Qu Yuan (Ch'u Yuan), a diplomat of Xu, falls from the king's favor due to his opposition to the prevalent policy of compromise to the powerful state of Qin (Ch'in).
Banished, he writes an imaginative long poem, Encountering Sorrow (Lisao), which also shows the depth of his loyalty to the state.
The distinguished poet drowns himself in despair in 278.
