QU YUAN..FATHER OF CHINESE POETRY!

There is also remembrance of ancient Chinese Poet Qu Yuan! In tribute to his memory 'Dragon Boat Festival' happened there!

He is known for his patriotic & classical poetry. In this, anthology of his poems 'Chu Ci' is famous. He also expressed the suffering of ordinary people through his metaphors!

Besides, he is regarded as one of the most prominent authors of romanticism in Chinese literature!

Just saw these famous lines from his poem 'Li Sao'...

"Long long had been my road and far far was the journey;

I would go up and down to seek my desire!"

He is called the 'Father of Chinese Poetry'!

Humble Homage!!
