Continues from the previous article. In the previous , Qu Yuan talked about his noble bloodline and his ambition to be the first in the world. Next, Qu Yuan talked about the process of King Chu's change of heart and his alienation.
The purity of the past three empresses is why they are so popular:
As for who the "three empresses" are, different contexts have different meanings. There are also different voices in the academic circles about the "three empresses" in "Li Sao": generally It is thought that it is about Dayu , Shang Tang and King Wen of Zhou . This is from Wang Yi " Songs of Chu "; some people think that it is the three kings of Chu Kingdom . For example, I bought In this book, it is translated as "Three Kings of Chu", and some people say they are Wan Xiong , Xiong Yi and King Chuzhuang .
I will not do an academic discussion here, but will take a look at the great figures in the history of Chu State.
As mentioned above, the Chu Kingdom lasted for more than 800 years and had 43 monarchs (including Changping Jun). The Kingdom of Chu also had its glory days, and Wan Xiong certainly contributed a lot, decisively seizing the opportunity for development; He became one of the three little tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, and established himself as King Wu, marking the official independence of the Chu State from the Zhou Dynasty . From then on, all Chu kings became kings, setting the precedent for princes to arrogantly claim the title of king.
King of ChuzhuangXiong LuIt was nothing but a blockbuster, which made the Chu country stronger and stronger. By the Warring States period Chu was the strongest, occupying half of the world's territory at its peak.
King Chu Mourning discovered the talent Wu Qi, which is just one word different from Bai Qi . He was more than 100 years earlier than Bai Qi. He was a very great military strategist and military strategist in the early days of the Warring States period . He was also a reformer. During his reforms Under this, the Chu State showed a very good development momentum, but again, people who reformed often did not end well. Wu Qi offended the old nobles because of his reforms, and King Chu Mourning was brutally killed after his death. Of course, he has been criticized in history, but his contribution to Chu State cannot be denied.
Note: The picture comes from the Internet
King Xuan of Chu expanded the land and accumulated money, King Wei of Chu expanded the territory, making Chu a powerful country in the world, but no matter how rich the family background was, it could not withstand the blindness of King Huai of Chu After much trouble, he was deceived by Zhang Yi's " Qin Di six hundred miles", and resolutely broke off diplomatic relations with Qi State . After learning that he had been deceived, he attacked Qin State in anger, losing his wife and surrendering his troops. The state of Chu has never recovered since then. Not every king of Chu in history was a wise king, but there was always a chance to rise. However, this time history never gave Chu a chance. After King Huai of Chu, the mediocrity of King Chu Qingxiang is even more difficult to describe. To strengthen the Qin Dynasty, even if the subsequent kings wanted to turn the tide, they would probably be powerless, and the Chu Kingdom would eventually perish.
Qu Yuan started from the pure "Three Empresses", and later gave the examples of Yao, Shun and Jie Zhou, which once again illustrates that the monarch's virtues are noble, and only when there are " all the fragrances " around him, will he be loved by the people; the monarch will be loved by the people; How can the country improve if one's moral character is lacking and he is surrounded by sycophants and sycophants? From ancient times to the present, whether it is a country or a company, there are too many positive and negative teaching materials, but the sad thing is that there are still people who continue to repeat the same mistakes.
Miscellaneous Shenjiao and Bacteria Gui Xi, how can we maintain Huì (chǎi)?
Shenjiao and Jungui are both the names of fragrant trees, and Huihu and Zanzi are both the names of vanilla.
Regarding the translation of this sentence, I saw two versions. One is that Shenjiao refers to the fruit-laden peppercorns, and Jungui refers to the cinnamon tree that is as round as bamboo. Due to the purity of the "Three Queens", Therefore, "all the fragrances" will gather around to respond. There are not only Shenjiao and Jungui, but also Hui and Zha. But another way of saying it is completely the opposite. Shenjiao and Jungui are used as metaphors for villains, which means that likes Shenjiao and Jungui. How can a person who wears pepper and mushroom cinnamon look like a person who wears tadpole?
I personally think that the focus should be on the word "dimensional", and there are two versions.Wei - means to maintain, which is similar to the meaning of "lave" later, so it should be the second meaning; Wei - means only, only, then it should be the first meaning. But based on the previous article, I think the first explanation seems to be more consistent with the meaning of the text. Of course, everyone is welcome to discuss it together.
To be continued.
