屈原（约前340—前278），名平，字原，又名正则，字灵均。战国时代楚国人。他主张选拔德才兼备的人出任官职，以实现富国强兵的理想。但朝中贵族竭力反对、毁谤和打击他。后来被长期流放沅江和湘江一带，最后绝望投江而死。屈原是中国最早的伟大诗人。他的诗作语言优美，想象丰富，对后世影响很大。代表作品有《离骚》等。
Qu Yuan (340? B.C. — 278 B.C.). His given name was Ping and his alternative name, Yuan. His another given name was Zhengze and his another alternative name, Lingjun. He was born in the Chu State of the Warring States (475 B.C. —221 B.C.). He insisted on choosing competent people with political integrity to be government officials so as to materialize his ideal of making his country both strong and prosperous. However, the noble men in the imperial court sought hard to oppose, slander and lash out at him. As a result, he was sent into exile in the deltas of the Yuan River and the Xiang River. In despair he finally drowned himself in the river. He is regarded as the greatest poet in the early period of ancient China. His poetry is of refined language and rich imagination, and has exerted a great influence on the late literary creation. His representative work is The Lament.
