First of all, this famous sentence comes from Li Sao written by Qu Yuan, the great patriotic poet "the ancestor of Chu Ci". Qu Yuan is knowledgeable, knowledgeable and ambitious. Internally, it advocates the appointment of talents, the improvement of statutes, and the joint Qin dynasty. Slashed by nobles, he was exiled to Hanbei and Yuanxiang Valley. Qu Yuan has been wandering around all his life. When his ambition could not be realized, he attached lingering feelings to his poems.
The appearance of Qu Yuan's works had a far-reaching impact on later poetry. After the capital of Chu was breached by Qin Jun, it sank into the Miluo River and died for Chu. 1953, on the occasion of the 2230th anniversary of Qu Yuan's death, the World Peace Council passed a resolution to identify Qu Yuan as one of the four cultural celebrities in the world.
Qu Yuan is a descendant of Qu Xian, the son of Xiong Tong, Chu Wuwang, a Chu native in the Warring States Period. He is a great patriotic poet in the history of China. When I was a teenager, I was well educated and knowledgeable, and I had a successful career as a teenager. In his early years, he was a Zuotu and a doctor in San Lv, and was in charge of internal and external affairs. It advocates promoting and appointing talents internally, keeping strict laws and discipline, and uniting with foreign countries to resist Qin. However, he was ostracized and framed by the old powerful class in Chu, and was exiled to Hanbei and Yuanxiang Valley successively. After the capital of Chu was breached by Qin Jun, it sank into the Miluo River and died.
The fate of Qu Yuan is closely linked with the fate of Chu State. He is upright and upright, and works hard for the prosperity of the country. He once carried out a "political reform" in the state of Chu to fight against the decadent old forces. Therefore, he was demoted, demoted and exiled.
For some reason, it reopened for several years. Because of repeated exhortations and doing nothing, he continued to persuade others to "unite together". In the 11th year of Zhou Nanwang, Qu Yuan was sent to the north by vagrants.
In the 13th year of Zhou Nanwang (302 BC), Chu was attacked by Qi, Wei and Korea. At the request of Chu Huaiwang, the King of Qin took King Huai hostage and sent troops to repel the armies of the Three Kingdoms. The following year, the king of Chu killed a minister of the State of Qin for trivial matters and fled back to the State of Chu privately. This incident angered the king of Qin, which led to Qin's constant attack on Chu. Qu Yuan's dissatisfaction with Chu Huaiwang's partial listening to slanderers has greatly harmed the interests of Chu, which can't be tolerated by upright people. So Qu Yuan wrote Li Sao because of his anxiety. Li Sao is one of Qu Yuan's representative works, and it is a magnificent poem cast by Qu Yuan with his own experience, ideal, sadness, joy, honor and disgrace and even his whole life. With infinite personality charm, it is the most important work of Qu Yuan.
In 278 BC, seeing that a large area of Chu State was captured by Qin State, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
Qu Yuan used his whole life to interpret this sentence well. The light of his thoughts is like the bright moon in the sky, shining in the starry sky of history forever.
