Poster for the performance of the historical drama "Qu Yuan" On January 7, 1942, Guo Moruo created the historical drama "Qu Yuan". The play is set in the Warring States period, and describes the reasons why Qu, the doctor of the three Lu states, advocated political reform at home and united with the outside world to resist Qin. King Huai of Chu once trusted him. But the Empress of Nanhou colluded with Zhang Yi, the emissary of the State of Qin, to harm Qu Yuan by "the court of fornication". King Huai actually believed the slander and imprisoned Qu Yuan, and abolished the covenant between Qi and Chu, and relied on the strong Qin. Qu Yuan was full of worry and anger. At this time, the student Song Yu had sold himself to surrender to Nanhou, and the maid who followed the poet loyally would be executed by Nanhou. The court guards rescued Chun Juan and went to rescue Qu Yuan together, but Chun Juan accidentally drank the poisoned wine that wanted to kill Qu Yuan and died. The guards killed the accomplice who murdered Qu Yuan, burned the high hall, and after Qu Yuan wrote "Ode to Orange" to mourn Chun Juan, followed the poet to Hanbei and went to the people. The whole play is filled with fiery patriotic passion, and angrily condemned the traitors who persecuted loyal ministers and betrayed the country.
