Whose work is Li Sao?

Lisao is a poem written by Qu Yuan, a poet in China during the Warring States Period.

Original text:

Take a long breath to hide your tears and mourn the hardships of people's lives.

Although I am good at trimming my hair, I am embarrassed by it and I am eager to change it.

This is both a pity for Yu and a petition for it.

For the ideal cherished in my heart, I will not regret it a thousand times.

The resentment of practice is mighty and will never be seen by the people.

Many women are jealous of Yu's beauty. They say Yu is good at prostitution.

It is wise to stick to the rules, but correct your mistakes according to the rules.

Chanting rope ink chasing songs, competing with Zhou Rong.

I am so depressed and poor at this time.

I'd rather die in exile, but I can't bear it.

Raptors are not crowded because of their previous lives.

How can I be happy and how can I make my husband live a stable life?

Curse your heart, suppress your ambitions, but be particularly tolerant and angry.

Be innocent, die straight, and be thicker than the former sanctuary.

Regret not keeping the way, and it will be reversed after a delay.

I can't get back to the road until I get back to my car, and the journey is not far away.

After a long walk, the horse arrived in Xi, Gao Lan, and Pepper Mountain didn't stop.

I'll leave you if I can't get in. If you retreat, you will resume your first service.

Making lotus is making clothes, and picking hibiscus is making clothes.

I don't know. It's embarrassing. I feel like I believe it.

High risk is at stake, and Pei is far away.

Fang and Ze were mixed, but they didn't lose.

If you suddenly swim back, you will see four shortcomings.

Pei is colorful, not a badge.

People's livelihood has its own joy, and I am used to it.

Although my body has not changed, I can't punish my heart.

Translation:

I sighed and burst into tears, mourning for the suffering of the people.

I just advocate virtue and restrain myself. I didn't expect to be demoted sooner or later.

I was demoted because I wore incense sticks, and I was punished because I liked flowers.

This is also the virtue that I yearn for in my heart. Even if I had a narrow escape, I wouldn't regret it.

I still can't understand my heart. I hate my king. That's ridiculous.

Many women are jealous of my beauty. They spread rumors that I am dissolute.

Originally, the secular advocated opportunism and arbitrarily turned the rules back.

Flying against the quasi-direction and chasing the corner, I actually took meeting you as an example.

I'm depressed. I am lonely and hesitant. I am sorry to put up with poverty at this time.

I would rather die suddenly and disappear with the running water than act like a secular villain.

Eagle and every bird can't live together, which has been the case since ancient times.

Square chisels cannot be naturally combined, and different roads cannot have the same idea.

Endure injustice, suppress will, endure imposed sins, and taste shame.

Keep innocent and die for the right path, which is what ancient sages and sages think.

I really regret that I didn't see clearly when I chose the road. I've been standing for a long time.

I turned around and went back the same way, but fortunately I didn't get lost.

Drive the carriage to the water covered with bluegrass, and rest on the mountain covered with pepper trees after running.

Someone accused me of sharing your worries. I retired from the mountains and adjusted my original clothes.

Cut off the lotus leaves to make my coat, and make my bottom coat with petals.

If you don't know my mind, forget it, as long as my heart is really kind.

Raise my top hat and extend my long dress.

The fragrance and foul smell are mixed together, but my bright and clean quality is harmless.

Suddenly, I looked back and saw vast land in all directions.

I put on colorful clothes and smell good.

Life has its own fun. I love beauty alone, and I am used to it.

Even if I don't change, can I be alert and hesitant?

Creative background:

Regarding the creation date of Li Sao, Sima Qian said in the preface to Historical Records Taishi Gong: "Qu Yuan was demoted and wrote Li Sao." In other words, Qu Yuan wrote it after he was exiled.

Nowadays, people have different opinions about this. Some say that Qu Yuan did it after he was demoted, or that Qu Yuan did it after he was demoted to the king of Chu. Some say that it was done at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and some say that it originated from it, sometimes at the beginning. So far, there is no conclusion.

Li Sao is a political lyric poem written by Qu Yuan according to the political reality of Chu State and his own grievances. Because the twists and turns describe the poet's life experience, thoughts and circumstances, some people regard it as an image record of Qu Yuan's life course and call it the poet's autobiography.

The first chapter (line 53): The poet wrote from his family background and origins, reviewed his life's efforts, pursuits, struggles and failures, and expressed his unswerving spirit and unrepentant attitude with grief and indignation.

The second chapter (reflection) 38 lines; Then facing his own failure, he made a profound reflection. After all, it is an indisputable fact that you have been defeated.

Therefore, the poet started with "the path seems unclear" and first expressed his reflection with "taking a step back and dressing", but that's all, lacking waves and difficult to go deep. Therefore, he used the character "Sister Jia" to blame and persuade from the opposite side, forcing out the paragraph of "going to trial", which not only deepened reflection, but also strengthened emotion.

Even the "sister" who is closest to her and cares about herself most is scolded and persuaded in this way. Who else in the world can understand themselves? In a fit of pique, he "went to Shun Di to make sense". The result of reflection strengthened my ideals and beliefs.

Chapter 3 (Try Again) Line 38: I actively searched again, looking up and down, but there was no result. The poet wrote his own "Be careful to find the way". This is a renewed effort after being vilified, but no matter whether it is knocking on "Tianmen" or "seeking beauty", it ends in failure.

Chapter 4 (Wandering) Line 38: The poet has fallen into depression and wandering again. Efforts and failures, where to go? The poet was helpless, so he "took Qiong Mao to divination" and asked Ling Feng to count for him and make a decision.

The result of psychic divination is that you must travel far away from Chu to have a way out. After some consideration, I still hesitated. So I asked the wizard for advice. After that, after repeated careful thinking, I finally decided to "travel far away" and leave Chu to travel.

The fifth chapter (how to vote) 2 1 line; After careful consideration, the poet ended his wandering, recognized the "auspicious divination" of the spiritual atmosphere, and chose "auspicious day" to start.

However, the trip full of longing was abandoned halfway because of "worrying about Chu": "Bend over and stop." As a result, I can only choose to die for my country, "go back with Peng Xian!"

The whole poem is a first-person narrative structure with clear plot and distinct context, and its expression and lyricism are integrated into the narrative process, closely combining with the specific stage of plot development, thus achieving a strong effect of expressing grief and indignation.

Conceptually, this poem describes two worlds: the real world and the surreal world composed of heaven, gods, ancient figures and personified sun, moon, wind, thunder, wind and birds.

This surreal fantasy world is a supplement to the real world. There is no king on the ground and no emperor in the sky; On the earth, it is "everyone strives for greed." If you can't find a comrade, you can't achieve anything if you beg for your daughter.

This is somewhat similar to Xi Fang Ping's description of the underworld in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. Only in "Xi Fang Ping", the hero went to another world by turning people into ghosts, while in "Li Sao", he shuttled freely between heaven and earth.

This conception is more suitable for expressing the passion of lyric poetry. The celestial world envisioned by the poet is above the high altitude and the legendary Kunlun Mountain, which is consistent with the universal consciousness and prototype myth formed from primitive society.

Therefore, naturally, it is more mythical than the treatment of going to another world through death, dreams and eternal life in later literary works, and has no religious superstition.

The background presented by the poet is broad, majestic and magnificent. The beauty, strength and sadness of its artistic conception are unprecedented. In particular, the poet regards the image of dragon and horse as a tool from the world to heaven and from heaven to the world.

The horse on the earth is a dragon when it is lifted up. Originally, it was only the difference between the ground and the sky, but because of the implication of the changes in Shen Jun, the sky became a paradise. The poet formed the internal structure of this long poem with the help of his own plot changes from earth to heaven and from heaven to earth.

The plot of the fragments written in the poem is only used as the carrier of emotion to externalize the ideological struggle and emotional changes. However, these plots effectively avoid the disadvantages that long lyric poems are easy to flow in the air.

Some fragments in the poem reflect the historical facts at that time. However, in the performance, romanticism was completely adopted, which not only used the materials of myths and legends, but also used a lot of figurative techniques, relying on flowers and birds to express their feelings, "taking feelings as the inside, taking things as the table, and being depressed and resentful".

The deployment of vehicles in the figurative symbols used by poets is based on the inheritance of traditional culture, which always gives people a feeling of endless meaning.

Because of the poet's incomparable grief and passion, the whole poem is like a river, boundless. But after careful consideration, both the conception of artistic conception and the external structure reflect the poet's extraordinary artistic ingenuity.
