Why should we commemorate Qu Yuan?

In memory of Qu Yuan, in memory of his national integrity and Qu Yuan, in fact, Qu Yuan did not commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, but his spirit-"patriotism." A person cares about the country and the people, and does not hesitate to fight with death, even "although he died nine times, he still has no regrets." Such feelings, such lofty ideals, of course, deserve to be missed by the people of this country.

As a great patriot and patriotic poet, Qu Yuan was admired by later generations. His deep and persistent patriotic enthusiasm, his spirit of persisting in ideals, unyielding death, pursuing truth and boldly criticizing reality in political struggle set an example for later writers. There are many poems in Lisao that show Qu Yuan's patriotism.

Anecdotes and allusions-birthdays

According to many modern studies, Qu Yuan's date of birth was between 27 years (342 BC) and 30 years (339 BC) in Zhou Xianwang. According to Jiazi, that year should be Wuyin year. As it happens, Qu Yuan's birth is not only a cloudy year, but also a cloudy day in Yin Yue. According to the ancient saying of China calendar, "people are born in the shade", so Xia Zheng takes the month of establishing the shade (the first month) as the beginning of the year.

Because Qu Yuan was born in the year of Yinyue, which really accords with the date of birth of human beings, Qu Yuan said in his work Lisao: "She was taken to Meng Xi to raise her virginity, but only Geng Yin and I came down." "Take a photo of my virginity in Mengwei" means that the traditional star meets Yin, indicating that this year is Yin; Meng is the beginning, Wei is the first month, and the summer calendar begins with months, indicating that the first month of this year is.

"Only Geng Yin surrendered with me" means that the day when Qu Yuan was born was Yin Day. Qu Yuan was born on the first day of silver moon in the lunar year. According to Zou and Liu's calculations based on the lunar calendar and the summer calendar, it was designated as the 21st day of the first month of the 26th year of the King (343 BC). In the Qing Dynasty, Chen You was calculated as the 22nd day of the first month of the same year through the weekly calendar. Academics generally define it as the 29th year of Zhou Xianwang (the first 340 years).
