Note 1:
Recently, the Qu Yuan Society of Hanshou County, Hunan Province, submitted the research results of the "Qu Yuan's hometown of Hanshou said" to identify, in a careful reading of the reported materials and unearthed artifacts, and then to Cangang ancient town of Hanshou County, a large number of Qu Yuan's relics and unearthed artifacts, as well as with the Qu Yuan works related to the description of the evidence, so that the Qu Yuan's works of art, and the Qu Yuan's works of art. Works related to the description of the corroboration, so that people have to feel Qu Yuan hometown is very likely in Hanshou, at least "Qu Yuan hometown in Hanshou," can be called a new one based on the said.
Family
Family
Qu Yuan was born in Chu noble family, Qu Yuan's ancestors and the king of Chu's ancestors, the beginning of the family name Mi, and later changed the family name of Xiong; Xiong Deduction, because of the merits of the Chu, and then resided in Danyang (which is now in the territory of zigui county, hubei province). This is the hometown of Qu Yuan. In the early Spring and Autumn period, about the 7th century BC, the son of King Wu of Chu, Xiong Tong, was sealed in the "Qu" place, called Qu Xiaoxiao, and his descendants took Qu as the clan. Among the kings of Chu, there were the Zhao and Jing clans, which were the three major surnames of the royal family of Chu. Qu Yuan was a Sanlu dafu, which is said to be in charge of the affairs of the three royal family surnames.
Qu Yuan was the king of Chu's original family, then called the "public family" or "office", so his relationship with the state of Chu, of course, is also different from the general. Qu's descendants, such as Qu Chong, Qu Wan, Qu to, Qu Jian, etc., in the state of Chu have served in important positions. Qu Yuan's father's name was Boyong. By the time of Qu Yuan's generation, there were not many Qu's who were big officials, only Qu Yuan and Qu Beggar, a general who was later captured by Qin. Qu Yuan's Chu Rhetoric "Nine Chapters" in the "Cherishing Recitation" had said, "Suddenly forgetting the lowly and poor body". It is likely that the noble family was already in decline at that time.
Birth
Qu Yuan's date of birth, according to the results of many recent studies, probably not out of the King Xuan of Chu between the twenty-seventh year (342 years ago) and thirty years (339 years ago). According to the a projected, that year should be wu yin year. Not curb its coincidence, Qu Yuan's birth is not only c year, but also c month c day. According to the Chinese calendar, the old saying is "people are born in the year Yin", so Xiazheng will build the month of Yin (i.e., the first month) as the first year of the year. Since Qu Yuan was born in the year Yin, month Yin and day Yin, which is really in line with the birth date of a "human being", he said in his famous work Li Sao: "Taking Tizhen in Mengzuo Ruoxi, but Geng Yin I am descending". This sentence means that in the first month of the year in which the star of the Taiyi year meets Yin [4], which is also the day of Geng Yin, I was born from my mother's body. It means that this year is the year of Yin; Meng is the beginning, Shuo is the first month, and the summer calendar takes the month of Jian Yin as the head of the year, which means that the first month of this year is the month of Yin; and Geng Yin means that this day is the day of Yin. Qu Yuan was born in the year of Yin, month of Yin, which is a good day (according to Zou Hanxun and Liu Shipei's projections with Yin and Xia calendars, it was set as the 21st day of the first month of the previous 343 years. The Qing dynasty Chen Jie used the Zhou calendar to calculate the 22nd day of the first month of the 343rd year), and is now generally recognized as the 340th year before the end of the year.
Taking a name
Qu Yuan felt that his birthdate was a bit different, so he said in Li Sao: "Huang Guan Kui Yu Chudu Ruoxi, Zhao Xiyu to Jia Ming, name Yu said Zheng Ze Ruoxi, character Yu said Lingjun".
These four sentences mean: my father saw that I was born extraordinary, and gave me a good name, the name is "Ping", the character name is "Yuan". Wang Yi in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the "Chapter and Verse" in the explanation of Qu Yuan's name, said: "Zheng, Ping also; then the law also", "Ling, God also; even, tune also. It is said that there is no one who is more righteous and level and lawable than heaven, and that there is no one who nourishes and harmonizes things than God on earth."
This is why the name "Ping to the law of heaven", the word "original to the law of the earth". With his birth year, month and day together, according to the literal sense, "Ping" is the meaning of justice, Pingzheng is the heaven's image of the micro; "original" is wide and flat terrain [7], is the earth's image of the micro, Qu Yuan's birth and name is in line with the Qu Yuan's birth date and name corresponded to the three unities of heaven and earth: "Heaven was opened in Zi, earth was opened in U, and man was born in Yin" [8]. This seems to be just a coincidence today, and it didn't matter originally, but at that time it was considered a good omen.
Diplomacy in Qu Yuan's time
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, many small states were gradually annexed by the big states after a long period of war. By about 403 BC, seven great powers (Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, Chu and Qin) had emerged to compete for supremacy. From then on, until the Qin Dynasty unified the six states (221 BC), history calls this 180-year period the Warring States Period. During this era, there were fierce struggles between countries, years of attacks and rebellions, and political turmoil. The poet Qu Yuan lived in the latter part of the Warring States period, when society was in great flux. The power of the seven warring states was not balanced, and as the political and economic reforms of each state progressed, their power continued to grow. At the beginning of the Warring States period, the three states of Zhao, Wei, and Han were once strong after reforming their economic and political systems. The state of Wei was also the most powerful state at that time after the change of law by Li Yucheng.
Unfortunately, their reforms were incomplete, and their location was unfavorable, and they soon declined again. The state of Yan was in the remote northern corner of the country, and was trying to open up the northeastern part of the country. After the king of Yan Kuai's abdication, some political reforms were made, but they were not fully accomplished, so "all the world's warring states are seven, and Yan is in a weak position". It was only that it suffered less from the scourge of war, and was able to remain on one side of the country. The remaining three states, Qi, Chu, and Qin, are still evenly matched at the beginning, and are not on a par with each other.
After the implementation of Shang Yang's change of law, Duke Xiaodong of Qin made efforts to increase production and encourage the people to fight, and after ten years, the country was so rich and strong that he attacked all the other countries year after year, and became a serious threat to the other six countries. Due to the power of Qin, any one of the other six states was no longer an enemy. Therefore, a group of strategists proposed the idea of "combining the six states in the north and south to form a vertical line from Yan to Chu to **** together against Qin in the west. The representative of this idea was Su Qin, who persuaded Marquis Wen of Yan in 334 BC to sponsor him to lobby the six states and set up an organization for the merging of the six states. In 318 B.C., Su Qin arranged for the six states to attack Qin, and King Huai of Chu was the head of the column, but unfortunately he was defeated. In contrast, Qin also organized a group of strategists to put forward the idea of "Lianheng", that is, Qin in the west formed an alliance with one of the six states in the east to form an east-west horizontal line to attack another state. The representative of Lianheng was Zhang Yi. In 328 B.C., Zhang Yi was the prime minister of Qin and implemented the policy of Lianheng, which was very effective. In the late Warring States period, when Qu Yuan lived, the struggle of the seven states for supremacy was basically a struggle to combine vertical and horizontal lines.
Chu's diplomacy
Among the three states of Qin, Chu and Qi, Qin and Chu were again the most likely to unify the six states, and Qin had the advantage. Therefore, Chu could only fight against Qin by uniting with Qi. And Qin could only destroy the alliance of Qi and Chu in order to attack them from afar and break them individually, and realize her great cause of unifying the six states. This is the diplomatic situation of Chu in Qu Yuan's time; in terms of Chu's internal affairs, if we want to be rich and strong and defeat Qin, we must strengthen the rule of law, limit the privileges of the aristocrats, promote wisdom and honor the ability to develop economic strength. Qu Yuan advocated the change of law against the corrupt aristocratic rule; advocated the merging of the vertical and vertical columns, and insisted on the foreign policy of uniting Qi against Qin, which was the correct policy in line with the long-term interests of Chu from the situation of the struggle for supremacy of the seven warring states.
Qu Yuan was first appointed as the left disciple
Qu Yuan was an outstanding talent among the aristocrats of Chu. He was well versed in history, literature and mythology, and had an insight into the situation of various countries and the way of governing the world; he was intelligent and eloquent. Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" said that he was "knowledgeable" and "skillful in rhetoric", and in his early 20s, he became the left apostle of King Huai of Chu. He was only one rank lower than the magistrate of Chu, and he discussed state affairs with the king and issued orders internally, received guests and dealt with vassals externally. The king of Chu trusted him so much that he even let him draft decrees and sent him on a mission to Qi to fight against Qin. It is clear that Qu Yuan was an important official of Chu who was in charge of both internal and external affairs. However, his spirit of reform and measures attracted the opposition and jealousy of the Chu nobles and ministers. The representatives of the opponents were King Huai of Chu's favorite consort Zheng Tu, his son Zi Lan and the senior official Jin Shang. These people were short-sighted and envious of the nobles, and only wanted to protect their own noble privileges, but put the long-term interests of the country at the back of their minds. However, they were so powerful that they surrounded King Huai of Chu all day long, swaying his words and deeds. The confused King Huai of Chu listened to the slander and gradually alienated Qu Yuan.
First Exile
(Northern Han)
In the 16th year of King Huai of Chu's reign (313 BC), in order to break the alliance between Chu and Qi, Qin sent Zhang Yi to Chu with a lot of treasures. Zhang Yi bribed a group of powerful and favored ministers of Chu, and deceived the king of Chu by saying, "If Chu can cut off diplomatic relations with Qi, Qin is willing to offer more than 600 miles of land around Shang and Yu." However, the king of Chu did not think so, listened to Zhang Yi's bullshit, and awarded the seal to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi was appointed as the prime minister; greed for six hundred miles of Shang brick land, really and Qi broke off the alliance; also sent people to go with Zhang Yi to Qin to receive the land. After Zhang Yi returned to Qin, he pretended to be sick and did not see the Chu envoy for three months. The stupid King Huai thought that Zhang Yi blamed him for not being resolute enough to cut off Qi, and sent people to insult the King of Qi again. The king of Qi was furious and broke off the cooperation with Chu, but instead joined forces with Qin. Only then did Zhang Yi come out to face the Chu ambassador and said, "Why don't you accept the land? It is six miles long and wide from a certain place to a certain place." Six hundred miles into six miles, the Chu ambassador was very angry, returned to the king of Huai, the king of Huai was furious, has twice to raise a division to attack the Qin, the results are defeated by the Qin, the loss of 80,000 troops, the general Qu Beggar, benefit general Feng Hou Chou and other more than 70 people were captured by the Qin army, but also occupied a large part of the land in Hanzhong.
At this point, King Huai was slightly awakened, "regret not to use Qu Yuan's strategy", "then reuse Qu Yuan", let him go to Qi, to repair the Chu-Qi alliance. After Qin defeated the Chu army twice, he was also afraid of Qi and Chu's resumption of diplomatic relations, so he offered to return half of Hanzhong in order to seek peace. King Huai of Chu hated Zhang Yi and offered to return half of Hanzhong to seek peace. King Huai of Qin did not agree, but Zhang Yi said with confidence: "With my Zhang Yi alone can be worth the land of Hanzhong, I am willing to go to Chu. [11] "Zhang Yi to Chu, after bribing Zheng Sleeve, Jin Shang stream, in front of the King Huai of Chu after some rhetoric, the confused King Huai of Chu actually released Zhang Yi; and the King of Qin married. Waiting for Qu Yuan to make Qi back, explain the advantages and disadvantages, King Huai wanted to recover Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi has long gone without a trace. In this way, Chu lost its trust to Qi once again. In 305, the twenty-fourth year of King Huai of Chu, Chu once again turned its back on Qi and went to Qin to welcome his bride; in the next year, King Huai also met with the king of Qin in Huangshi (northeast of Xinye County, Henan Province) and accepted the land of Shangyong (present-day Zhushan County, Hubei Province) returned by Qin. At that time, although Qu Yuan tried his best to oppose, but the result was not only ineffective, but also suffered the first exile, exiled to the north of the Han Dynasty (present-day Ankang area and the upper reaches of the Han River).
In the 26th year of King Huai of Chu's reign in 303 BC, the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei attacked Chu, denouncing Chu for violating the treaty. Chu asked Qin for help and even sent the crown prince to Qin as a hostage. In the next year, the crown prince of Chu killed the Qin doctor and fled back to Chu. In 301, the twenty-eighth year of King Huai of Chu, Qin used this as an excuse to attack Chu with Qi, Han and Wei, killing the Chu general Tang Mai and capturing Chongqiu (northeast of present-day Uyang County, Henan Province). In the next year, Qin attacked Chu again, annihilated 20,000 Chu troops, and killed the Chu general Jingjiu. At this time, the dim-witted King Huai remembered the importance of the alliance between Qi and Chu, and let the prince hostage in Qi to seek the alliance against Qin. In 299, Qin attacked Chu again and took eight cities of Chu. In this situation, King Zhao of Qin "invited" King Huai to meet him at Wuguan (east of Shangxian County, Shaanxi Province).
At this time, Qu Yuan had returned from exile in the north of Han Dynasty, and together with Zha Ju and others, he strongly advised King Huai not to go to the meeting, saying, "Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and cannot be trusted. However, King Huai's youngest son, Zi Lan, was afraid of losing the favor of the King of Qin, so he tried his best to encourage King Huai to go. As soon as King Huai entered the Wuguan Pass, he was detained by the Qin army and was taken to Xianyang, where he was threatened to cede Wu County and Qianzhong County. After King Huai of Chu was taken to Xianyang, the Qin army attacked Chu, defeated the Chu army, beheaded 50,000 people, and took 16 cities. In 296, the third year of King Haxiang's reign, King Huai died in Qin, and Qin sent his body back to Chu for burial. The people of Chu pitied him as if they were mourning their parents and brothers. The lords thus considered Qin to be unrighteous. Qin and Chu broke off their relations.
Second exile
(Jiangnan region)
In 293 BC, the sixth year of King Hà Xiang's reign, Qin sent Bai Qi to I Que to attack South Korea, and won a major victory, beheading 240,000 people. Qin then sent a letter to the king of Chu, saying, "Chu has betrayed Qin, and Qin is preparing to lead its vassals in a crusade against Chu to determine the winner. I hope you will reorganize your soldiers so that you can have a good fight." King Hali Xiang of Chu was so worried that he planned to make peace with Qin again. This was absolutely intolerable to Qu Yuan. Like the people of Chu, he blamed Zilan for not persuading King Huai to enter Qin, thus causing King Huai to die in Qin, and he blamed him for not encouraging King Hali Xiang to bow down and surrender to Qin. He wrote poems to express his affection for Chu, his concern for King Huai and his desire to rebel, and pointed out that King Huai's final fate was because "his so-called loyal people were not loyal, and his so-called virtuous people were not virtuous". This threatened Zilan, who instructed Jin Shang to slander him in front of King Haxiang, which led to Qu Yuan's second exile to a remote area in the south. The route of this exile, as analyzed in Lamenting Ying, was from Yingdu (Jiangling County, Hubei Province), first southeast down the river through Xiashou (southeast of Shashi City, Hubei Province), and distantly looking at the Longmen (the eastern gate of Yingdu) into the Yangtze River via Dongting Lake, then leaving Xiapu (Hankou, Hubei Province), and finally arriving at Lingsang (reportedly south of Qingyang County in present-day Anhui Province).
Expressing his feelings in poetry
From the sixth to the eighteenth year of King Haixiang's reign, Chu was basically in Qin's hands, bending its head and not daring to move. Qu Yuan, who was pained by the situation but could do nothing about it, saw his country weakening and his people's livelihood suffering, so he had to express his worry about the country and the people in poetry.
Throwing himself into the Miluo River and killing himself
Later generations wrote about the scene before Qu Yuan sank himself:
Qu Yuan was released from the river, swimming in the river pools, walking along the banks of the river, his color was emaciated, and his description was withered.
The fisherman saw him and asked him, "I am not the governor of Sanlu! Why are you here?"
Qu Yuan said, "The world is all turbid, I am only clear, all people are drunk, I am only awake, so to see the release."
The fisherman said: "Saints do not stagnate in things, but can be with the world to move. The world is muddy, why not quench its mud and raise its waves? If all people are drunk, why don't they sip their food instead of feeding their bad? Why do you not think y and raise your head high, and let yourself go?"
Qu Yuan said, "I have heard that those who are newly bathed will have their crowns flicked, and those who are newly bathed will have their clothes revitalized. Would rather go to the Xiangliu, buried in the belly of the river fish. I would rather be buried in the belly of a river fish than to go to the Xiangliu.
The fisherman smiled and laughed, drummed and went, and sang, "The water of Canglang is clear, can wash my tassel; the water of Canglang is turbid, can wash my feet." He then went away and did not speak to him again. [12]
Zigui ---- poet's hometown
Zigui is the hometown of China's great poet Qu Yuan in the Warring States period, is located in the northern bank of the Yangtze River at the foot of the Woliu Mountain, surrounded by the city wall, resembling a tilted gourd, with a strong classical architectural style. Therefore, it is called "Gourd City". And because of the city walls are made of stone stacked and formed, also known as "stone city". The Han Dynasty began to set up the county, the Tang Dynasty had set up the return of the state, the Republic of China in the first year of the change to the return of the county, the Republic of China three years changed to zigui county, has been used to the present day.
Legend has it that the name of zigui county comes from Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan had a sister, Qu Yuan was exiled before, she had specially rushed back to comfort her brother, its feelings and scenes, touching. Later generations to show respect for this virtuous sister, the county name was changed to "sister return", later evolved into the current "zigui".
Zigui's attractions are mostly related to Qu Yuan, Zigui County, outside the east gate, stands a tall plaque, on the book "Qu Yuan's hometown" four words, the Department of Guo Moruo handwritten. Next to two stone monuments, respectively, engraved "Chu Daifu Qu Yuan hometown" and "Han Zhaojun Wang Qiang's hometown".
Between Zigui and Xiangxi there is a sandy beach, legend has it that Qu Yuan's remains are buried, later named "Qu Yuan Tuo". Tuo on the Qu Yuan Shrine. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, after several relocation and repair, due to the Gezhouba dam water conservancy hub project construction, water level rise, in 1976 to build this shrine. Now is located at zigui city east to home ping. Renamed "Qu Yuan Memorial Hall". Three Gorges Project, Qu Yuan Shrine will be relocated again.
In Le Ping Li, about Qu Yuan's attractions and legends are many, such as incense burner ping, shine face well, reading hole, corn three hills and so on. Ancient people had set for the "eight scenes" and the name of the scene with a poem: "Dragon and tiger tsunami days, country drums rock even drums platform. Shining face of the well cold traitor gall, read the hole out of the Ri Sao talent. Qiusheng corn and sentiment, Lian drop pearl swing valley once. Lock the water back to the dragon with the Ze shore, three passes eight scenery wins Penglai".
Zigui is also the hometown of citrus with a long history, Qu Yuan in his famous "Ode to the Orange" Qu Yuan Shrine, the image of the orange tree and the character of a profound description. Today, zigui has become one of the seven major citrus production base in China. In late fall, full of citrus forests, green branches and green leaves hide red fruits, picturesque.
In the hometown of Qu Yuan, there is a wonder worth mentioning. The plowing oxen here do not wear ropes, but can follow the command. Legend has it that Qu Yuan went home from Chu, almost to the door of his house, the attendant picked the rope of the books and briefs broke, an old farmer immediately unraveled the ox-nose rope to him, and from then on, the oxen here no longer use the ox-nose rope.
The dumplings originated in honor of Qu Yuan
According to the Records of the Grand Historian, "Qu Yuan Jiasheng Lianzhuan," Qu Yuan, a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated for the promotion of the virtuous and the capable, the enrichment of the country and the strengthening of the army, and strongly advocated for the alliance of Qi against Qin, which was strongly opposed by the aristocrats such as Zilan, Qu Yuan was gluttonously dismissed from his post, driven out of the capital city, and was exiled to the Yuan and Xiang basins. During his exile, he wrote such immortal poems as "Li Sao", "Heavenly Questions" and "Nine Songs", which are unique and far-reaching (thus, the Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the Poets' Festival). In 278 B.C., the Qin army attacked the capital of Chu. Qu Yuan saw his motherland being invaded, and his heart was cut to pieces, but he could not bear to give up his motherland, and on the 5th of May, after writing his final work "Huai Sha", he threw himself into the Miluo River, and died, composing a magnificent piece of patriotism with his own life.
Legend has it that after Qu Yuan's death, the people of Chu grieved and flocked to the Miluo River to pay homage to him. The fishermen rowed up their boats and salvaged his real body back and forth on the river. A fisherman took out for Qu Yuan prepared rice balls, eggs and other food, "flop, flop" thrown into the river, said that the fish and lobsters and crabs eat enough, will not go to bite the body of Dr. Qu. People see have followed suit. An old physician to bring a altar of yellow wine poured into the river, said to be drug stunned dragon water beasts, so as not to harm Dr. Qu. Later, for fear that the rice ball for the dragon to eat, people came up with a neem leaf wrapped rice, wrapped in colorful silk, the development of brown.
Later, on the fifth day of the fifth month of every year, there is a dragon boat race, eat zongzi, drink xionghuang wine custom; in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
The people of Chu miss Qu Yuan very much, and the folk custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats is related to Qu Yuan. It is said that after the death of Qu Yuan, people cast sacrifice to Qu Yuan's food, are robbed by the auger dragon. The dragon, however, was afraid of neem leaves and colorful silk threads, so people wrapped rice into brown to sacrifice Qu Yuan; dragon boat racing is rumored to be to salvage Qu Yuan's body. Although these legends are unreliable (one said to commemorate the Yue Wang Goujian maneuvering sailors), but fully reflects the people's love for Qu Yuan, but also shows the status of Qu Yuan in people's minds.
Another legend has it that the local people cast the dumplings to feed the fish to prevent the remains of Qu Yuan was eaten by the fish, and then gradually formed a ritual. After every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month for the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats to commemorate the great patriotic poet. According to Wen Yiduo "Dragon Boat Festival" test in the Qu Yuan cast the river before the Wu Yue around the existence of the Dragon Boat Festival, but from the death of Qu Yuan more than 2,200 years ago until today, the mainstream of Chinese society has been recognized by the Dragon Boat Festival Festival to worship Qu Yuan.

Major works
Qu Yuan was a poet, and it was only from him that China had writers famous for their literature. He created the genre of "Chu Ci" (which is also known as "Lyrics and Fugues"), and is known as "the man of the cloth and the lyrics, not of a single generation". According to the record of "The Book of the Han Dynasty - The Records of the Arts and Letters", he left behind 25 works. Although there are still doubts about whether some of the chapters were written by Qu Yuan, the majority of his works can be identified as Qu Yuan's works. For example, "Li Sao" is the most important representative work of Qu Yuan.

Famous Figures of World Culture
WU Yuan was a poet who loved his motherland, and who was in agreement with the people of Chu in terms of his loyalty to his motherland and his defense against the strongest enemies. Although he failed politically, the large number of poems he left behind gave great encouragement to the people of Chu in their determination to avenge the humiliation and restore the motherland. It played a great role in the later overthrow of the tyrannical Qin and the revival of Chu. The development of history has not only not diluted the people's nostalgia for Qu Yuan, but also expanded his influence. After the Second World War, 75 famous people from 17 countries jointly initiated the "World Congress for the Defense of Peace". In 1953, the World Peace Council, which held the World Peace Conference in Moscow, decided to list Qu Yuan as one of the world's cultural celebrities, and called on people all over the world to commemorate him, so that Qu Yuan's name would be kept in the hearts of the world's people forever. At that time, the new China has just been established, in order to echo the World Peace Conference, to fight for international status, the Chinese people **** and the Ministry of Culture decided by Guo Moruo, You Guo En, Zheng Zhenduo, Wen Huaisha and other people to form a "Qu Yuan Research Group", and will be compiled into a collection of Qu Yuan's works, published in vernacular language form.
