The table is independent Ruoxi mountain top Alone I stand on the mountain top

Clouds gather beneath me.

All gloomy and dark is the day;

The east wind drifts and god sends down rain.

The east wind drifts and god sendss down rain.

Leaving the spirit to cultivate itself, I forget to go home.

The year is late. Who will now bedeck me?

I pluck the larkspur on the mountain. I pluck the larkspur on the mountain side,

Complaining of the young lord, sadly I forget to go home.

Complaining of the young lord, sadly I forget to go home.

You, my lord, are thinking of me; but you have no time,"

You, my lord, are thinking of me, but then you hesitate."

The thunder fills and the rain falls. The thunder rumbles and the rain darkens;

The wind whistles and the trees are bare. The wind whistles and the trees are bare.

Thinking of the lord is in vain "I am thing of the young lord; I sorrow in vain."

One day he is Singing River, encountered a fishing hermit, hermit to see him looking haggard haggard, advised him " Do not rigidly stick to", he said. Do not rigidly stick to", "easy-going number", and the bigwigs were in cahoots. Yuan said: "I would rather go to Xiang River flows buried in the belly of the fish; security can Haohao of the fish.

China's people to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month to have This custom was later spread to Korea, Japan, Burma, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries.

Qu Yuan, who lived more than 2,300 years ago in the era of the Warring States, was ambitious and showed amazing talent when he was young, and gained the trust of King Huai of Chu, who was given the official title of "left apostle," according to Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian," who "discussed state affairs with the king" and "discussed state affairs with the king" outside. According to Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian", he "discussed state affairs with the king" and "received guests and dealt with the vassals", and was the minister in charge of internal affairs and diplomacy.

The Warring States period was a chaotic period in which Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin competed for supremacy, and Qin became increasingly powerful after it appointed Shang Yang to change the law, often launching offensives against the six states. At that time, only Chu and Qi were able to fight against them. In view of the situation at that time, Qu Yuan advocated the improvement of internal affairs, and externally advocated the alliance of Qi against Qin, thus infringing on the interests of the upper ruling class, and was ostracized and framed by those who had been bribed by Qin, such as Zheng Sleeve, the favorite concubine of King Huai of Chu, Shangguan Dafu, and Zi Jiao of Yin.

The confused King Huai of Chu listened to the slanders, alienated Qu Yuan and banished him to the north of Han, as a result, King Huai of Chu was tricked by Qin to be a prisoner for three years and died in a foreign country.

When Qu Yuan saw this, he was extremely angry. He was firmly opposed to surrendering to the Qin in humiliation, which was met with even more severe persecution from his political opponents. The newly crowned King Xiang of Chu, who was even more corrupt than his father, banished Qu Yuan to a place even more remote than Hanbei.

During his long exile, Qu Yuan did not give in. He insisted on his own political views and never went with the flow. He took up the pen to express his love for the motherland and rebuked the "group of small" misguided country, leaving a thousand immortal poems for future generations.

Qu Yuan is the first, the greatest and most outstanding romantic poet in the history of Chinese literature, and later people called his works "Chushu". His masterpiece is "Li Sao", the longest lyric poem in Qu Yuan's works, with 373 lines and 2,777 characters, in which he describes the blows and persecutions suffered by the poet in order to carry out his political ideas, and profoundly expresses his inner pain, his loyalty to the people and to the motherland.

What Qu Yuan suffered during his long exile and trekking was imaginable in terms of mental and life destruction and pain. One day when he was chanting by the river, he met a hermit who was fishing. The hermit, seeing his haggard face and withered description, advised him not to be so formal and easy-going, and to be in the company of the powerful and the rich. Qu Yuan said, "I would rather be buried in the belly of a river fish in Xiangliu; how can I be white and be exposed to the dust of the world?" Examining two seventy-eight years AD, the capital of Chu was attacked by the Qin soldiers, the poet suffered a great blow to his spirit, seeing the difficulty of the country's destruction, but unable to exert his own power, he was as worried as a burning heart, in the extreme disappointment and pain, the poet went to the Miluo River on the east side of the Yangtze River, holding a stone and sinking himself. He was about sixty-two years old when he died, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

Two thousand years, which in the long river of history can not be counted as a short moment, but despite the east of the river, the twilight of the day, the image of the poet Qu Yuan still remains in people's hearts. Today, every Dragon Boat Festival day, people still want to row dragon boats in the river, the dumplings tied with colorful silk thread to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan, see the poet's work and spirit is eternal!
