The original text and translation of Li Sao, the fifth lesson of the new curriculum reform in senior high school.

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

Although I am good at mending clothes, I am embarrassed by it and I am eager to change it.

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

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

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.

Extended data

Lisao is a poem written by Qu Yuan, a poet in China during the Warring States Period, and it is also the longest lyric poem in ancient China. This poem centers on the poet's life experience, experience and mental journey. The first half repeatedly confided the poet's concern about the fate of Chu and people's life, expressing his desire to reform politics and his will to stick to his ideals and never compromise with evil forces even in times of disaster. The second half reflects the poet's thoughts and feelings of patriotism and love for the people after wandering in heaven, pursuing the realization of ideals and dying after failure. The whole poem uses the metaphor of beauty and vanilla, a lot of myths and legends and rich imagination, forming a gorgeous literary talent and magnificent structure, showing a positive romantic spirit, and creating a "Sao style" poetry form in the history of China literature, which has a far-reaching impact on later generations. Its main annotations are Wang Yi's Chapters and Sentences of Chu Ci in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhu's Notes on Chu Ci in the Southern Song Dynasty and Dai Zhen's Notes on Qu Yuan in the Qing Dynasty.

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." Accordingly, it is regarded as after Qu Yuan's exile. 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.

As for the reasons for the creation of Li Sao, Sima Qian quoted Liu An's Li Sao from Biographies of Historical Records of Qu Yuan, saying: "Qu Ping's illness is not clever enough, flattery is too bright, and evil songs are harmful to everyone. Fang Zhengzhi couldn't tolerate it, so he wrote "Li Sao" with sadness and meditation. " He also said: "Qu Yuan went straight on the right path, exhausted his loyalty and wisdom to serve the monarch, and was poor in the world. Believe and see doubt, be loyal and slander, can you have no complaints? Qu Ping's work "Li Sao" is self-blaming. " Qu Yuan's "sadness" and resentment are closely related to the political reality of Chu State. Li Sao is a political lyric poem written by him 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.
