States period. His lofty patriotism and selfless fighting spirit are the characteristics of his character. He loved the motherland and the people, and sincerely hoped that the state of Chu would become strong and prosperous and realize the great cause of reunifying China.

However, his lord is so mediocre that he hates the extinction of nature. More than 2,300 years later, the poet Chen Zhisui sighed incomparably, and his poem "Qu Yuan" said: "The mighty spirit is dry and the Han is dry, and Shen Xiang is loyal to the pigtails."

is worthy of the master, and he has nothing to do. (Excerpted from "Zaijingtang Collection: Jiangnan Jingshi Poems").

An idler, who is full of food.

Chu Ci: The Fisherman has created two images, one is Qu Yuan, who is "the whole world is turbid, I am alone, and the whole world is drunk and I am awake", and the other is the fisherman who "does not stagnate in things, and moves with the world".

From the fisherman's words to persuade Qu Yuan, "The whole world is turbid, why not mud its mud and raise its waves", it can be seen that the fisherman advocates a sleek attitude of prudence, but from the "Song of the Waves" he sang when he left, "The water of the waves is clear and can be wet, and the water of the waves can be wetted with my feet", it can be seen that this kind of sleek embodiment is a gentleman's attitude towards life. But this attitude is too tactful and suspicious of going with the flow.

As for Qu Yuan, his ambition is noble, he is unwilling to go along with the world, and he is willing to die with the attitude of clear will, although it is valuable and respectable and worthy of praise, but it is inevitably too strong, and it is easy to break if it is too rigid.

Therefore, in real life, we should be like copper coins, maintain the attitude of the outer circle and the inner square, the surface is smooth to better adapt to the environment, and we must know how to be flexible when dealing with people, but we must not follow the crowd inside, but we must have our own persistence and principles. This is the wisdom of the world.

Qu Yuan was a poet, and it was from him that China had writers who were famous for their literature. He founded the literary style of "Chu Ci" (that is, the literary style of "Cifu"), which is known as "the person who is clothed and written, not a generation". Qu Yuan's works, according to the proofreading of Liu Xiang, Liu Xin and his sons, and Wang Yi's annotations, have 25 articles, namely 1 article of "Lisao", 1 article of "Tianwen", 11 articles of "Nine Songs", 9 articles of "Nine Chapters", and 1 article each of "Far Travel", "Buju" and "Fisherman".

According to Sima Qianyu in "Historical Records: The Biography of Qu Yuan", there is also 1 article of "The Conjuring". Some scholars believe that "The Great Move" is also Qu Yuan's work; However, some people suspect that the following chapters of "Far Travel" and some chapters in "Nine Chapters" are not written by Qu Yuan. According to Mr. Guo Moruo's research, a total of 23 works of Qu Yuan have been handed down.

Generally speaking, "Lisao", "Tianwen" and "Nine Songs" can be used as representatives of the three types of Qu Yuan's works. "Nine Chapters", "Far Travel", "Buju", "Fisherman", "Conjuring" and "Big Move", its content and style can be listed as a group with "Lisao", most of them have something to evidence, righteousness to show, and focus on expressing the author's inner feelings. "Lisao" is a magnificent poem forged by Qu Yuan with his own ideals, encounters, pains, passions and even his whole life, which shines with a distinct personality brilliance, which is the focus of all Qu Yuan's creations.

Tianwen is a poem composed by Qu Yuan based on mythological and legendary materials, focusing on the author's academic attainments and his view of history and nature. "Nine Songs" is a piece of music for the gods of Chu State, which has been processed and polished by Qu Yuan, and is full of a strong breath of life in the expression of the characters' feelings and the description of the environmental atmosphere. However, it is a generational or divine expression, not the author's self-lyricism, it shows more traces of the literary tradition of Southern Chu.

The group of "Lisao" and the group of "Nine Songs" constitute the basic style of Qu Yuan's works.

Qu Yuan's works are closely related to mythology. Much of the illusory content has been developed from mythology. Qu Yuan is also a poet who pays attention to reality, and his works reflect all kinds of contradictions in real society, especially exposing the dark politics of Chu State.

The style of Qu Yuan's works is obviously different from that of the Book of Songs. This is related to the difference between the folk customs in the Yangtze River basin and the Yellow River basin. At that time, the north had already entered the patriarchal society, and Chu still had the legacy of the clan society, the people were strong, the thinking was lively, and they were not bound by etiquette and law.

Therefore, it is so straightforward to express the feelings of men and women, and the patriotism of people with lofty ideals, and the materials used are so rich, anything can run to the bottom of the pen. Write about the love of people and gods, write about crazy people, write about ancient history and legends, write about traveling with gods and ghosts, all gods have ordinary human nature, and gods are just people beyond ordinary people. They make the work appear colorful, emotional, and unrestrained.

Such works show characteristics that are different from those of northern literature.

In addition to Qu Yuan being a poet, what other identities does he have? Let's come one by one.

Qu Yuan, a nobleman of the Chu State, was born in the nobility of the Chu State, and like the King of Chu, he was surnamed Mi, and later changed his surname to Xiong. The King of Chu's own family is similar to the Qu family. The Zhao family and the Jing family in the Warring States Period, plus the Qu family is the three jujube surnames of the Chu royal family, the Qu family has been in the upper echelons of the Chu State from the early Spring and Autumn Period to the late Warring States period, and this family can be described as enduring.

In Qu Yuan's generation, only Qu Yuan and Qu Qi, the general who was later captured by the Qin State, were in the high position of the Chu State.

In order to realize the great cause of revitalizing the Chu State, Qu Yuan actively assisted King Huai to change the law and try to become stronger, and resolutely advocated joining forces to resist Qin externally, so that the Chu State once appeared a situation of national wealth and strong army.

Qu Yuan is a continuation of Wu Qi's changes, mainly aimed at the old aristocratic forces of the Chu State. Therefore, the nobles of Chu State, led by Gongzi Zilan, were very jealous and jealous of Qu Yuan, and often spoke ill of Qu Yuan in front of King Huai. said that he seized the dictatorship, and did not take King Huai in his eyes at all.

There were many people who spoke, and Qu Yuan was gradually alienated.

Sanlu Doctor "Sanlu Doctor" is a special official position of Chu during the Warring States Period, the main work is to preside over the temple sacrifice, that is, to worship the ancestors, in the pre-Qin period, there are various forms such as moon sacrifice, four o'clock sacrifice and section sacrifice. The ancient ancestor worship ritual was very complicated, and it was not clear to non-specialists, so Qu Yuan still had an identity similar to that of a "high priest".

Qu Yuan, the keeper of the spirit of honesty and loyalty, was also a principled and ethical "philosopher of law"; he invented the concept of "honesty" and boasted that "it is better to be honest and upright than to be self-purifying".

Qu Yuan's incorruptible spirit is closely related to his loyal attitude, he has always been loyal to the king, to his heart, and to the law. It can be said that his belief in resolutely throwing himself into the river is the best and the spirit of honesty and loyalty, not following the trend, loyal to the country, loyal to the heart. Therefore, it has been worshiped and commemorated by countless people throughout history and even now.
