Qu Yuan was diligent and studious since he was a child. In his early years, Chu Huaiwang trusted him. He is Dr. Zuo Zuo and Dr. Sanyi. He often discussed state affairs, participated in the formulation of laws, advocated rules and regulations, advocated morality, reformed politics, and United against Qin. Promote "American politics." With the efforts of Qu Yuan, the strength of Chu State has been enhanced.
Because of my personality, I don't want to listen to Dr. Shangguan when amending the regulations. In addition, Chu Huaiwang's Ji Yin, Shangguan's doctor and Qu Yuan's favourite were all bought by Zhang Yi, the envoy of Qin State, which not only prevented him from accepting Qu Yuan's opinion, but also alienated Huai 'an. Qu yuan's king. .
In 305 BC, Qu Yuan opposed an alliance with the State of Qin, but Chu completely embraced the State of Qin. Qu Yuan was also expelled from Chu by Chu Huaiwang and began his exile. As a result, under the command of his youngest son Zilan and others, King Huai of Zhu was deceived by the State of Qin and imprisoned in the State of Qin. After the King of Chu, Qu Yuan continued to be persecuted and exiled to the south of the Yangtze River.
In 278 BC, General Qin led his troops south to attack the capital of Chu. Qu Yuan's political ideal was shattered and he was desperate for the future. Although his heart is devoted to serving the country, he can't return to heaven. He can only die in May of the same year. I don't want to commit suicide in Luojiang. May 5th is now designated as Poet's Day.
During his exile, Qu Yuan left many immortal masterpieces to future generations. His works, gorgeous words, strange imagination, novel metaphors and profound connotations have become one of the origins of China literature.
After Qu Yuan was exiled, in the conversation with the fisherman, the fisherman advised him not to "think deeply" but to look for bitterness. Qu Yuan said that he would rather die in the river than be innocent and suffer from the dust of the world. In the eyes of fishermen, there is no need to be too high. The world is clean, the world is chaotic and can fluctuate.
In 278 BC, the state of Qin conquered the capital of Chu. On May 5th of that year, Qu Yuan died in despair, sadness and angry hope. The Dragon Boat Festival is also the result.

I. Literary achievements
Qu Yuan is a poet, and only from him did China have a writer famous for his literature. He founded the style of "Chu Ci", which is known as "clothing is a poet, not a generation".
According to the collation of Liu Xiang and Liu Xin and Wang Yi's annotation, there are 25 works of Qu Yuan, namely Li Sao, Tian Wen, Jiu Ge, Jiu Zhang, Yuan You, Buju and Fisherman.
According to Sima Qian's words in Historical Records and Biography of Qu Yuan, there is also an article "Evocation of Soul". Some scholars believe that Zhao Da is also the work of Qu Yuan. However, some people suspect that the chapters behind Journey and some chapters in Nine Chapters were not written by Qu Yuan. According to Guo Moruo's textual research, there are 23 works of Qu Yuan that have been handed down. Among them, Nine Songs 1 1, Nine Chapters, Li Sao 1, Tian Wen 1, Evocation 1.
Qu Yuan's works are closely related to myths. Many illusory contents are developed from myths. Qu Yuan is also a poet who pays attention to reality. His works reflect various contradictions in the real society, especially the dark politics of Chu.
The style of Qu Yuan's works is obviously different from the Book of Songs. This is related to the differences in folk customs between the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin. At that time, the north had entered the patriarchal society, and Chu still had the legacy of clan society, which was tough and lively, and was not bound by etiquette.
Second, political achievements.
1, strategic equipment:
Shang Yang and Wu Qi's political reforms are all like this, and people are looking forward to it, whether they are farming or going out. Only by establishing a reward and punishment system will civil servants and people be willing to do their best for the promotion of professional titles.
2. Reward:
Tian Ji's "Qi Huangong" turned Xia Ji into a learning hall, which was open to talents. In the era of Qi Weiwang, Xia Ji Xuegong is still a place where scholars all over the world flock to it. Qu Yuan, at this time, such a reform is just the right time. However, it was in sharp contrast with the military reform of King Wuling of Zhao at that time. 10 years later, when Zhao became a powerful country in the Warring States period, Chu became increasingly depressed because of its weakness.
3. Anti-shielding:
Let the king of Chu exchange the needed materials with the people to break the situation surrounded by traitors of the king of Chu; The monarch can see the sufferings of people's livelihood clearly and does not listen to partiality. And the opinions of the theme can also reach Chuting at high speed.
4. No cronies:
In view of the fact that nobles and the old clan of Chu often collude with each other for personal gain, they crack down on ministers and workers with different political views and restrain them by law.
5. Reward and punishment:
Both Shang Yang, a famous legalist, and Wu Qi, a military strategist, pay attention to using strict laws to restrain the merits and demerits of soldiers. On the issue of political reform, Qu Yuan integrated the essence of legalists and military strategists.
6. Change customs:
Qu Yuan hated the unhealthy trend of Chu, and every eloquent and eloquent old courtier took advantage of the country's thematic interests. This reform also restrained Chu's bad habits in the form of law.
