Qu Yuan
qu Yuan (屈原) (340? -278? before J-C) is a Chinese writer. Poet of the kingdom of Chu 楚, he was secretary of king Huai, but its councils were not listened and, the king having been made prisoner by the kingdom of Qin, he was exiled by the following sovereign. He ends up committing suicide while throwing himself in the Rivière Milo after Qin overcame Chu into 278 before J-C. A certain number of its poems were preserved in the anthology the Chants of Chu (楚辭), in particular the Tristesse of separation (離騷) and the Last nine songs (九歌). The well-read men made a moral and patriotic poet of it, and the festival of the Double Five (5th day of the 5th lunar month) became the commemoration of its death. He was the creator in China of personal poetry, the author of the first long poem (above mentioned Li sao), and its work takes as a starting point the Chamanisme.
