Brief introduction of Qu Yuan's story in Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and everyone will think of Qu Yuan. So what is the connection between Qu Yuan and Dragon Boat Festival? This article is a brief introduction to the story of Qu Yuan in Dragon Boat Festival that I collected. Welcome to read this article!

The Story of Qu Yuan Qu Yuan (about 339 BC-about 278 BC) was a poet and politician of Chu State during the Warring States Period. Chu ci? The founder and representative of. In the 20th century, he was selected as a world cultural celebrity and widely commemorated.

Qu yuan's life experience records the material of Qu yuan's life experience. Are there historical records? Biography of Qu Yuan is earlier and more specific. Before Sima Qian, Jia Yi was relegated to Changsha and paid tribute to Qu Yuan when passing through Xiangshui. This paper quotes some chapters in Qu Yuan's Lisao and Nine Chapters, and recounts Qu Yuan's thoughts and experiences, which are completely consistent with those in Historical Records. At the same time, Sima Qian wrote "seven admonitions" and Zhuang (taboo in the Eastern Han Dynasty) avoided writing "mourning", all of which were imitations of Qu Yuan's works. Qu Yuan's thoughts and experiences described in this article are also similar to those described in Historical Records, so

Qu Yuan's deeds recorded in Historical Records are basically credible. Of course, there are occasional misstatements or historical errors in biographies.

?

There is no basis for a few scholars in modern times to doubt the existence of Qu Yuan.

"Biography of Qu Yuan" said that Qu Yuan's name was flat and his word was original. In Lisao, it claims to have a proper name and a balanced word, which is the transliteration of the former. ? Ordinary? With what? Ling Jun? It is an extension of the word Pingheyuan.

About Qu Yuan's date of birth, the self-report in Li Sao:? I went to Meng Xi with my virginity, but Geng Yin and I surrendered. ? There are different explanations for this, which can be roughly divided into two parts: first, Wang Yi said that he thought? Photos? what's up Take pictures of Teague? The province said that Qu Yuan was born in? Tai sui is in yin, and the first month begins in spring, the day of Geng yin? That is, the following year, month and day; Second, what did Zhu say he thought? Photos? It's the name of the constellation in the sky, and it doesn't indicate the year. These two sentences only say that Qu Yuan was born on the silver moon and silver day, but the year is unknown. Among the two theories, Wang Yi's theory is more popular, but due to the different calendars, the conclusions are not the same. Pu Jiangqing speculated that Qu Yuan was born on the 14th day of the first month of Chu Weiwang (339 BC), and this conclusion is more detailed.

Qu Yuan's ancestor is Zhuan Xu Levin, who belongs to Xia nationality. According to historical records? The Chu family said that Levin's sixth generation Sun Jilian was the ancestor of Chu people's entrepreneurship. In Zhou Chengwang, Xiong Yi, the great-grandson of Ji Lian, was sealed in Chu, lived in Danyang (now Zigui, Hubei) and spread to Xiongtong (Yizuoda), that is, Chu Wuwang. His son was defective and his fief was given to Qu, so his descendants took Qu as their surname, so Qu was a branch of Chu's surname. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Qu's family has always occupied an important position in the history of Chu. Mo Ao, a senior official, held the posts of Qu Zhong, Qu Wan, Qu Dang, Qu Zhi, Qu Jian and Qu Sheng, most of which were handed down from generation to generation.

?

Qu Yuan's father, called Bo Yong in Li Sao, may also be an alias. In addition, it is said that Qu Yuan has a sister.

Qu Yuan's Political Activities Qu Yuan was an important politician of Chu State during the Warring States Period. He spent his whole life in fierce and complicated political struggles. Understanding his political experience is an important prerequisite for studying Qu Yuan's thoughts and literary achievements.

Since Qu Xian was appointed as Mo Ao, this position was almost entirely inherited by Qu's descendants. Its position is second only to Lingyin. Biography of Qu Yuan says that Qu Yuan is left-handed in Chu Huaiwang. According to the existing historical data, we can know that only Qu Yuan and Chun Shen Jun served as Chu Zuotu during the Warring States Period. Chun Shen Jun was promoted to Lingyin Left Disciple, which was the same as Mo Ao in the old Chu system. Judging from Qu Yuan's responsibilities in domestic and foreign affairs in Biography of Qu Yuan, the picture on the left is also equivalent to Mo Ao, probably Mo Ao in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qu Yuan and Wang Huai are cousins. He is a left disciple and an important minister according to his clan.

Qu Yuan's political activities are recorded in Biography of Qu Yuan and confirmed by Qu Yuan's works, which mainly include: assisting Wang Huai's internal affairs, discussing state affairs, entertaining guests, drafting constitutional orders and reforming laws; In diplomacy, he took part in the struggle between the United Front and the State of Qin, and twice went to the State of Qi.

Qu Yuan's political activities were related to the historical changes at that time. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the ruling system of the Zhou Dynasty could no longer meet the requirements of the development of the social situation, and the vassal States had taken themselves as the center and competed for hegemony. The situation of Chu is similar to that of other countries in the Central Plains. Due to favorable geographical and political conditions, it has developed into a new big country. During the Warring States period, various vassal states successively carried out reforms to varying degrees, and after long-term merger, a new situation in which seven heroes coexisted was formed, among which Qin and Chu were the strongest.

?

Qu Yuan helped Chu Huaiwang when the Seven Heroes fought bravely. Qu Yuan was trusted and reused by Chu Huaiwang at first, and Chu Huaiwang made him? Make it a constitutional order? That is, to preside over the drafting and promulgation of state decrees. ? Constitutional order? Involving the implementation of political reform. When Chu mourned the king, there was a precedent of Wuqi's political reform. In the early days of Wang Huai, he also wanted to do something, and he once won the position of trade union chairman. Therefore, Qu Yuan hoped to be updated as much as possible, and he was once supported by Wang Huai. However, the political reform in Chu was not thorough enough, and the political power was mainly in the hands of nobles, who opposed the political reform in order to maintain their personal status.

At that time, the court officials of Chu gathered together, and there were Shangguan doctors in the same column as Qu Yuan. He was jealous and competed with Qu Yuan for favor. Qu Yuan's draft constitution is undecided, and Shangguan doctor wants to take it. Qu Yuan refused, so he slandered Chu Huaiwang and said, Everyone knows that the King of Chu ordered Qu Ping to be safe. Every time I give an order, I will even out its merits and demerits, saying that I can do nothing but myself. ? Wang Huaiyong was timid and groggy, and he was angry with Qu Yuan because he didn't distinguish right from wrong. The fundamental reason why Qu Yuan was alienated was that his reform plan violated the interests of the nobles and was vilified by the old nobles.

Qu yuan's struggle with the old aristocratic groups is also manifested in foreign policy. Qu Yuan analyzed the situation at that time and insisted on the strategy of uniting Qi against Qin, which was a correct strategy beneficial to Chu. Chu Huaiwang took his advice and sent him to Qi. After Qu Yuan was alienated, the State of Qin sent Zhang Yi to Chu to lure Chu Huaiwang with land. Short-sighted Chu Huaiwang changed his foreign policy and adopted the policy of "absolute loyalty to Qin". As a result, Chu suffered great losses politically and diplomatically. Wang Huai was very angry and rushed to send troops to attack the State of Qin. Without the support of Qi, it was defeated by Qin and lost the land of Hanzhong. The situation was critical, and Qu Yuan was once sent to Qi again by Chu Huaiwang in an attempt to repair the friendship between the two countries. But it didn't take long for Zhao Haoqi of Qin to ask for marriage with Qin Chu, and wanted to see the king of Chu. Qu Yuan remonstrated:? Qin, the land of tigers and wolves, is not credible, not as good as wireless! ? However, Zilan, the son of Chu Huaiwang, suggested that Chu Huaiwang go to Qin. He said, Why Qin Huan? Chu Huaiwang finally went to the State of Qin, was detained there, and finally died. At that time, Qu Yuan had been expelled from the imperial court and exiled to the north of the Han Dynasty.

After his death, the eldest son succeeded to the throne and married his disciple Lan. At that time, Chu people accused Zilan of persuading Wang Huai to enter the Qin Dynasty, so Qu Yuan was widely sympathized. However, Zilan didn't think too much, but instigated Shangguan doctor to slander Qu Yuan to Xiang Wang. A great anger, and exiled qu yuan to Jiangnan. At about this time, Ying was behind Zhuang Baoying. Shocking? ,? People are separated and lost? He had to go to his hometown, far away. I wandered around Yuan and Xiang for about nine years. He is far from his old country and has no position. He just bemoaned the affairs of the country and family. So, he slowly followed the Yuanjiang River and headed for Changsha. Qu Yuan could not return to Chu, nor could he travel far for wisdom. At this time, he? Being placed on the river bank, looking haggard and haggard? . Finally, in desperation, he threw himself into the Miluo River to show his loyalty and patriotism.

Qu Yuan's thought and creation are profound. He is familiar with astronomy, geography, the system of rites and music, the ups and downs of previous generations and some important historical legends. I also know the history of many major countries and some important people since the Spring and Autumn Period. And the former king of Chu's' entrepreneurial history' is particularly good at it. In this vast field, he summed up many principles of governing the country and put forward profound opinions. In Qu Yuan's works, there are strong thoughts and feelings of worrying about the country and the people and being loyal to the monarch and governing the country.

What is the content of his political ideal? Mei Zheng? , that is, the politics of sages. He believes that only sages can change the political and social reality of Chu and make Chu strong. He warmly praised the ancient sages such as Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Hou Ji, Wen Wang, He and Chu san huang, and warmly praised the ancient sages such as Chu Yi Yin, Zhou Gong, Ning Qi, Jie Zi, Bigan, Bo Yi, Shu Qi, Wu Zixu and Wen Zi. He also used comparative methods to talk about some evil monarchs, such as Jie, Zhou, Yi, Han Zhuo and Zhu. He wants to illustrate the importance of sages through comparison and the danger of Chu without sages, all of which are aimed at reality. ? Peter Yaoshun's Geng Jiexi, who followed the Tao and got the Tao? (Li Sao), which means aboveboard, is the highest requirement of Qu Yuan for the monarch. The so-called virtuous ministers take Iraq, Fu, Lu and Ning as models, not nobles as objects. This is the significance of advocating meritocracy and opposing cronyism. Qu Yuan often uses the words loyalty, loyalty and faith when talking about virtuous officials. Qu Yuan himself, under the control of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, dared to stick to the truth and not bow to evil forces. For the ideal cherished in my heart, I will not regret it a thousand times. ? ("Li Sao") Ancient sages? Loyalty? His virtue is fully manifested in him.

The story of Dragon Boat Festival and Qu Yuan The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in China, also called Duanyang Festival, Chongwu Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. As early as the Zhou dynasty, there were? On May 5th, I bathed in orchids? The custom of. But many activities of the Dragon Boat Festival today are related to the memory of Qu Yuan, a great writer in China.

During the Warring States period, Chu and Qin fought for hegemony, and the poet Qu Yuan was highly valued by the King of Chu. However, Qu Yuan's ideas were opposed by the old school headed by the above officials, doctors and Shanxi merchants, and he constantly vilified Qu Yuan in front of Chu Huaiwang. Chu Huaiwang gradually alienated Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan, who had great ambitions, was deeply distressed. With uncontrollable sadness and indignation, he wrote immortal poems such as Li Sao and Tianxiang. In 229 BC, the State of Qin captured eight cities of Chu, and then sent envoys to invite Chu Huaiwang to make peace with the State of Qin. Qu yuan saw through the plot of the king of Qin and risked his life to enter the palace to state his interests. Chu Huaiwang did not listen, but expelled Qu Yuan from the capital. Chu Huaiwang attended the meeting as scheduled and was imprisoned as soon as he arrived in Qin. Chu Huaiwang was filled with remorse and died in the state of Qin three years later. Shortly after the King of Chu ascended the throne, the King of Qin sent troops to attack the State of Chu. The King of Chu retreated hastily and Qin Jun captured Ying City. On the way to exile, Qu Yuan heard the bad news of sudden death and the attack on Tancheng, but he was so desperate that he sighed and jumped into the turbulent Guluo River.

The fishermen on the river and the people on the shore heard that Dr. Qu Yuan threw himself into the river and came to the river to salvage Qu Yuan's body. This custom later evolved into dragon boat racing. People take zongzi and eggs from home and throw them into the river so that the fish won't bite the body of Dr. Qu Yuan. There are doctors who pour realgar wine into the river, so that the medicine can stun the dragon water beast and prevent Dr. Qu Yuan from being hurt. Not long after, a dizzy dragon floated on the water, and its beard was still covered with a skirt of Dr. Qu. People pull the dragon ashore, draw tendons, and then wrap the dragon tendons around the children's hands and necks, and wipe the seven orifices with realgar wine. Someone even wrote one on the children's forehead? Wang? Words, let those poisonous snakes and pests dare not hurt them. From then on, every year at the beginning of May? On the day Quyuan died in the river, the people of Chu all went to the river to row dragon boats, throw zongzi and drink realgar wine to commemorate the poet, and the custom of Dragon Boat Festival was handed down.
