Qu Yuan, a Singer Facing the Wind and Rain

Bao Pengshan

Qu Yuan is a great book, and you can read it from generation to generation without trying your best. The material Qu Yuan died in 278 BC, but the spiritual Qu Yuan has been growing, and it is increasingly prosperous and fruitful. The shade nourishes the spiritual home of our country and people.

Li Sao, Qu Yuan's masterpiece, in a word, is not only a denial of the freedom of scholars, but also a denial of the freedom of scholars to abandon the world like my shoes, and also marks the establishment of another concept: "loyalty". Surprisingly, it is such a person who shows loyalty to the monarch, but his unruly personality spirit is particularly strong and prominent. It is this contradiction that makes Qu Yuan affirmed by some people and denied by others in almost all times.

③ The sentences in Li Sao are full of "fear", "sigh", "sadness" and "resentment" ... The poet cries! Cry for time, cry for short life, cry for endless pain and frustration in short life. Note that "people" in his poems means "people", "people's livelihood" means "life" and "people's heart" means "people's heart". He began to express his anger and demands from the perspective of "people" and "people". We know that anger in The Book of Songs is often moral anger and collective anger. Qu Yuan's anger, though supported by morality, is personal. Qu Yuan told us the specific grievances he suffered: the disillusionment of his political ideal, how to betray him, how to insult him, and how Yin and Jin merchants ruined him ... From his poems, we read the feelings of life, the fate of people, the embarrassment of life felt by an unwilling individual, and the oppression and even persecution of a person who maintained his personality and independent consciousness.

(4) If the "Book of Songs", which emphasizes "being happy but not lascivious, being sad but not hurting, and being resentful but not angry", is slightly dull in the sharpness of life feelings, then the principles of scowling that Ban Gu criticized are "showing one's talents and respecting oneself" ("cherishing reciting") and "self-pity" (. This sharpness is, of course, a cutting of society; And more importantly, this is a bloody stripping of your heart. Great personality rises from this pool of blood.

⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ ⑤ 931 A poet who always hides his face and cries; A poet who faced the wind and rain, "expressed anger with emotion" and constantly cursed the evil in the world; A haggard, haggard poet, singing on the river bank, singing Long song crying and writing poems with tears in his eyes!

The secular spirit of The Book of Songs is great, but on the other hand, it just dispels the personal meaning and hinders the publicity of personality. The depth of its entry into WTO only reduces the depth of its personality. Qu Yuan, however, faced his fate as a weak individual, but showed unprecedented height, depth and perfection in despair.

⑦ There were too few magnificent symphonies like Li Sao in ancient China. In terms of space, it is the longest poem in the history of China's ancient poetry. As a lyric poem, we have to admire the depth and breadth of Qu Yuan's own thoughts and personality spirit. At the same time, we should also pay attention to its formal characteristics. It is precisely because of his own plot that a lyric poem can be opened like a narrative poem. Lyrics with "plot" must be symbolic and metaphorical. Therefore, symbols and metaphors are also the main artistic techniques in Li Sao. Compared with the metaphor in The Book of Songs, Qu Yuan's systematic metaphor of "vanilla beauty" and the use of his own plots such as going to heaven and going to earth and asking a woman to divine are a huge leap.

Anyway, Qu Yuan was the first great poet in China history. There are many authors who can be tested in the Book of Songs, but I think the greatness of the Book of Songs is the greatness of the whole. If separated, each poem can be said to be exquisite, artistic and individual, but it can never be said to be "great". A "great poet" must have a great personality spirit, which can educate future generations; There must be great artistic creation, which can be unconventional and unique, both exemplary and unsustainable. It should be said that on these two points, Qu Yuan is well deserved. (Selected from Tianzong Sage, partially abridged)
