Which river is Qu Yuantoujiang?
The story of Qu Yuan's surrender to the river is well-known in China, but the location of his surrender has been controversial throughout history. According to historical records and folklore, there are several versions of the location of Qu Yuan's throwing into the river, involving different rivers. This article will comb through these versions in detail to determine the true location of Qu Yuan's throwing into the river.
First of all, according to the records of the "Historical Records", the location of Qu Yuan's throwing into the river was the Miluo River. The Miluo River is a tributary of the Xiangjiang River in Miluo City, Hunan Province, and is famous for the story of Qu Yuan's throwing into the river. According to legend, Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the river here, and the local people deeply felt his patriotic feelings and rowed boats to rescue him. People also spontaneously threw rice balls, eggs and other foods into the river, hoping to feed the fish, insects, shrimps and crabs in the river, so that they would no longer bite Qu Yuan's body. Some people even poured realgar wine, hoping to stun the dragon water beast so that it would no longer hurt Qu Yuan.

This custom has continued to this day and has become an indispensable part of traditional Chinese culture.
However, some scholars believe that the site of Qu Yuan's throw into the river was not the Miluo River, but the Yangtze River. They believed that due to the geographical environment and historical background at that time, the Miluo River was not the best choice for Qu Yuan to throw himself into the river. In contrast, the Yangtze River is more suitable, because it is wider and deeper, and it is more able to realize Qu Yuan's determination to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. In addition, the Yangtze River basin is extensive, closely related to the region in which Qu Yuan operated, which is also in line with his grief and indignation.
In addition to the Miluo River and the Yangtze River, there are also some places that claim to be the sites of Qu Yuan's throwing into the river, such as Hanshui, Yuanshui, Xiangshui, etc. These places have their own claims and evidence, but none of them have been widely recognized and substantiated.
To sum up, the location of Qu Yuan's investment in the river is controversial, and the specific river still needs further research and **. Whether it is the Miluo River or the Yangtze River, we should respect historical facts and cultural traditions, and not easily deny or affirm a certain viewpoint. At the same time, we should also inherit and carry forward Qu Yuan's patriotic feelings and poetic spirit, so that they can take root in our hearts and become the driving force and support for our progress.
