Qu Yuan was a Chinese scholar and minister to the King from the southern Chu during the Warring States Period.His works are mostly found in an anthology of poetry known as Chu Ci.His death is traditionally commemorated on the occasion of the Duanwu Festival ,which is commonly known in English as the Dragon Boat Festival or Double Fifth (fifth day of the fifth month of the traditional Chinese calendar).
The Warring States Period covers a period during which the seven individual kingdoms,Qi,Chu,Yan,Han,Zhao,Wei and Qin - contended with each other for hegemony.Qu Yuan,who lived in the Chu State,was trusted by King Huai and did much to assist the King in governing the state.Following reformation in the Qin state,the Qin gained in strength and invaded the other six states.Qu Yuan suggested an alliance with Qi in order to resist Qin.However,this was rejected by some of the ministers as they could see that they would lose some of their power and privileges.They made false accusations against Qu Yuan that were believed by King Huai.The misguided monarch became alienated from his valued advisor and sent him into exile as a consequence.
In the years that followed,Huai,lacking the wise counsel of Qu Yuan,was deceived by the Qin into thinking that they could live together in peace.However,King Huai was subsequently detained by the Qin State for years until his eventual death.King Huai was succeeded to the throne by his son who was even more fatuous than his father.He disregarded Qu Yuan's advice not to surrender to the Qin.Qu Yuan was exiled to an even further away than before.
In 278 BC,upon learning that the Chu State had been defeated by the Qin,Qu Yuan,in great despair and distress,ended his life by drowning in the Miluo River in the northeastern part of Hunan Province.
Not only was he a true patriot,he is famed for leaving many immortal poems for us.During the days of his exile,Qu Yuan wrote many famous poems.In them,his love for his country and its people are revealed naturally.Among his greatest works are Li Sao (The Lament),Tian Wen (Asking Questions of Heaven),Jiu Ge (Nine Songs),and Huai Sha (Embracing the Sand).
Of these,Li Sao was the representative work of Qu Yuan and the longest lyric of romanticism concerning politics in the history of ancient Chinese literature.Tian Wen is characterized by 172 questions put to heaven.The questions concern aspects of astronomy,geography,literature,philosophy and other fields.
