今天是我们端午系列阅读活动的第一天,我们的第一个端午故事是:
Chu Yuan [Qu Yuan ] (340-278 b.c.), the chief poet in the Songs of Chu, was a member of the ruling house, a stateman and diplomat. In his youth, he has a brilliant official career and was made a court minister and at one time the Chu envoy to Chi (in Shantung), a great neiboring state. But Chu Yuans comet-like success incurred the jealousy of his fellow ministers, who slandered and intrigued against him. In consequence Chu Yuan lost the kings favor and was dismissed from office. There were several ups and downs in his career - for after each banishment he was recalled to court, only to be again rebuffed and disgraced. In the meantime, his country was in danger. Failing to heed Chu Yuans advice, the king of Chu foolishly went to a conference with the king of Chin (in Shensi), the most powerful military state in that period; he was held there by the Chin army and died in captivity. His son, the new king, instead of avenging his fathers death, made a humiliating peace with his enemy. This, however, did not deter Chins aggressive designs against Chu, and Chu Yuan, who had started his exile as a result of his political failure, lived long enough to see the capital of his state plundered and ruined by the conquering army of Chin in 278 b.c. At that time, Chu Yuan was already an old man of over sixty, and the fall of the Chu capital was the last blow to his patriotic hope. He does not seem to have long survived his diaster, for the next we hear of him is that he had drowned himself in the river Mi-lo.
As the first known great poet in China, Chu Yuan has been called the father of Chinese poetry and has become,in the opinion of some, a national culture hero. 大家可以尝试翻译划红线的句子[s:7] 有奖励的哦~

屈原,(约公元前340年~约前278年),汉族,芈姓屈氏,名平,字原;又自云名正则,字灵均。中国战国末期楚国丹阳人,楚武王熊通之子屈瑕的后代。 中文概述:
屈原是中国最伟大的浪漫主义诗人之一,也是我国已知最早的著名诗人和伟大的政治家。
屈原早年受楚怀王信任,任左徒、三闾大夫,常与怀王商议国事,参与法律的制定,主张彰明法度,举贤任能,改革政治,联齐抗秦。同时主持外交事务。主张楚国与齐国联合,共同抗衡秦国。在屈原努力下,楚国国力有所增强。但由于自身性格耿直加之他人谗言与排挤,屈原逐渐被楚怀王疏远。前305年,屈原反对楚怀王与秦国订立黄棘之盟,但是楚国还是彻底投入了秦的怀抱。使得屈原亦被楚怀王逐出郢都,流落到汉北。屈原被逐出郢都,流放期间,屈原感到心中郁闷,开始文学创作,在作品中洋溢着对楚地楚风的眷恋和为民报国的热情。其作品文字华丽,想象奇特,比喻新奇,内涵深刻,成为中国文学的起源之一。前278年,秦国大将白起挥兵南下,攻破了郢都,屈原在绝望和悲愤之下怀大石投汨罗江而死。传说当地百姓投下粽子喂鱼以此防止屈原遗体被鱼所食,后来逐渐形成一种仪式。以后每年的农历五月初五为端午节,人们吃粽子,划龙舟以纪念这位伟大的爱国诗人。1953年是屈原逝世2230周年,世界和平理事会通过决议确定屈原为当年纪念的世界四位文化名人之一。 (文章源自iciba)
