In China, Qu Yuan is a legendary poet who wears costumes with flowers and herbs all day long, living in a fantasy where myth and reality, past and present are blended.
Relying on the means of concealing the "defamation" in the text to highlight the "loyalty", concealing the "treason" to promote the "patriotism", the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty transformed the "myth of Qu Yuan" and made it an "ideology that consolidates their own". A legendary oriental "Narcissus" has been constructed as the "Qu Yuan Situation" with archetypal significance in the repeated historical context. When it was absorbed by the folk customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, it marked a new "prototype", which was generated in the collective unconscious of the Chinese people. And what this new "archetype" really points to is precisely the reality of each of us.
When people pay tribute to Qu Yuan, they are indeed paying tribute to themselves.
