In the history of China, who are the literati and celebrities who died for honesty like Wen Tianxiang?

Everyone knows that the patriotic poet Qu Yuan died in the Miluo River, and today's Dragon Boat Festival is also a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, so everyone should know why Qu Yuan died.

As an aristocrat of Chu, Qu Yuan was not accepted by the rulers and was always frustrated. He was also exiled repeatedly for various reasons, unable to realize his political ambitions.

Later, in the Qin Chu War, King Xiang of Chu fled with the ruling nobles after he captured Yun Du Tian Lei. Qu Yuan was desperate to the extreme, feeling that the country was hopeless and he could save nothing. In this extremely miserable and depressed situation, Qu Yuan mourned for the country and the people, and finally died in the Miluo River.

It is precisely because Qu Yuan made such a start that later scholars with solar terms like to take death as a martyr.

Another is Xiang Yu.

Why did Xiang Yu commit suicide by the Wujiang River? Everyone may know this truth, because he felt that he had failed in the struggle and was ashamed to meet his elders in Jiangdong, so he would rather die.

You know, there are many heroes in Jiangdong. If Xiang Yu returns to Jiangdong, there will be no chance to make a comeback. Moreover, if Xiang Yu crosses the Wujiang River, is there any chance to make a comeback? Will history be rewritten?

We have always had this question, which shows that we recognize Xiang Yu's ability and think that if he crosses the Wujiang River, maybe he can make a comeback and defeat Liu Bang.

He doesn't even know?

He is not surprised, he just won't, because he thinks losing is losing. How can he have the face to meet the elders in Jiangdong? So I'd rather die. Perhaps in our view, he is just a man who lives a proud life and suffers death.
