Before Qu Yuan died, he recalled the glorious years at the beginning, worked hard, was determined to innovate, and strictly enforced the law, so that the politics of Chu State were refreshed, but soon the ** people were framed and lost the trust of the ruler Chu Huai, and then King Chu Huai did not repent, but degraded Qu Yuan and exiled. After King Chu Qingxiang succeeded to the throne, he exiled Qu Yuan even further. Qu Yuan witnessed the country in the hands of the faint monarch and the villain, the policy swayed, the land was swallowed by the Qin state little by little, and the people were displaced, but he was powerless, and often had the heart to sink into the river. In the end, I saw that the capital of Chu was destroyed, the subjects moved east, and the pillar in my heart finally collapsed. Recalling the past years, I painfully wrote this "Cherish the Past":
I remember the past, I was trusted and ordered by the king to make politics clear.
I serve the merits of my ancestors, follow the people, strictly enforce the law, and eliminate doubts about right and wrong.
In this way, the country is rich and strong, the law is clear, and the monarch appoints loyal ministers, so that you can travel and self-cultivation.
I am dedicated to the country, and even if I make occasional mistakes, I will not be charged.
Even though I have a sincere heart, I have never slackened, but I have also been slandered by traitors.
The monarch is angry with his ministers, and does not clarify the right and wrong.
The traitor covers the eyes and ears of the monarch, and the black and white are reversed, and the heart is deceived and deceitful.
The monarch did not carefully investigate and examine, so he degraded and expelled his ministers.
The monarch listens to the slanderers who confuse right and wrong, and rebukes me with arrogance.
Why are loyal ministers not guilty, but slandered, blamed and complained?
Ashamed of the bright sun and moon, I still escape to hide myself.
Linyuan Xiangshui abyss, I want to sink the river with a heartbeat.
Thus I am dead and disgraced, but I deplore the sovereign's blindness.
The monarch has no law and cannot perceive it, so that the grass is buried in the swamp
**Can you still pour out your true trust?I want to die quietly and not survive.
It is only because of the obstacles that they are covered and hidden, so that the loyal ministers are at a loss.
It is said that Baili Xi was once a prisoner, and Yi Yin used to cook in the kitchen.
Jiang Ziya worked as a butcher in Chaoge City, and Ning Qi sang while feeding the cattle.
These people, if they don't meet Tang, Wu, Qi Huan, Qin Mu and other Ming monarchs, who in the world knows their names?
Wu Wangfu was gullible and could not distinguish between slanderous words, and after forcing Wu Zixu to death, sorrow came.
Jie Zi pushed his loyalty and was burned dry, and the Duke of Jin Wen only begged for his body after he realized it.
Seal Jieshan for him and repay him for his kindness.
Thinking of my old relatives and friends, I put on a white mourning dress and cried incessantly.
Some of them died of faithfulness, and some of them succeeded by deceit.
The monarch does not examine and seek the truth, but only listens to the voice of slander and falsehood
The aroma and fishy smell are mixed, who wants to stay up all night to identify?
Why the grass withered early is a warning of the first frost
It must be the sovereign's ignorance and blindness, so that the slanderers will succeed more and more.
Since ancient times, those who have been jealous of the virtuous and jealous have said that the grass should not be admired.
They are jealous of the fragrance of the beauties, and the ugly mother-in-law is conceited and charming:
Although others have the beauty of Xi Shi, they still slander and replace it.
I'm willing to plead and confess, but I don't want to be convicted.
My true feelings and grievances are revealed, like the stars in the sky.
Galloping on a horse, self-controlled without reins
Swim down on a raft, without oars and on your own
Going against the law and governing the country by selfishness is no different from this.
I'd rather die a long time than see disaster bring disaster to the people of the country again.
I was about to run to the abyss before I finished speaking, but I regretted that the faint king did not know my heart.
When we look at history, we see many such loyal and righteous men sighing at their deaths and angry with their kings.
But, actually, think about it, from the point of view of the monarch,The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, all of them looked like dogs, and the things to be dealt with were anxious, who could distinguish the loyal and traitorous so easily. And how does the monarch know that he has been deceived by someone else, and not by you?
Are you a traitor, or are you a loyal minister?
It's often evaluated by later generations, right?
The big waves wash the sand, and the sand begins to see gold. During this period, it can be a long period of loneliness or even misunderstanding
