Qu Yuan's famous sayings are as follows:
1. Take a long breath to cover your tears, mourning the hardships of people's lives.
I let out a long sigh and couldn't stop the tears from flowing down. I was lamenting how difficult the people's lives were! Obviously, we can find from here that although Qu Yuan was an aristocrat of the Chu State and a scholar-bureaucrat, he had in-depth contact with the working people during his exile. He was deeply aware of the people's painful situation. Therefore, there are often words in his poems. Poems about the country and the people.
2. I have good intentions, and even though I died nine times, I still have no regrets.
As long as it conforms to the beautiful ideal in my heart, I will not be depressed even if I die nine times. These two sentences express the poet's persistent pursuit of beautiful ideals. His ideal is to resist the invasion of Qin Dynasty, maintain the independence of Chu State, and implement clear politics.
3. Everyone has their own happiness in life, but I only take it as a matter of course to cultivate. Even though I understand you, I haven't changed yet, so I don't have the heart to punish you.
Ordinary people live a variety of pleasures, and I take it for granted that I love to cultivate myself alone. Even if I am dismembered, my thoughts will not change, so how can I frustrate my lofty ambitions?
4. The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.
The journey ahead is far and long, and I want to search for (the sun in my heart) everywhere in the world. It embodies the searching spirit of Qu Yuan, a romantic poet of the Qing Dynasty.
5. Drink the magnolias in the morning and the dew falls, and eat the autumn chrysanthemums in the evening.
Drink the dew dripping from magnolia flowers in the morning and chew the falling petals of autumn chrysanthemums in the evening. Drinking dew means that you are not tainted by the world, and it is an allusion to the phoenix's allusion that it will not drink unless it is dew, and it will not eat unless it is refined.
