The legend of Qu Yuan (c. 340 – 278 BCE), the poet of tristia and itinera, and how the custom of zongzi eating and dragon boat racing on Duanwu have come to be associated with his sad tale.

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month—端午 Duanwu—we commemorate the death of the poet-minister Qu Yuan 屈原.

Exiled from the kingdom of Chu for his fierce opposition to Qin (which did indeed demolish all, in its imperial ambition), he drowned himself in the Miluo River.

Legend has it that fishing boats set out looking for the much-beloved Qu Yuan. When he could not be found, food was thrown into the river to prevent fish from consuming his corpse.

Hence Duanwu is also known as the Dragon Boat Festival & sticky rice packets (zongzi) are eaten.

'The Songs of Chu' 楚辭, attributed to Qu Yuan (but more likely by multiple authors) are densively allusive poetic laments dating from the 3rd c BCE collapse of the Chu kingdom.

To quote David Hawkes, Chuci 楚辭are the poetry of tristia and itineria —the laments of exile.

Qu Yuan's 'Songs of Chu' are the laments of one born to "an age foul and murky"

Sighs come from me often

the heart swells within

sad that I and these times

never will be matched.

As it is then, as it is now.

Another version:

Duanwu 端午 marks the beginning of summer heat and pestilence, and the in southern China and throughout southeast Asia it was an occasion to fumigate the household and eat restorative foods wrapped in naturally antiseptic leaves.

The legend of Qu Yuan - the loyal minister in exile, wandering the Southland - then, was a Han Confucian repackaging of local folk customs.

One stayed as low profile as possible to steer clear of all the miasmic, pestilential forces —hence the need for mugwort and spells...

「五月五日天中節一切惡事盡消滅 急急如律令」

FIFTH DAY OF FIFTH LUNAR MONTH: ALL THINGS WICKED AND PESTILENT TO BE VANQUISHED INSTANTLY WITH THIS SPELL

We could *really* do with such a 急急如律令 these days.

[Dunhuang fragment British library S.799]

i wanted to scribble out some notes about dragon boat for today, although this definitely looks at it from more a competiton perspective than a cultural one. ofc there's a lot more that could be said and most of this came from the top of my head so it's by no means comprehensive, but hopefully this coule be a little introduction at least haha.

happy duan wu!!

#db is what i have spent like 90% of my free time on for the past 7 years but i think this might be the last year i'll be able to do it ;v; #races at this time of year generally happen in the context of big festivals so maybe there's one near you :0 #dragon boat festival #dragon boat #duanwu jie

Forget gender reveal- who cares? (Ok I lie some people care and it does have potential to be entertaining) but AGE reveal??? Of course zyx knows that zyx is shaded with the perspective of a life already lived, but everyone else would only know zyx s phyisical age and lose their minds. we saw a bit of this when zyx went to visit the Jin but since it was kept downlow i feel like there is plenty more chance for a reveal and for everyone else to do a double take. Specially wwx with his image of zyx

gender reveal, blah blah, tired and played out, not into the spectacle of "yOu'Re A gIrL?!" and if/when reveal it has to be of utility (wanted to say "it has to make sense" but everyone's sense is different, judging from comments i had back in ch12-13)

age reveal would never not be funny, so correct

it's also not gonna be a spectacle, either; prob some aside or mention

and then whomever (wwx) is "ok ok ok, cool just a bit younger, so you were - wait." *math lady meme*

made even worse by zyx's refusal to acknowledge chinese age reckoning so whomever (wwx) thinks they're even younger

it's prob made even worse by zyx as well - can't say "yeah i was old enough" bc clearly not, but also can't "i know it's too young but i'm an ✨exception✨" bc they'd rather eat dirt than bring attention to that

#inquiry #anonymous #on dbd #i think outside of shuangfeng #jzx (both) + main lans (records) + wq are the only ones that know #it's not something you bring up in casual convo (besides the awkward first meeting w lwj lol) #and depending on region bday celebrations aren't done on the day; kinda lumped w the new year #which officially marks your new age #birthdate mainly for numerology purposes #and zyx's bday falling on duanwu means other things are happening and they gladly let that be #(also also they'd never brag about their age bc it's like being stuck at the kid table) #(only use age as get-out-of-jail card that once w bad jzx) #(so this means someone that already knows is gonna blab)

"How about adding some Jueyun Chili…" "No, no way. I can't eat this!" "Great, there're no carrots in it and it's stuffed with shrimp!" "Ah, with such a view like this, I can't help but want to write a poem…"

following in the tradition of, if not quite living up to the reputation of, farewell my concubine (1993), chen kaige’s temptress moon (1996) once again casts gong li and leslie cheung in an exploration of the shifting meaning and role of gender in a modernizing china. whereas the former film straddles the sino-japanese war, this film spans from the abdication of puyi to the 1920s. the narrative of this modernizing, westernizing, revolutionizing timespan, especially in the film’s setting of shanghai, is that in this period both women and servants, oppressed into total submission by the rigid tradition of the qing dynasty, gained class consciousness and power together—with women in particular taking control of their sexuality and playing a particularly central role in modernization and revolution, as depicted in daybreak (1933), the red detachment of women (1961), and two stage sisters (1964) among others. this film paints a different picture, however. christopher doyle’s lush and richly-toned cinematography takes the opposite approach as his later work on in the mood for love (2000), as well as zhao fei’s work on zhang yimou’s raise the red lantern (1991), both of which uses a static camera and heavy use of frames within frames to telegraph how boxed in the characters feel themselves to be in their world of tradition and regulation. the cinematography of this film is fluid and fast-moving, with close-up tracking shots conveying intimacy, forward movement, instability, and confusion (a confusion that echoes the confusion of chen kaige’s loose and difficult-to-follow plot, but i digress). the characters of this film, male and female, former servant and former daughter, feel themselves to be utterly free of the previous, violent, mentally and sexually exploitative class structure. and yet the violence of that system lingers like the protagonist ruyi’s opium addiction inflicted on her by her father during childhood; the only difference is that this violence has reformed entirely along the lines of gender, in the absence of class-based channels of violence. as nodded to in zhang yimou’s shanghai triad (1995), in the warlord-run, revolution-torn, war-bound nominal republic of china, the lowest-born man is considered more important than the highest-born woman. as this film goes to pains to show through the grooming to violence of both duanwu and zhongliang, this attitude is not a revolution against the oppressive class-based structure of the past, but merely a reframing of it, and the internal corruption and violence that destroyed the old dynasty are bound to destroy the new era. of course, the film does not give up these insights easily; despite its gorgeous visuals and sensitive acting, the story is not particularly well-composed, and it reads more as a series of loosely-connected vignettes than as the the last emperor (1987)-like epic tale chen kaige clearly wanted it to be. nonetheless, temptress moon (1996) has style, it has heart, and it has some interesting ideas within it, and at the end of the day i would recommend it
