In 1927, Mr. Lu Xun made a speech, which mentioned the word "Wei and Jin demeanor", and he felt that many people in later generations learned Xi drinking, empty talk, and taking drugs in the Wei and Jin dynasties."True celebrities, self-style", this is the real Wei and Jin demeanor.
In "Six Tales of Floating Life", Yun Niang likes the poet fairy Li Bai, but she said that Taibai's articles cannot be learned. On the contrary, the poetry of the poet saint Du Fu is heavy, and the rhythm is unparalleled, but Du Fu can learn, while Li Bai cannot learn. The reason is that although Du Fu's poems are good, there are still traces to follow, and Li Bai's poems are chic and elegant, but it is Li Bai's temperament that is so uninhibited that he has the poetry of an immortal, and writes the words of the first birth of heaven and earth.
The demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties is also unlearnable.
For those literati in the Wei and Jin dynasties, demeanor was more important than life. What is the demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties?Yi Zhongtian, who used to be in the Hundred Schools' Forum, said: Wei and Jin demeanor is to live a real and beautiful life.
Therefore, the demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties can be learned, but not learned. Why can't you learn it?Just because it was the bearing that many literati in the Wei and Jin dynasties exuded from their bones.
Zhong Hui, the son of the great calligrapher Zhong Xuan, is talented and talented, but for Ji Kang, Zhong Hui seems to be very afraid and awe-inspiring.
He wanted to show Ji Kang this book, but he didn't even dare to go to see Ji Kang himself, he stood outside the wall of Ji Kang's house, hesitantly threw the "Four Treatises" into the courtyard of Ji Kang's house, and then turned around and ran, as if he had done something unseemly.
Later, Zhong Hui was reused by Sima Zhao, and he felt that he had the confidence to go to see Ji Kang.
On that occasion, he invited many famous people at that time to accompany him to see Ji Kang, in order to strengthen his confidence, a group of them, neatly dressed, riding horses that should be riding, and sedan chairs that should be sedan chairs, walked towards Ji Kang's house in a majestic manner.
When I arrived at Ji Kang's house, under the big tree in front of Ji Kang's house, two people were sweating profusely to strike iron, one was pulling bellows, and the other was wrought iron
Which one is Mr. Ji, Zhong is about to go on an expedition with Sima Dadu, passing by here, I came to visit.But neither of the two agreed to him, it was still the bellows that should be pulled, and the iron that should be struck made a banging sound.
The person who was wielding the hammer was Ji Kang, and the person pulling the bellows was Xiang Xiu, they were the two of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and the other five were Ruan Ji, Liu Ling, Ruan Xian, Shan Tao, and Wang Rong.
One of Zhong Hui's subordinates, holding his head high, saw that the two people on the other side ignored him, and was about to draw his sword to question Ji Kang, but he was immediately stopped by Zhong Hui, he was not understood, he had no face, and if he let his entourage do this again, he would lose his demeanor.
After being silent for a while, Zhong Hui was bored, and seeing that neither of the two paid attention to him, he turned around and left.
However, as he was about to leave, a deep voice came:
What you hear and what you see?The owner of that voice is none other than Ji Kang. Ji Kang is about 1.9 meters tall and looks very handsome and chic. The literati of the Wei and Jin dynasties liked to judge people by their appearance, and all literati were very concerned about their appearance, so at that time people said that Ji Kang stood like a lone pine and was independent, and lay like a jade mountain about to collapse.
Zhong Hui replied: Come by hearing what you hear, and go by seeing what you see.After speaking, he turned his head and left, Ji Kang did not speak, but continued to strike iron.
It's a pity that this conversation laid the bane for Ji Kang's death, and his days like this didn't last long.
Zhong Hui hated Ji Kang in his heart and wanted to put him to death.
Coincidentally, Ji Kang's friend Lu An had an accident, Lu An's wife was a beauty, white and beautiful, and Lu An's brother Lu Xun saw the lust and designed to rape his younger brother's wife.
Lu An had a bitter word, and he didn't want his family to be ugly, so he planned to swallow his anger, but Lu Xun sued the wicked first, and he accused his younger brother of being unfilial.
Ji Kang is a contemporary celebrity, and his talent and character are all models at that time, and when he heard about Lu An's affairs, he stepped forward, spoke up, and wrote a letter of "Breaking Friendship with Lu Changyi", and the object of breaking off friendship was Lu Xun.Before this, Ji Kang also wrote a letter of renunciation to his friend Shantao, "Breaking Friendship with Shan Juyuan", the reason is that Shantao was reused, promoted and made a fortune, and wanted to recommend Ji Kang to take over his position.
In fact, Ji Kang did not really break off his friendship with Shantao, his letter was written to the Sima family, the ruler at that time, and he wanted to tell the Sima family, I will never have anything to do with your Sima family, let alone do things for you as an official.
Ji Kang's move made the Sima family uncomfortable. What's more, Ji Kang stated the reasons why he was unwilling to be an official in the letter, and he wrote seven articles in a free manner:
Lie happy to get up late, and when Guan is not called, it is unbearable.Probably that is: I like to sleep lazy, I can't get up in the morning, someone follows me wherever I go as an official, it's not fun, I have a lot of lice on my body, it's not good to catch lice when I wear an official uniform, and I don't like to write official documents, I don't like to deal with affairs, I don't like to attend weddings and memorial services, I don't like to work with laypeople, and I don't want to spend more brains. These reasons add up, in fact, to tell Sima Zhao, I don't want to do things for you, there are many reasons.Holding the piano and chanting, fishing in the grass and fields, and the officials guarding it, they must not act rashly, and they are unbearable.
Sitting in danger for a while, paralysis can not be shaken, sex complex lice, scratching endlessly, and when wrapped in a chapter uniform, bow to the official, three unbearable.
It is not convenient to write, and I don't like to write books, and there are many things in the world, and there are many cases in the world, and there are many opportunities to pay each other, so I am guilty of teaching and hurting righteousness, and I want to force myself, so I can't last long, and I can't bear it.
I don't like mourning, and humanity is important to this, and I have been complained by those who have not seen forgiveness, and I want to see those who are slandered;Although he blames himself, he can't be turned into a person, and if he wants to be obedient, he is ruthless, and he can't get blameless and honorable.
I don't like the laity, but when I work with them, or the guests sit in full, the sound is deafening, the noise is dusty, and there are a lot of tricks, and in front of people, six unbearable.
The heart is impatient, and the official affairs are in the palm of the hand, the machine is entangled in his heart, the world is troubled, and he is unbearable.
Sima Zhao was furious at the time. This time, because of Lu An's matter, Zhong Hui found an opportunity to take revenge on Ji Kang. He said to Sima Zhao: People like Ji Kang are like sleeping dragons in the world, if they can't be used for themselves, it's best to kill them.
As a result, Ji Kang and Lu An were arrested and put in prison. Both were killed. Ji Kang was killed on the grounds that he spread bad speech, just as Socrates was executed in ancient Greece.
On the day he went to the execution ground, Ji Kang looked at the sky, and there was still some time before the execution, so he asked someone to get the piano and played the song "Guangling San" unhurriedly.
After playing, he said, "Someone wanted to learn this piece from me, but I didn't teach him, and this piece is no longer available."
Guanglingsan later appeared in Mr. Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I remember Li Yapeng's version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Ling Hu Chong and Miss Ren Zhulin ensemble, and the ensemble was "Guangling San".
After speaking, Ji Kang calmly went to his death, and his face did not change.
That year, Ji Kang was 40 years old.
After Ji Kang's death, many people all over the world felt sorry for him, sorry for his talent, and shocked by his integrity.
This is the demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties, returning to freedom, advocating oneself, living beautifully, and even dying is beautiful. Some researchers say that during the Wei and Jin dynasties, literati really looked like people, and they lived out their respect for themselves. For the sake of freedom, what is the pity of dying?
This is Ji Kang's Wei and Jin demeanor.
Like Ji Kang, Ruan, who is also the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, is addicted to alcohol, and he has spent almost his whole life in the wine jar. At the peak, in order to avoid Sima Zhao, Ruan Ji was drunk for two months in a row and did not wake up every day.
Ruan is a good wine, and the literati of the Wei and Jin dynasties seem to be indispensable to wine, and there must be some wine for bamboo forest gatherings.
In addition to good wine, Ruan Ji also likes to howl, it is rumored that Ruan Ji once climbed Mount Sumen to ask the hermit Sun Deng for advice, but no matter what he asked, Sun Deng did not answer.
There was no way, Ruan Ji had to retreat with a long howl, but when he went down to the middle of the mountain, he suddenly heard a long howl from the top of the mountain, Ruan Ji stopped and listened with reverence, and waited until the long howl stopped, and then went down the mountain.
After returning home, he wrote "The Biography of Mr. Adult".
Compared with Changxiao, wine is Ruan's life.
In order to drink, he applied for an official position from Sima Zhao to be an infantry captain, the reason is that the wine in the infantry captain's office is particularly good, Sima Zhao usually wants Ruan Ji to be an official, he doesn't come, but now he takes the initiative to ask for Ying, naturally he is very happy, and he agrees very happily, so Ruan Ji is also known as the soft infantry.
But Ruan Ji was also very human, and when he had drunk enough wine from the infantry officer's office, he left.
If Ruan Ji is crazy about alcohol, it is reasonable, but there is someone who is more obsessed with alcohol than him, and that is Liu Ling.
When Liu Ling goes out, he often asks a servant to follow him with a hoe, you think he is letting people go to farming, no, he said to the servant: You follow me, I am drunk to death in **, you just bury me in **. Later, the lyricist Xin Qiji said: Why not bury yourself when you are drunk.
Moreover, Liu Ling suffered from alcohol disease and was very thirsty, so she begged his wife for wine, and his wife poured out the wine, destroyed all the things that contained the wine, and said: You drank too much, this is not a way to maintain your body. Be sure to quit drinking.
Liu Ling said: But I can't control myself, I have to ask God for help, you hurry up and prepare wine and meat, so that you can worship the gods.
Mrs. Liu prepared the wine and meat, but Liu Ling knelt down and prayed: Ling knelt down and blessed"Born Liu Ling, in the name of wine;One drink and one drink, five buckets to solve the drink. Take heed not to hear the woman's words. "
After saying that, he picked up the wine and drank it, and after a while, he got drunk.
Liu Ling loves wine, but she sleeps when she is drunk, Ruan Ji loves wine, and when she is drunk, she will "speak wildly", when walking, she must go to the end, and when there is no way to go, she will sit on the road and cry.
Ruan Ji cried many times, and when a girl who was not related to him died, he also went and cried. The reason for this is said to be just because the woman was good-looking and went early.
The literati of the Wei and Jin dynasties were clean inside, so they looked free and easy. Ruan Ji is not free and easy, but his heart is still clean.
Ruan Ji and Wang Rong often went to buy wine and drink, and when they got drunk in the store, they slept next to the woman, and after the owner came back, he was very suspicious, but after careful observation, he found that Ruan Ji really had no evil thoughts at all, so he was relieved and allowed Ruan Ji to do so.
As the saying goes, "adults do not lose their pure hearts", and this is the case with Ruan Ji. The heart is pure, like a child.
This is the demeanor of Wei and Jin, with a clean heart and a free and easy life.
Before Ji Kang died, he said to his son Ji Shao: "Juyuan (Shantao character) is here, and you are not alone." ”It means that your Uncle Shantao is still there, and you will not be an orphan.
After Ji Kang's death, Shantao did take good care of Ji Shao, and until he became a talent, Shantao did not complain because Ji Kang had broken off his friendship with him.
After Ji Shao grew up, like Ji Kang, he was a talent, and Yushu was in the wind.
Once, Ji Shao was walking on Luoyang Street, and someone saw it, so he described his demeanor to Wang Rong, saying that he was as proud as a wild crane in a flock of chickens.Later, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings broke out, and Ji Shao died on the battlefield in order to protect Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui.Wang Rong laughed: "You haven't seen his independent father who is rocky and lone pine!."”
Ji Shao had a chance to escape, but in order to practice "inner loyalty", he just said lightly to the guards who persuaded him to slip away: "A gentleman is dead, and the crown and hat must be upright." Then he rushed to the enemy and died gladly.
As the son of Ji Kang, he died for the Sima family, who had a grudge against his father.
His death is also the demeanor of Wei and Jin.
Unlike Ji Kang's death, Ji Kang's death is the integrity of freedom and martyrdom, while Ji Shao's death is a kind of death of sacrificing his body to become his heart, and it is the death of a philosopher.
The literati of the Wei and Jin dynasties not only advocated freedom, but also preferred to act spontaneously.
They are not formal, but they are authentic and not held hostage by the rules and regulations of the world.
Ruan Ji once served his mother during the funeral, Zhongshu ordered Pei Kai to go to mourn, Ruan Ji was already drunk, his hair was scattered, he sat on the bed with his legs outstretched, and he didn't cry, let alone tears. Pei Kai cried.
Pei Kai said: Ruan Ji is a person who is detached from the world, he can not care about etiquette, and people like us in the world must abide by etiquette by themselves.Once, during the mourning, Ruan Ji participated in Sima Zhao's banquet, drank wine and ate meat, and the captain of Si Li said to Sima Zhao: You are using filial piety to govern the world, but Ruan Ji is in a heavy mourning but openly drinks and eats meat at your banquet, he should be exiled to a desert place to correct customs and education.
Ruan Ji ate and drank non-stop, looking calm.
However, is Ruan Ji really not grieving?"The World Says New Words" said: When Ruan Ji buried his mother, he steamed a little fat pig, drank two buckets of wine, and then said goodbye to his mother's body.
It's not that he doesn't grieve isn't for others to see, so he doesn't care about etiquette.
It's a real celebrity, self-style, that's what he said.
Yi Zhongtian said that the Wei and Jin dynasties were an era of beauty, and the beauty that people pursued was not only to look good, but also to live beautifully.
But looking good depends on fate, but living a beautiful life depends on a person's courage and what kind of price he is willing to pay.
Ji Kang lived a beautiful life, and the price he paid was the price of his life, not to be in the company of the laity;Liu Ling lives beautifully (he lives for himself), and the price he pays is the eyes of the world that do not understand;Ruan Ji lives beautifully, but what he pays is not understood, and it is incompatible with his surroundings.
Wei and Jin celebrities, most of them are elegant and beautiful.
Zhang Dai said: "People have no habits, don't have friends with them", most of those people in the Wei and Jin dynasties have their own habits, such as Ji Kang striking iron, Ruan Ji is rampant, Liu Ling is good at wine, Ruan Xian talks about the piano, Xiang Xiu is talented, but he is willing to follow Ji Kang to strike iron and help pull the bellows. and later Tao Yuanming, who was also addicted to alcohol.
The most graceful thing about the demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties is that many cultural people have lived out themselves and lived out a kind of respect for life.
Their way of life, in terms of attitude, is modest, in terms of demeanor, and beautiful.
How pretty?The appearance is clear and handsome, the demeanor is serene and elegant, the heart is clear and thorough, the life is extraordinary, and there is no pollution.
That's pretty. That's grace.
And these demeanors and beauty must not be imitated, so the demeanor of Wei and Jin is actually impossible to learn. He is a phenomenon created by the culture of the times.
But today, the literati demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties is still faintly visible, and there are still many people who live beautifully.
Although the demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties cannot be learned, he is still our demeanor of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
Today is, tomorrow is, and it will always be. Some people always remember that in such a troubled era, many literati lived beautifully and gracefully.
That kind of demeanor is not the confidence given by material things and power, but a personal character that emanates from the heart from the inside out.
