In the thirty-fifth year of Zhou Nanwang (the first 280 years), in the nineteenth year of Chu and Han Dynasties, Qin General Sima Cuo attacked Chu, and Chu ceded Shang Yong and Hanbei; In the second year, he attacked Chu and took evil spirits, Deng and Xiling.

In the thirty-seventh year of Zhou Nanwang (the first 278 years), Du Ying was captured by Tian Lei, and King Xiang of Chu had to flee with the ruling aristocrat "Chen Cheng of Yu Bao (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province)". In a state of extreme depression and complete despair, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This year was probably the twenty-first year of King Xiang of Chu Qing (278 BC), and Qu Yuan was about sixty-two.

Literary achievements:

Qu Yuan's works are closely related to myths, and many illusory contents are inherited and developed from myths. Qu Yuan is also a poet who pays attention to reality. His works reflect various contradictions in the real society, especially the dark politics of Chu.

The style of Qu Yuan's works is obviously different from the Book of Songs, which is related to the different folk customs in the Yangtze River basin and the Yellow River basin. At that time, the north had entered the patriarchal society, and Chu still had the legacy of clan society, which was tough and lively, and was not bound by etiquette. Therefore, the expression of love between men and women and patriotism is so straightforward, and the materials used are so rich that everything can run to the bottom of the pen.

Write about the love between man and God, crazy people, ancient historical legends, and traveling with ghosts and gods. All gods have ordinary human nature among the people, and God is just a person beyond ordinary people. They make their works look bright, full of emotion and unrestrained.
