Qu Yuan became a famous figure in history and even a typical one who died for his country because of his amazing jump in the Miluo River. As the saying goes, before Qu Yuan, after Wen Tianxiang, they all died for their country.
The demise of Chu. Qu Yuan is a leftist who works in Chu, his native country. It can be said that every patriotic person wants to contribute his strength to the motherland, and Qu Yuan is no exception. The king of Chu trusted Qu Yuan very much in his early years, and Qu Yuan also had a keen sense of smell. He discovered the heart of the tiger and the wolf in Qin, and the survival of the six eastern countries was gradually threatened with the gradual growth of Qin.
At this critical juncture, Qu Yuan showed a sense of responsibility as a courtier. He wrote many times to exhort the king of Chu to unite with other countries to fight against Qin. In the end, the five-nation alliance was successfully established, but after a certain victory at the beginning, the five-nation alliance quickly disintegrated, because Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin State, lobbied in the anti-Qin alliance and gradually disintegrated such a five-nation alliance.
Then, during the period of the King of Qin, he cheated him out of Chu and imprisoned him in the name of inviting him to join the League. Chu Huaiwang's son was forced to go abroad and succeeded to the throne ahead of schedule, while Chu Huaiwang died in a foreign country.
But we often say that the new king is enthroned and the political situation is unstable. In fact, it's true. Although Chu Huaiwang's son succeeded to the throne, there was a big problem in the political situation of Chu, and the tiger and wolf division of Qin took this opportunity to capture the capital of Chu.
Although the Chu people successfully moved the capital, most of the territory of Chu had fallen into the hands of Qin. Chu at this time can be said to be a boat, teetering.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the monarch of Chu began to be hostile to Qu Yuan, and eventually Qu Yuan was exiled. Then, when Chu was losing ground in the war with Qin, Qu Yuan felt as if he was going to die, and finally he threw himself into the Miluo River.
Death advice. In fact, Qu Yuan's choice to throw himself into the river was not a simple suicide. In fact, he hoped to warn the king of Chu through his own death, which is a very famous way in the history of our country, called death admonition. In the history of our country, there is a tradition of fighting death by force and remonstrating death by words.
For this tradition of exhortation, many friends say that it is to some extent to make them spread through the ages, because it can give them a good reputation and sing it in later generations. In fact, Qu Yuan's ci did enjoy such treatment, but I don't think it's that simple. More importantly, Qu Yuan was really a very loyal person before. But he watched Chu gradually decline and came to the brink of extinction. He had no choice but to think of warning Chu with his own death, hoping that the monarch of Chu could try to reform.
But in fact, you can see that Chu did not stop the pace of Qin, and Qu Yuan's death may not be of great significance to Chu. But in the eyes of our descendants, Qu Yuan has become a famous cultural symbol and a model of patriotism.
