The mystery of his origins

A chance discovery of the Three Gorges archaeology, why did Qu Yuan, an outstanding poet who was considered to represent the pinnacle of Chu culture in the past, have such a strong Ba color? Is he really a Chu person?

Lepingli's "Mystery of Origin"

Leping, Zigui County, Hubei Province, is the starting point of Qu Yuan's life.

Even if a large number of Ba cultural sites have been discovered in the western Hubei region, people have not doubted Qu Yuan's Chu identity in the slightest.

But in 1997, a Luoyang shovel broke the legend of Qu Yuan's life that lasted for 2,000 years.

In the archaeological excavations in Qu Yuan's hometown of Lepingli, archaeologists did not find the remains of the Chu culture in the Warring States period that they imagined. To the shock of archaeologists, almost all of what Lepingli exposed to the world were the remains of Ba culture.

The archaeological evidence in front of us collided with the historical perception.

A bold conjecture came to the minds of experts: Qu Yuan was not a Chu person, but a Ba person!

In this place that belonged to the territory of Chu during the Warring States Period, there are not many traces of Chu culture in the cultural relics of the Warring States period that have been cleaned up. These cultural relics are mainly bronzes, including a small amount of jade, glazed ware, etc. And these bronzes, whether from the shape or ornamentation, show a strong Ba cultural color!

Among the Warring States artifacts found in Lepingli, the weapons in the bronze are even more crucial, such as swords, spears, axes, axes, etc., which are significantly shorter than the length of the weapons of the Central Plains and Chu at that time. This is a distinctive feature of the weapons of the Ba people. Moreover, tiger stripes and other Ba people who are clearly visible on the weapons abound.

Experts have noticed that although a small number of Chu cultural relics have also been found here, it is difficult to see the wrong gold and wrong silver, which represent the typical techniques of Chu bronzes.

The Warring States tombs in the Chu region do not have the characteristics of Chu culture, but they show everywhere that this is a place where Ba culture prevails. What does this mean? A startling question arises.

Qu Yuan, who grew up in Leping, is he a Ba person?!

Sima Qian was mistaken?

Qu Yuan's life experience, the clearest record in history is "Historical Records: Qu Yuan's Biography of Jia Sheng": "Qu Yuan's name is Ping, and Chu Zhi has the same surname. ”

But it is precisely this sentence that makes experts puzzled.

If the record of "Historical Records" is incomprehensible, then Qu Yuan's autobiographical poem "Lisao" is even more confusing.

In "Lisao", he said: "The emperor is the first to be Xi, and Zhao Xiyu is famous: the name Yu is Zhengxi, and the word Yu is Lingjun." ”

Translated into the vernacular, it means "my family named me Zhengze according to the date of my birth, and took the word Lingjun." ”

Obviously, regularity and Lingjun, and Qu Yuan and Qu Ping, are two completely different name systems.

Why is there such a big difference between Qu Yuan's account and Sima Qian's account?

Is Sima Qian's record in "Historical Records" wrong, or is Qu Yuan's self-description in "Lisao" not credible?

Experts believe that with Sima Qian's rigorous attitude in writing the "Historical Records", it is unlikely that he will even be vague about the basic background of this character.

So, could it be that there is something wrong with the statement of "Lisao"?

Experts noticed that the names "Zheng" and "Lingjun" in "Lisao" are clearly and strongly colored by Ba culture, and the witchcraft atmosphere contained in them can be described as "rushing to the face".

This coincides with the large area of Ba culture relics found in Qu Yuan's hometown of Lepingli! The Ba people are an ethnic group known for their witch culture.

There is not enough basis for questioning Sima Qian's account, and the self-description of "Lisao" shows obvious plausibility, where is the correct solution to the mystery of Qu Yuan's life experience?

The secret of the "chorus of thousands".

The contradictions recorded in the literature prove that the doubts about Qu Yuan's life experience are not groundless.

Song Yu once said in a conversation with the King of Chu: "There was a guest from other places who sang in the bustling downtown of Yingdu, and at the beginning he sang "Xiali" and "Ba Ren", and then thousands of people sang along with him; and then he sang "Yang A" and "Xulu", followed by hundreds of people singing, and when he sang "Yang Chun" and "White Snow", there were only a few dozen people who sang along with the chorus. ”

There is no doubt that "Xiali" and "Ba Ren" are both popular Ba folk songs in the Warring States Period. Thousands of people sang Ba songs in the capital of Chu State, who are these people?

When the state of Chu entered the Warring States period, its western territory has included many places in the vast southwest region such as western Hubei, eastern Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and Qu Yuan's birthplace, Lepingli, Zigui County, is located at the junction of eastern Sichuan and western Hubei.

Experts believe that at that time, many Pakistani lands were constantly being encroached upon by the Chu State, and the border between the two countries actually formed a state of dog-tooth intertwining. And this kind of interweaving on the map has had a profound impact on the integration of Ba and Chu cultures.

Guan Weiliang, a professor at Chongqing Normal University: At that time, although the Chu State had occupied most of the territory of the Ba State, there were still Ba people living there, so there was a popular "popular song" that was deeply loved by the public, Ba Ge, which was popular in Chu.

Therefore, Qu Yuan was deeply influenced by both Bachu cultures, and this argument can be established.

In Qu Yuan's earth-shattering poems about ghosts and gods, this can also be finally proved.

The secret of Qu Yuan's life experience gradually revealed clues.

A wizard from the Spirit Mountain

Qu Yuan has such obvious traces of Pakistani culture on his body. Does this imply a certain identity of Qu Yuan?

Back to the self-description of "Lisao".

Wang Hongqi, chief scholar of Beijing Shanhai Cultural Planning Garden: Qu Yuan was born in a hereditary wizard family of the Ba people in Chudi, and he himself is also a great wizard of the Ba people.

The "regularity" and "Lingjun" mentioned in "Lisao" are the names of wizards.

In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there is a record of "Ten Witches of Lingshan". Ancient Chinese research has confirmed that the words "Ling" and "Wu" are interchangeable, and "Lingshan" is Wushan, that is, the center of the Upper Cuban people's residence. Regularity and spirit are both wizard names.

This can explain the meaning of "regularity and spiritual balance" in Qu Yuan's self-statement.

And the "Historical Records" "Qu Yuan's name, the name is flat, and Chu Zhi has the same surname", which should be interpreted as the surname, first name, and character given by the king of Chu. "Qu" is one of the three major aristocratic surnames (Qu, Jing, and Zhao) in the Chu State, and these three surnames all originate from the Chu royal family.

"Outsiders" in the political arena of Chu State

Is this generation of writers who have influenced Chinese literature with the passion of genius for more than 2,000 years really a Ba person? If the speculation that Qu Yuan is a Ba man is true, another eternal mystery may be solved -- Qu Yuan's political failure.

The Mystery of Chu Ci

There are many signs hinting at Qu Yuan's shadow of the Ba people. What kind of culture does the fantastic characteristics of Chu Ci originate from? Now we know that the mysterious Xiajiang River is destined to water this splendid literary wonder.

"Chu Ci" set up a banner for Chinese romantic literature. This kind of romantic poetry with a person's suffering as the soul had no precedent before the birth of "Chu Ci".

The sudden emergence of a highly developed poetic genre on the land of China has cast a question mark in the field of cultural studies. Where did the brilliant dreamy colors in Qu Yuan's poems draw nourishment?

Experts have found that the culture that can provide such nourishment for Qu Yuan's poetry is the Ba culture!

Guan Weiliang, a professor at Chongqing Normal University, said: "Before Qu Yuan, the only ethnic groups we know about the Xiajiang region that could be called "powerful" were the Ba and Chu people. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people were only a small country.

Qu Yuan produced such a high level of literary achievement as "Chu Ci", and he must have learned something. In the Xiajiang region, only the Ba culture achieved a high degree of development far before the Chu culture. The Ba Ge and myths and legends that spread here have become the source of inspiration for Qu Yuan's creation.

"Chu Ci" not only absorbed a large amount of Chu culture and even Central Plains culture after Qu Yuan was placed in the political stage of Chu State, but also more profoundly retained the source of Ba culture.

Dong Yunting, a professor at Chongqing Normal University who worked with Guan Weiliang, said: The witch culture in "Chu Ci" is a very important element. It is incomprehensible to say that Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci" is not influenced by the culture of the Ba people.

Qu Yuan's Ba life experience gradually emerged. But that's not enough, we have to go back to reality.

Hidden evidence

The Ba cultural elements in "Chu Ci" are not only hidden in ancient mythology, but also hidden in the life of the present world.

In Qu Yuan's poems, there are often ornate phrases that summon the gods to serve him, and in works such as "The Conjuring", the male and female genders of the protagonists are often changed.

Experts believe that these figures of speech, which are difficult for ordinary people to understand, can be reasonably explained if they are placed in the identity of a wizard.

In the Qianjiang and Youyang areas of Chongqing, among the modern Tujia people, who are regarded as descendants of the Ba people, there are still "Tulaosi" (another name for shamans) who use this method of changing roles when doing this.

Xiong Du, a professor at Chongqing Technology and Business University, said that this is exactly the secret combination between "Chu Ci" and modern Ba culture.

Now in Wushan, Wuxi and other places, the "Tu Lao Si" must wear a long-sleeved robe, wear a specific headband, and hold a staff and a knife when he is mourning. Such customs, in the eyes of cultural scholars, are very consistent with the image of Qu Yuan in "Chu Ci".

In "Shijiang", Qu Yuan described himself wearing a high crown, a long-sleeved robe, and a long sword at his waist. Tu Laosi's robe, headband, staff, and knife correspond to Qu Yuan's robe, high crown, and long sword. And the funeral dance movements of the modern "Tu Lao Si" are also clearly expressed in Qu Yuan's "The Conjuring".

Is all this just a coincidence?

Zhang Zhengming, a professor at Central China Normal University, revealed in his research that some Tujia people in western Hubei still sing fragments of Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs" on some festivals.

Why do the Tujia people sing the "Nine Songs"? Could it be that their sacrificial ballads have some kind of mysterious connection with the "Nine Songs" that transcends time and space? Or are the Tujia people commemorating Qu Yuan? In the ancient customs of the Tujia people, we seem to be able to see a certain connection between their ancestors and Qu Yuan.

The mystery of the cause of death

When archaeology collides with the traditional conclusion of Qu Yuan's life history, the real cause of Qu Yuan's death has also become a new mystery in a series of questions. Unexpectedly, this once again allowed us to see the shadow of the Ba people on Qu Yuan.

Death Truth

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, we have to retell that specious legend - Qu Yuan "threw himself into the Miluo River and sank", but this legend has also been questioned.

The first is the cause of death.

Did Qu Yuan really die by throwing himself into the river? New theories emerged one after another. Wang Hongqi, a scholar in Beijing, believes that Qu Yuan did not die by throwing himself into the river, nor did he die of political murder, but died of natural causes, and the coffin of the Ba people was Qu Yuan's final destination.

The misunderstood coffin of the ship

Wang Hongqi analyzed that the legend of Qu Yuan's suicide by throwing himself into the river actually hints at the burial method Qu Yuan chose. Water burial in a boat coffin is one of the main burial customs in the life of the Ba people.

The Miluo River is located in the eastern part of Hunan Province, and the local people did not know anything about the water burial of the Ba people's boat coffins, so the local people saw the boat coffin burial used by Qu Yuan after his death, and in thousands of years of word of mouth, it was finally misreported that Qu Yuan died by sinking into the Miluo River.

And this conclusion makes the connection between Qu Yuan and the Ba people more clear and discernible.

――Summary――

More and more scholars are converging on this understanding that Qu Yuan is a Ba person. However, the strong elements of Ba culture did follow the shadows and entangled Qu Yuan's legendary life.

It doesn't matter whether Qu Yuan is really a Ba sorcerer or not, the important thing is that we now see a great soul conceived by the two cultures of Bachu more than 2,000 years ago, a plump, true and complete giant. This is the truth of history.
