Is it worthwhile for Quyuan to throw himself into the river?

It is better to live than to die. It is better to live on your knees than to die standing. There is nothing wrong with both attitudes, but it seems to have more political influence now, but it can't just be regarded as a political show.

Death is immortal, even if he wrote Li Sao, he is still a useless scholar. Looking back, death is worth it.

There is another problem, that is, since the Seven Heroes of the Warring States belong to China in China, which country the later generations will serve is different. . .

Looking back, Qu Yuan's Li Sao became an example for later generations, largely because of his patriotic influence on the river, which made people understand and like it. In fact, contemporary Song Yu and others wrote very well, why not as famous as Qu Yuan? Politics and literature are combined, so is Wen Tianxiang. Another problem is temperament. Qu Yuan is patriotic, so he wrote Li Sao. If he didn't love his country, or he didn't love him so strongly, he wouldn't have written such a good work without throwing himself into the river. There is a saying that although the three Chu families died in Qin, they must be Chu, because the death of Chu and Han is the most unjust and the Chu people are more tenacious. Now some people in Chu say that the dialect "I don't know the Zhou Dynasty" (because the king of Chu got the story of the Central Plains, he didn't know the Zhou Dynasty), which was probably handed down at that time. I think Qu Yuan's death happened to be a psychological stimulus, so the Qin Dynasty perished so quickly (Xiang Yu was a descendant of General Chu, and Chen Sheng rebelled under the banner of Zhang Chu), and the defeat was also due to Chu.
