Qu Yuan (about 339 BC ~ about 278 BC) was born in the state of Chu. Born in Lepingli, San Lv Township, Zigui in 340 BC. Qu Yuan was studious and ambitious since childhood. At the age of 26, he became a left-handed man and a good doctor in Chu. At first, he looked like Qu Yuan.

Trusted by Chu Huaiwang, he was a senior official of the left. He advocated appointing sages, improving internal affairs, and uniting the state of Qin. However, Chu Huaiwang's Lingyin Zijiao, Shangguan Doctor, Shanxi Merchants and his favorite concubine Zheng Xiu were all bought by Zhang Yi, the envoy of Qin State, which not only made Wang Huai unable to accept Qu Yuan's opinion, but also alienated him. As a result, Chu Huaiwang was lured to death by the State of Qin. After Xiang Wang ascended the throne, Qu Yuan continued to be persecuted and exiled to Jiangnan. In 278 BC, the general of the State of Qin led an army south to attack the capital of Chu. Qu Yuan's political thoughts were shattered and he was desperate for the future. Although he wanted to serve his country, he was unable to return to heaven, so he had to drown himself in the Miluo River on May 5th of the same year. ?
