Does Zheng Xiu like Qu Yuan? Is the rumor in two of a kind true?

There are two main views on the relationship between Zheng Xiu and Qu Yuan in history.

1, Zheng Xiu secretly loves Qu Yuan.

Zheng Xiu, the darling of Chu Huaiwang, has lived in the harem for many years and has little contact with other men. Qu Yuan is a polite and knowledgeable gentleman, much better than those so-called princes. Because Qu Yuan was an important official in Chu Huaiwang, Zheng Xiu often saw Qu Yuan, and as time went on, he developed feelings for Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan's death was also related to Zheng Xiu. Zheng Xiu secretly has feelings for Qu Yuan, but Qu Yuan has no feelings for her. Zheng Xiu couldn't get Qu Yuan's feelings, so she was born of love and hated, slandered by Chu Huaiwang, and finally Qu Yuan was exiled, and finally she chose to die of grief and indignation.

Another argument that few people support is that Zheng Xiu and Qu Yuan really love each other.

Qu Yuan is a gentleman with both talents and looks, and Zheng Xiu is also a beautiful young woman. When we meet more, we have feelings for each other. The best illustration of this view is Qu Yuan's work "Mrs. Xiang", and the title of "Mrs. Xiang" represents Chu State, and "Mrs." is his wife. Compared with all the women in the palace, only Chu Huaiwang's favorite princess, Zheng Xiu, meets the four characteristics of "Mrs. Xiang".

Anecdotal allusions about Qu Yuan

1, composer

Qu Yuan was born in the nobility of the State of Chu. Like the King of Chu, his surname was Mi, but the King of Chu was a bear. The surname comes from Zhu Rongshi, Zhuan Xu of the Yellow Emperor; The Mi clan group migrated from Shang Dynasty to Southern Chu, and when it reached Xiong Yi, it was sealed in Chu because of its merits and lived in Danyang (now Yichang, Hubei). This is Qu Yuan's hometown.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, about the 7th century BC, Xiong Tong's son was sealed in Qu, and later generations took Qu as their surname. Similar to Qu's family, Ruoao in the Spring and Autumn Period and Zhao Hejing in the Warring States Period.

Zhao, Qu and Jing are the three surnames of the royal family in Chu. The Qu family can last from the early Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Warring States Period, and has been at the top of Chu. This family can be described as enduring. Qu Yuan used to be a doctor in San Lv. It is said that he was in charge of royal affairs.

Because Qu Yuan was a family of the King of Chu, he was called "the public house" or "the public house" at that time, so his relationship with Chu was of course different. The descendants of Qu, such as Qu Zhong, Qu Wan, Qu Dao and Qu Jian, all held important positions in Chu State. In Qu Yuan's generation, not many people became high officials, only Qu Yuan and the general Qu _, who was later captured by the State of Qin. According to Qu Yuan's poem "Nine Chapters", it can be seen that this noble family had declined at that time.

2. Date of birth

According to many modern studies, Qu Yuan's date of birth was between 27 years (342 BC) and 30 years (339 BC) in Zhou Xianwang. According to Jiazi, that year should be Wuyin year. As it happens, Qu Yuan's birth is not only a cloudy year, but also a cloudy day in Yin Yue. According to the ancient saying of China calendar, "people are born in the shade", so Xia Zheng takes the month of establishing the shade (the first month) as the beginning of the year.

Since Qu Yuan was born in 1998, it really conforms to the date of birth of a person, so Qu Yuan said in Lisao: "She was taken to raise her virginity, and only Geng Yin and I came down." "Meng Wei shines on my virginity" means that the traditional star meets Yin, indicating that this year is Yin; Meng is the beginning, Wei is the first month, and the summer calendar begins with the month, which means that the first month of this year is; "Only Geng Yin surrendered with me" means that the day when Qu Yuan was born was Yin Ri.

Qu Yuan was born on a cloudy day in silver moon in the lunar year. According to the calculation of Zou and Liu according to the calendar, it was designated as the 2nd1day of the first month of the 26th year of the King (343 BC). Chen _ in Qing Dynasty was the 22nd day of the first month of the same year according to the weekly calendar. Academics generally define it as the 29th year of Zhou Xianwang (the first 340 years).

3. Qu Yuan was named.

Qu Yuan felt that his birth and death years were somewhat different, so he said in Li Sao: "Emperor Guan is full of joy, Zhao Qian's name is common, and the word is even." My father thought my birthday was extraordinary and gave me a good name, Ping and Yuan. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Yi explained the name of Qu Yuan in Chapters of Chu Ci, saying, "Righteousness is right; Then, the law is also ","spirit is also, and god is also; Uniform and adjustable.

There is no better way to speak than heaven, and people who lift their hands are indifferent to the earth. Therefore, the name "Pingtian" and the word "Tian". In line with his date of birth, literally speaking, "Ping" means justice, and fairness is a symbol of heaven; Yuan is a broad and flat terrain and a symbol of the earth. Qu Yuan's birth and death year and name conform to Yin's three systems of heaven, earth, ugliness and fate. This was considered a good omen at that time.

Sima Qian once said in Historical Records Biography of Qu Yuan: "Qu Yuan is as famous as Chu." Chu royal family is Xiong family, Xiong family is matriarchal family and Xiong family is paternal family. After Qu Yuan became a royal family, he became his home with Chu Huaiwang and Xiong Huai. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Wuwang made his son "Qu Xian" the leader of Quyi. Because Prince Qu Xian was an official in the DPRK, his work was excellent and he was allowed to enjoy the products of Quyi, so people called him "Qu Xian".

Thus, the king of Chu surnamed Xiong and became a branch of Xiong. In the pre-Qin period, there was a man who took his surname as his surname, so his name was Qu Yuan, not xiang yuan. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, this problem did not exist.
