What kind of character is Qu Yuan?

Patriotic, loyal and unyielding, with lofty integrity and fearless fighting spirit. Qu Yuan is the embodiment of justice and light. He hates darkness, yearns for light, despises ghosts and gods, lashes all filth, and vows to fight ugly traitors to the end.

The call and praise for Feng Lei shows his tenacious fighting spirit of sweeping away all evil. Although he is in chains, he is indomitable and inviolable, which fully shows his noble sentiments and lofty ideals of being loyal to the motherland and loving the people. Qu Yuan is the embodiment of justice and light and the image of an unyielding fighter.

Qu Yuan is a great patriotic poet in China's history, the founder of China's romantic literature, the founder and representative writer of Songs of the South, who initiated the tradition of "vanilla beauty" and was known as the "father of Songs of the South". Song Yu, Jing Ke and other famous poets in Chu were all influenced by Qu Yuan. The appearance of Qu Yuan's works marks that China's poetry has entered a new era from elegant harmony to romantic originality.

Extended data:

The symbolism of Qu Yuan's "vanilla beauty" inherits and uses the metaphor of The Book of Songs. Qu Yuan's creation shows emotional liberation to a certain extent, thus creating a brand-new poetic style full of vitality and strong appeal.

Because of the need of this kind of emotional expression, we can't be satisfied with plain writing techniques, but need to borrow a lot of mythical materials from Chu and use beautiful fantasies, which greatly expands the realm of poetry and shows its magnificent characteristics.

This opened up a new path for the creation of China's classical poetry. Poets with strong personality and emotion in later generations, such as Li Bai and Li He, were greatly inspired. It can be said that all the schools in China's ancient literature that pay attention to literary beauty can be traced back to Qu Yuan.
