Make an appreciative comment
Song Qi, a famous historian and poet in Song Dynasty, said: "Li Sao was the ancestor of Ci Fu and was written by later generations. If it is perfect, it can't be too strict or too round. " In other words, Li Sao not only opened up a vast literary field, but also was an unattainable model of China's poetry and prose.
Li Sao was written in 245 years in Chu Huaiwang (305 BC and 304 BC), and two or three years after Qu Yuan was released to the Northern Han Dynasty. The land in the north of Han Dynasty is north of a section where Hanshui River bends eastward and flows eastward. Today, Tianmen, Yingcheng, Jingshan and Yunmeng County are the lands in the north of Han Dynasty. For sixteen years, Huai Wangwan drafted a constitutional order and advocated political reform and joint Qin. He was framed by internal and external opposition forces and left the left post. Later, Chu was defeated by Qin in Danyang and Lantian, and Qu Yuan was called back to the court and appointed as the envoy to Qi. In the twenty-fourth year of Chu Huaiwang, Qin Chu got married. In the twenty-fifth year, Qin Chu formed an alliance with Huang Ji, Qin returned to Chu, and Qu Yuan was released to Hanbei.
Creation background
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.
author
Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC) was born in Zigui, Danyang, the State of Chu (now Yichang, Hubei), and was a poet and politician of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Slashed by nobles, he was exiled to Hanbei and Yuanxiang Valley. After the capital of Chu was breached by Qin Jun, it sank into the Miluo River and died for Chu. He is a great patriotic poet in the history of China, the founder of China's romantic literature, the founder and representative writer of The Songs of the South, and has created the tradition of "vanilla beauty" and is known as the "father of the Songs of the South". Song Yu, Le Tang and Jing Ke were all influenced by Qu Yuan. According to legend, Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, that is, the Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival for China people to get rid of diseases and prevent epidemics. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in Wuyue, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. After the death of Qu Yuan, this day became a traditional festival in China to commemorate Qu Yuan.
