Chapter 829: Li Sao
Qu Yuan's mood at this time was quite complicated. He didn't expect that so many people would worship him after his death, and even misunderstood the Dragon Boat Festival as a day to commemorate him.
This made Qu Yuan happy and a little sad.
Li Wu glanced at Qu Yuan and continued, "Senior Qu Yuan, you are the first patriotic poet in history. You used your life to love your country, but you were frustrated all your life.
Alas, it is normal, as for the career path, few people can have a smooth sailing," Li Wu shrugged, otherwise how could there be so many frustrated poets.
Just like she said before, if one's career was smooth sailing, who would have time to write poetry?
In ancient times, writing poetry was considered a minor activity, which is equivalent to a diary today.
Specially used to express my feelings.
Tao Yuanming and Bai Juyi looked at Qu Yuan. They still admired him very much, but also felt sorry for him.
"Senior Qu Yuan, your surname is Mi, your given name is Ping, your courtesy name is Yuan, and you were born in Zigui, Danyang, Chu State.
Legend has it that you, Qu Yuan, were born on the day of the tiger in the year of the tiger and the month of the tiger. Your father hoped that you, who were born on this special day, would have great talent, so he named you Ping, which means to imitate the sky, and Yuan, which means to imitate the earth.
But this is just a rumor, I don’t know whether it is true or not,” Li Wu looked at Qu Yuan, his eyes seemed to be asking.
After all, there are quite a few cases of people being born in strange ways, but we all know that most of them are not real, they just want to show off their differences.
"It's half true and half false," Qu Yuan said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Tao Yuanming and Bai Juyi also smiled but said nothing. These tricks could actually be seen through at a glance.
Many famous people are more or less different when they are born, and they all understand this.
"Senior Qu Yuan, you have been addicted to reading since childhood, and your knowledge is very wide. You have read a lot of books. I have discovered that many of you ancestors love reading very much. Most of you have loved reading since childhood, and you have read a lot of books.
"When I was a kid, I couldn't read books, let alone comic books. I just wanted to go out and play every day."
"Little immortal, this book contains a golden house and a beautiful woman. Only by reading can you know more things," said Bai Juyi. Qu Yuan and Tao Yuanming looked at Bai Juyi and nodded in agreement.
"That's true. Thank you, little immortal. Now we all use paper, which makes reading very convenient," Qu Yuan bowed. He couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Cai Lun, the inventor of paper. Really, paper is so useful.
Bamboo slips have been eliminated. Now everyone uses paper, which is easier to write on, and one book can be worth several carts of bamboo slips.
"Senior Qu Yuan, you don't have to be so polite. We are all doing fair business, so there is no need to say thank you," Li Wu smiled. She would feel embarrassed if she said these things again. She already felt that she was getting a great deal.
Although she did not save many of the things her ancestors traded with her, she traded them all with the system.
However, the system recycling is naturally not for reselling or anything, which is more reassuring. Instead, it is placed in the system mall. Not to mention, she has seen that the price is extremely expensive. She feels that she has been cheated by the system, because one antique costs millions of points, and the system only gives her a few points!
But even if she has an opinion, what's the use?
"Let me continue to talk about your deeds, Senior Qu Yuan.
In order to have more time to study, Mr. Qu Yuan would go to a cave in the back mountain to study the "Book of Songs" after school every day. This also gave Mr. Qu Yuan more opportunities to come into contact with the working people in the mountains.
And these accumulations will have a great influence on your creation, Mr. Qu Yuan.
But I never expected that you, Senior Qu Yuan, are so hardworking. You are really amazing, on par with Senior Bai Juyi," Li Wu gave a thumbs up, he is really amazing.
"I'm naturally no match for Bai Juyi, a younger generation," Qu Yuan said modestly, and took a special look at Bai Juyi's hair. He really couldn't be as hardworking as the other.
"Why did senior Qu Yuan say that? Never mind. There is no point in arguing about this. I would like to offer a toast to the two seniors. You two are the role models for poets in later dynasties," Bai Juyi said, raising his glass. As for people with literary talent, they, the literati, admired and respected them very much.
Qu Yuan and Tao Yuanming also raised their glasses and drank. Especially Tao Yuanming, the only thing in his eyes was the wine. He must have been drunken-headed.
Li Wu looked at this scene. He was drinking without her. It made her feel embarrassed every time. She didn't know whether she should drink or not. Forget it, she just drank it. She felt a little thirsty as she spoke.
After drinking, the three of them looked at the little fairy, as if waiting for her to continue speaking, so Li Wu could only continue speaking, "Senior Qu Yuan, your talent and knowledge will soon be valued by the court.
In 317 BC, Qu Yuan was appointed as Zuotu by King Huai of Chu.
So, Mr. Qu Yuan, you began to carry out in-depth reforms in the State of Chu, formulating and issuing various laws.
You propose ways of governing to assist the country and participate in state affairs, and you revise laws and regulations to govern the people and ensure that your orders are enforced.
This made the Chu State gradually stronger and it became a powerful country on par with the Qin and Qi States at that time.
However, because of your upright character, Mr. Qu Yuan was unwilling to listen to the opinions of Shangguan Doctor when revising the laws, and he became involved in corruption. In addition, King Huai of Chu's Prime Minister Zilan, Shangguan Doctor Jin Shang and his favorite concubine Zheng Xiu were bribed by Zhang Yi of Qin.
Not only did it prevent King Huai of Chu from accepting your advice, Qu Yuan, but it also alienated King Huai of Chu from you.
Although what Qin did was not right, it was not King Huai of Chu's fault," Li Wu said, still defending Qin.
Qu Yuan and the other two looked at the little fairy in unison. They didn't expect that you would be such a little fairy. You are definitely biased towards Qin.
Qu Yuan did not say anything. Now that they have signed a peace treaty, they plan to fight outside first. The main reason is that they look down on this small piece of land. They know that there are such large lands outside waiting for them to conquer. Who would be willing to fight with several countries for a small piece of land?
They didn't know it before, but now that they know, they will definitely take it down.
Moreover, the seven countries are secretly competing to see who can conquer more land!
The Qin people were happy, as they had long felt that the immortal was quite partial to them, and this was mainly due to the unification of the country by Qin Shi Huang.
"So, in 314 BC, King Huai of Chu dismissed Qu Yuan from his post as Zuotu and replaced him with the post of Sanlu Doctor in charge of clan affairs.
Not long after, Mr. Qu Yuan, you were expelled from Yingdu by King Huai of Chu because you opposed the Huangji Alliance between King Huai of Chu and the State of Qin, and began your exile.
The longest lyric poem in ancient China, "Li Sao", was also produced here.
Your career has indeed been a bit bumpy," Li Wu looked at Qu Yuan with sympathy, but it was also true that as a person in a higher position, who would be willing to listen to unpleasant words?
