A classic sentence in "Songs of the South" tells the story of life!

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

-Qu Yuan's "Li *"

I sighed, tears stream down. I am lamenting how hard people's lives are! Obviously, from this, we can find that although Qu Yuan was a noble in Chu and a scholar-bureaucrat, his in-depth contact with the working people during his exile made him deeply feel the sufferings of the people, so there were often poems in his poems that worried about the country and the people.

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

-Qu Yuan's "Li *"

As long as it conforms to my beautiful ideal, I won't regret it even if I die nine times. These two sentences show the poet's persistent pursuit of beautiful ideals. His ideal is to resist Qiang Qin's aggression, safeguard Chu's independence, and implement Qingming politics.

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.

-Qu Yuan's "Li *"

Ordinary people have all kinds of fun, and I'm used to being alone and loving self-cultivation. Even if I am dismembered, my mind will not change. How can I defeat my lofty aspirations?

There is a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down.

-Qu Yuan's "Li *"

The road ahead is still long. I want to look for the sun in my heart. It embodies the exploration spirit of Qu Yuan, a romantic poet in Qing Dynasty.

-Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs, National Funeral"

When the bird flies back to its hometown, the fox will die first.

-Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters of Sorrow for the Past"

The bird flew thousands of miles and finally returned to its nest. When a fox dies, it is said that his head is always facing his birthplace. Here, the poet's determination to never abandon the motherland and finally return to the motherland is expressed in the form of metaphor. Later, it was used to express people's yearning for their homeland.

I can't change my mind and do as the Romans do, but I will die of sorrow and poverty.

-Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters Involved in the River"

I can't change my ambition and obey the world. Of course, I will be unhappy and frustrated for life.

Coexist with heaven and earth, with the sun and moon in Guang Qi.

-Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters Involved in the River"

This is the poet Qu Yuan himself, Lapras, riding a horse to find the ancient emperor Zhong Hua (Emperor Shun) to swim in the sky, so that it can last as long as the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon. These two sentences were later used as a metaphor for the great spiritual character with eternal value.

Things are unclear: cicadas are important, and thousands of people are light; The yellow bell is destroyed, and the tile thunders; Men are arrogant and wise men are nameless.

-Qu Yuan's Buju

The water in the rough waves is clear, so I can take my tassel with me. The turbid water in the rough waves can be used to drown my feet.

-Qu Yuan's Fisherman

Surging clear water can wash away my hat tassels; Turbid water in the rough waves can wash my feet. After Qu Yuan was exiled, in a conversation with the fisherman, the fisherman advised him to "keep pace with the times" instead of "looking ahead and looking back" and asking for trouble. Qu Yuan said that he would rather die by throwing himself into the river than exposing his innocent body to worldly dust. The fisherman left and sang the following songs: the water in the rough waves is clear, so I can wash my hat tassels; Turbid water in the rough waves can wash my feet.
