Why the dragon boat race?

Qu Yuan is the earliest romantic poet in China. His original surname was Mi, whose name was Ping, and the word Qu Xian was the son of Xiong Tong. The first great patriotic poet in the history of China literature. His appearance marks that China's poetry has entered a new era from collective singing to solo. Born in Lepingli, San Lv Township, Zigui in 340 BC.

Qu Yuan was diligent and studious since he was a child. In his early years, Chu Huaiwang trusted him. He is Dr. Zuo Zuo and Dr. Sanyi. He often discussed state affairs, participated in the formulation of laws, advocated rules and regulations, advocated morality, reformed politics, and United against Qin. Promote "American politics." With the efforts of Qu Yuan, the strength of Chu State has been enhanced.

Because of my personality, I don't want to listen to Dr. Shangguan when amending the regulations. In addition, Chu Huaiwang's Ji Yin, Shangguan's doctor and Qu Yuan's favourite were all bought by Zhang Yi, the envoy of Qin State, which not only prevented him from accepting Qu Yuan's opinion, but also alienated Huai 'an. Qu yuan's king. .

In 305 BC, Qu Yuan opposed an alliance with the State of Qin, but Chu completely embraced the State of Qin. Qu Yuan was also expelled from Chu by Chu Huaiwang and began his exile. As a result, under the command of his youngest son Zilan and others, King Huai of Zhu was deceived by the State of Qin and imprisoned in the State of Qin. After the King of Chu, Qu Yuan continued to be persecuted and exiled to the south of the Yangtze River.

In 278 BC, General Qin led his troops south to attack the capital of Chu. Qu Yuan's political ideal was shattered and he was desperate for the future. Although his heart is devoted to serving the country, he can't return to heaven. He can only die in May of the same year. I don't want to commit suicide in Luojiang. May 5th is now designated as Poet's Day.

During his exile, Qu Yuan left many immortal masterpieces to future generations. His works, gorgeous words, strange imagination, novel metaphors and profound connotations have become one of the origins of China literature.

After Qu Yuan was exiled, in the conversation with the fisherman, the fisherman advised him not to "think deeply" but to look for bitterness. Qu Yuan said that he would rather die in the river than be innocent and suffer from the dust of the world. In the eyes of fishermen, there is no need to be too high. The world is clean, the world is chaotic and can fluctuate.

In 278 BC, the state of Qin conquered the capital of Chu. On May 5th of that year, Qu Yuan died in despair, sadness and angry hope. The Dragon Boat Festival is also the result.
