Where does the famous sentence "The road is far away and the road is far away, I will search up and down" come from?

"The road is long and far away, I will search up and down" comes from the 97th sentence of Qu Yuan's "Li Sao".

Based on the context, it can be understood as: The road is narrow, long and endless. I want to go to the world to find the sun in my heart. Combined with the context, it expresses Qu Yuan's positive attitude of "exploring the road while the sky is still dark".

Manman: The road looks far away. Its: refers to "road". Xiu Yuan: long term. The road ahead (in pursuit of truth) is long and far, and I will (sparing no effort) pursue exploration up and down.

Now it is generally extended to: seizing the opportunity to seek the right method to solve the problems faced.

"Li Sao" is a magnificent lyric, which enjoys a high status in the history of Chinese literature. This famous work was written when Qu Yuan was exiled to the south of the Yangtze River. It is an expression of sorrow and anger by the poet full of patriotic passion. Qu Yuan felt that his way of governing the country could not be accepted by the King of Chu, so he had to walk away sadly and angrily to seek the ideal way of life. He used romantic techniques in this poem and gave a lyrical description: He set off from Cangwu in the morning and arrived at Xuanpu in the evening. How tiring it must be after a day of running around! I wanted to take a short rest outside the palace gate, but I couldn't! Time was running out and it was almost dark. I begged Xihe not to drive any further. Kuangji is already in front of us, so don’t get close to it! The journey before us is so long and far away. I have made up my mind to persevere in finding the ideal place. The way of life.

This poem in Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" has become a famous line that many people use to encourage themselves. A popular explanation is: "In the pursuit of truth, the road ahead is still long, but I will persevere and spare no effort to pursue and explore." In fact, this is no longer the original meaning of this sentence in the original poem. This is just an interpretation of this sentence without understanding the whole poem. Although it is heroic, it is very inspiring. Although ambitious, it has lost its original artistic charm and appears pale, monotonous and dogmatic. And it sounds like "the end justifies the means". If this sentence is put back into the original poem and understood together with the context, without taking it out of context or making random quotations, we can come into contact with the perfect artistic connotation that Qu Yuan wanted to express to future generations, and see a full, vivid, reasonable and reasonable poem. artistic image. The benefits will be far greater than just shouting it as a slogan, and it can also remove the violence and stubbornness in the previous interpretation.
