Was Qiu Wang Burning Mountain a political movement
Qiu Wang Burning Mountain, also known as Chui Wang Shanzhai, is a famous poem written by Qu Yuan, one of the most influential poets in Chinese history. The poem is considered to be one of the most important works in Chinese literature and has had a profound impact on Chinese culture.
The poem tells the story of Qu Yuan's journey to Mount Tai, where he burns his own clothes and hair as an act of self-immolation. This act was seen as a symbol of his loyalty to his king and country, and it has been interpreted in many different ways over the years.
One interpretation of the poem is that it was written during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE), when China was divided into several small kingdoms that were constantly at war with each other. During this time, Qu Yuan served as an advisor to King Huai of Chu (ruling 328-299 BCE).
However, some scholars believe that the poem may have been written later than this period. They argue that certain phrases and allusions in the poem suggest that it may have been composed during or after the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE). This would mean that Qu Yuan lived much later than previously thought.
