A Research of the Text Presentation and Specific Connotation of Qu Yuan's Political Ideal in Chinese Poetry as Soul Summoning
Qu Yuan's detailed description of his political ideal that he has always upheld is rarely found in On Encoun-tering Sorrow,Tian Wen,and Mourning the Lost Capital,but is presented in Chinese Poetry as Soul Summoning.The soul summoning songs seemingly presented dangerous monsters on the outside and described lewdness on the inside,but Chinese Poetry as Soul Summoning is a far cry from The Court Hymn and The Eulogy,and is different from the clas-sics.In fact,Qu Yuan's portrayal of the famous local specialties in Chinese Poetry as Soul Summoning embodied his su-preme pursuit for a powerful country that matched the then-current situation of Chu and Qu Yuan's parentage,while the depiction of the feast scenes in the Chinese Poetry as Soul Summoning conveyed his fervent hope for harmony and happi-ness that is similar to the praise of the feasts in The Court Hymn.Making the country powerful and realizing peace and happiness are two internal and external pillars of Qu Yuan's political ideal.
