Where, however, there was no admittance for him; and full of sorrow he returned to earth. * Chinese Literature, by Dr. H. A. Giles. What is said about the Li Sao here comes from that work except the suggestions as to its inner meaning. On the banks of the Mi-lo a fisherman met him, and asked him the cause of his trouble. "All the world is foul," answered Ch'u Yuan, "and I alone am clean."
"The man of Tao," said the fisherman of the Mi-lo to Ch'u Yuan, "does not quarrel with his surroundings, but adapts himself to them"; and perhaps there you have the best possible explanation of the nature of those Great souls who come from time to time to save the world.
Hsüan Chuang's queer trio of converts at first caused great amusement among the crowds who thronged to see them, but when they learned of Sun's superhuman achievements, and his brave defence of the Master, their amusement was changed into wondering admiration. But the greatest honours were conferred upon the travellers at a meeting of the Immortals presided over by Mi-lo Fo, the Coming Buddha.
"If that is so," said the fisherman, "why not plunge into the current, and make its foulness clean with the infection of your purity? The Man of Tao does not quarrel with his surroundings, but adjusts himself to them." Ch'u Yuan took the hint: leaped into the Mi-lo; and yearly since then they have held the Dragon-boat Festival on the waters of Middle China to commemorate the search for his body.
