Everything about Ngoc Minh totally explained
Ngoc Minh (
252 BC–
19 October?
218 BC) was a
Chinese Qin Dynasty poet, well known for the poem "Islands of the Immortals" (的海島), on the reputedly existing islands, which were said to give
eternal life. He is also known for his subtle criticism of Emperor
Qin Shi Huang, in parts of his poetry, due to his pro-
feudalism outlook (Something Qin Shi Huang abolished) .
Ngoc Minh's work caught the attention of some of the Emperor's aides and he was accused of
treason in early October of 218 BC and
hung. The exact date of
execution is unknown, but thought to be on October 19th
218 BC in
Xianyang.
Ironically, Qin Shi Huang died on a search for the place the
Islands of the Immortals, of which Ngoc Minh had spoke of in prose, on the basis of
heresay in local
folklore.
Some of Ngoc Minh's poems have caught the attention of
Vietnamese scholars.
