Fisherman Qu Yuan
Qu Yuan, who was once released, swam in the river beach and sang on the bank of Zehe River, with a haggard color and a haggard description.
When the fisherman saw this, he asked, "This son is not Dr. San Lv's! Why? "
Qu Yuan said, "The world is cloudy, and I am alone. Everyone is drunk, I wake up alone, I can see. "
The fisherman said, "A saint is not obsessed with things, but can keep pace with the times. The world is muddy, why not spit its mud and make waves? Everyone is drunk, why not feed the bad ones? Why think deeply and hold high, and let yourself become? "
Qu yuan said: "I heard that the new bather plays the crown and the new bather shakes his clothes;" Ann can observe with her own body, but what about the person who collects things? I'd rather go to Xiangliu and be buried in the belly of a river fish. Ann can be white and covered with secular dust! "
The fisherman smiled and walked away with the drum, but he sang: "The water in the rough waves is clear, you can hold my tassel;" The water in the rough waves is turbid, so you can lick my feet. "Then go, no longer use words.
Translation:
After Qu Yuan was exiled, he wandered around the world, singing all the way by the lake, and his face was haggard. The fisherman (on the lake) saw it and asked, "Aren't you a doctor from San Lv? How did this happen? "
Qu yuan said: "the whole world is cloudy, and only I am innocent;" Everyone is drunk and I'm still awake. So I was exiled by the king. "
The fisherman said, "A truly wise saint will not stick to one thing, but can change accordingly with the flow of the world. Everyone in the world is a jerk. Why don't you make waves with them? Everyone is drunk. Why don't you eat and drink with them? Why do you want to go so far, above the mediocre world, and let yourself be exiled? "
Qu Yuan said, "I heard that people who have just washed their hair will shake off the dust on their hats, and people who have just taken a shower will shake off the dust on their clothes. How can you let your innocence be infected by the outside world? I'd rather throw Hunan water and bury it in the belly of fish in the river, but how can I cover the clean and bright pure white quality with secular dust? "
The fisherman smiled, paddled and left, singing: "The blue waves on the lake are clear, you can wash my hat tassels;" Blue waves are turbid and can wash feet. "Just keep singing, I didn't say anything to Qu Yuan.
Through the dialogue between Qu Yuan and fishermen after his exile, this paper shows Qu Yuan's noble qualities of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. Everyone is dirty, only I am clean; Everyone was drunk, and I was the only one awake. This is the reason for exile. This may sound strange. But when you think about it, this is really an eternal truth. Imagine that everyone is corrupt and intoxicated. How can you tolerate an honest and sober person? Rejected, exiled, accused of adultery. In just two sentences, the fatuity and decay of Chu state are summarized incisively and vividly; On the other hand, it shows Qu Yuan's loyal and noble Suiji.
The blue water is crystal clear, and you can lick my tassels; The turbid water in the rough waves can be used to drown my feet.
After Qu Yuan was exiled, in a conversation with the fisherman, the fisherman advised him to "keep pace with the times" instead of "looking ahead and looking back" and asking for trouble. Qu Yuan said that he would rather die by throwing himself into the river than exposing his innocent body to worldly dust. The fisherman left and sang the following songs: the water in the rough waves is clear, so I can wash my hat tassels; Turbid water in the rough waves can wash my feet. This still means "over time". In the eyes of fishermen, life need not be too lofty. The world is clean and honest, and you can come out as an official; The world is turbid and can rise and fall with the world. As for "thinking deeply and doing high", there is no need to end up in exile. The dialogue between Qu Yuan and the fisherman shows two philosophies of life.
