Qu Yuan's wife: To have children, you must have a wife first. According to the music history of the Northern Song Dynasty, The Jade Ring in Taiping and the Folk Customs in Xiangyang, "Qu Yuan threw herself into the Miluo River on May 5th, and every time his wife threw food, she sacrificed it to the water. At first, Meng Tong told his wife that all the food he sacrificed was taken away by the dragon. Dragons are afraid of five-color silk bamboo, and their wives use bamboo as dumplings and wrap them in five-color silk. " Although this is a legend, it is reasonable for Qu Yuan to have a wife. Based on this, Mr. Mao Qing speculated that "it is not a problem for Qu Yuan to have a wife, but it can be estimated that he is intelligent, beautiful and knowledgeable."
Qu Yuan said in Li Sao: "Women are full of joy, so I should give it." I think "a woman" is Qu Yuan's daughter. According to the custom of Chu State, I also think this word can refer to both a daughter and a wife. Yi says, "A person is a sister", so how can a sister become a wife? Because there is a custom in ancient Chu that a woman is three years older than her mother and a man is three years older than her husband, it is her husband's blessing that a wife is several years older than her husband, and she can take care of her husband like a mother takes care of her son. As the wife is older than her husband, her husband can naturally call her "sister". If this is true, we can guess that Qu Yuan's wife is a little older than Qu Yuan. She is a good wife and mother. She is low-key, quiet, supportive and caring about Qu Yuan, and is one of the great women behind Qu Yuan. Because I wanted to be unknown, I didn't directly enter Qu Yuan's works, let alone ancient books. What's more, in ancient times, "the husband was the wife", "married with the chicken, married with the dog" and "loyal for life", how could a husband be exiled and his wife not be with him? "In the process of searching, the visiting delegation of Qu Yuan's descendants also found the record that Qu Yuan had a wife. There are portraits of Qu Yuan and his wife in the second volume (1873) of Qu Family Tree in Qujiajian Village, Yuanzijie Town, Shanyang County, Shaanxi Province, which are marked as' Portrait of Doctor San Lv' and' Portrait of Ling and Mrs. Deng' respectively. "
In 322 BC, Qu Yuan got engaged to Zhao. Qu Yuan 18 years old, Bi Xia 16 years old. "Zhao is a smart, virtuous and talented lady. As a good wife and daughter of Qu Yuan, it is reasonable to criticize him for "giving him gifts".
