He is both a poet and a politician. Qu Yuan was born in the nobility of the state of Chu. At first, he was trusted by King Huai of Chu. He advocated improving internal affairs and uniting Qi against Qin. However, Yin Zijiao, the order of King Huai of Chu, Jin Shang, a senior official, and Zheng Xiu, his favorite imperial concubine, were bribed by Zhang Yi, an envoy of the state of Qin, which not only prevented King Huai from accepting Qu Yuan’s opinions, but also slandered and alienated him.
