Dear leaders and colleagues:
Everybody is good!
This year, May 10 falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival.People will commemorate qu Yuans immortal soul by racing dragon boats, making zongzi and drinking realgar wine.
According to records of the Grand Historian and The Biography of Qu Yuan jia Sheng, Qu Yuan was a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period.He advocated educating the people and enriching them, and insisted on uniting against the Qin Dynasty, which was strongly opposed by nobles and others.Qu Yuan was driven from the capital and exiled to the yuanhe Lake valley.During his exile, he wrote immortal poems such as Li SAO, Tian Wen and Jiu Ge, with unique style and far-reaching influence.In 278 BC, the Qin army conquered Kyoto and Chu.Qu Yuan saw his motherland was invaded, heartbroken, but he could not bear to give up his motherland.On May 5, after he finished his masterpiece huai Sha, he threw himself into the Miluo River and wrote a magnificent patriotic movement with his own life.
After His death, the people of chu were so sad that they rushed into the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan.The fishermen rowed up and down the river to retrieve his body.Some fishermen took out rice balls, eggs and other food and threw them into the river, hoping that fish, dragons, shrimp and crabs would not bite the doctors body when they were full.Some of them took a jar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, hoping to stun the Dragon water beast and spare Dr. Qu.Later, fearing that the rice balls would be eaten by dragons, people came up with the idea of wrapping the rice in neem leaves and surrounding it with colored silk to develop brown seeds.
Guo Moruo appraised Qu Yuan as "a great patriotic poet".He initiated romantic poetry and established the style of Chu ci, which is "the same fate as heaven and earth, and the same light as the sun and moon".Invented the vanilla beauty tradition.His unrestrained imagination, boundless talent, like a river into the sea, boundless.Chinese is the longest.Lyric poem - li SAO, this is his lifes work.
Qu Yuan has been dead for 2300 years.Today, we are here to commemorate him, mainly to learn from his love for the motherland, love the people, uphold the truth, rather than surrender to the spirit of death, as well as the personality of "winning glory with the sun and the moon".As a reformer, qu Yuans political ideas and reform expectations failed because of the cruel social conditions at that time.But as a great patriot, thinker and writer, he succeeded."The world muddy I alone, the world drunk I alone" is his integrity, "long road repair far busy, I look up and down" is his great strength.He is as elegant as chrysanthemum, holy as lotus, his powerful spiritual strength eulogizes posterity, inspired countless Chinese children forward!
Qu Yuans greatness is not only his unforgettable poems, but also his unswerving patriotic spirit, the noble integrity of not conniving with adulterers and thieves.Qu Yuan is indispensable in the five-thousand-year history of Chinese civilization, and qu Yuan is also indispensable in the splendid history of Chinese literature.
Qu Yuans spirit is immortal.No matter how time changes, he will always live in the long river of years, will always be remembered by people!
