Sima Xiang's biography is very long, and a large part of the space is the articles he wrote. Sima Xiangru, a native of Chengdu. According to the cultural strength and weakness of the region at that time, it was not easy for Sima Xiangru to grow into a well-known literati in the relatively remote southwest, after all, there was a lack of corresponding atmosphere, but it can also see the importance of personal efforts. The personal life plan is quite successful, with clear goals, and admires Lin Xiangru, so the original "dog" from his parents was changed to "Xiangru". Since childhood, he has been reading and learning swords, both civil and military. Ambition to do great things, donate money to become a Lang official, and serve Emperor Jing. However, because Emperor Jing didn't like flashy articles, Sima Xiangru at this time was not reused. When King Wu of Liang went to Chang'an to meet Emperor Jing, there were many literati in his entourage, and Sima Xiangru was very happy to see these people. Soon, after being dismissed from office due to illness, Sima Xiangru ran to King Wu of Liang and lived with his literati, and soon became famous.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon King Wu of Liang died of illness, and Sima Xiangru returned to his hometown, because there was no other means of making a living except writing articles, and life was relatively difficult, but fortunately, the local Linqiong County Ling Wang Ji appreciated him more and told him "If you are not happy outside, you can come to me at any time." So Sima Xiangru went to Wang Ji. At this time, De Wang Ji did not break his promise, and he was still respectful to Sima Xiangru, who was down-and-out, and it had always been like this, which made Sima Xiangru a little embarrassed. There are many wealthy people in Linqiong County, and the well-known ones are Zhuo Wangsun and Cheng Zheng, and the two compete with each other to entertain guests.
One day, Zhuo Wangsun invited to Linqiongling, and when everyone talked about having dinner at noon, Wang Ji remembered Sima Xiangru, and Zhuo Wangsun sent someone to invite, but it didn't arrive. Wang Ji didn't want to eat alone, so he went to invite him personally, and Sima Xiangru had to come. When he was drinking, Wang Ji proposed to have Sima Xiangru play to help the fun. The sound of Sima Xiangru playing the piano deeply touched Zhuo Wenjun, the granddaughter of King Zhuo, coupled with the sensation caused by Sima Xiangru's first arrival in Linqiong some time ago, as well as Sima Xiangru's private expression of his heart. Zhuo Wenjun ran to Sima Xiangru's residence that night, and ran to Chengdu overnight. This is a good story. Historical records record that this paragraph is very restrained, in the environment of the day, the timely Sichuan sister is as enthusiastic as today, if there is no Sima Xiangru's advance "layout" and "planning", I am afraid that such a thing is unlikely to happen. It is not so much love at first sight as "premeditated". Zhuo Wangsun, who was deceived into taking away his daughter, was very angry and cut off Zhuo Wenjun's economy.
Zhuo Wenjun, who was accustomed to a comfortable life, felt uncomfortable with Sima Xiangru soon after, so he ran back to Linqiong to sell wine with Sima Xiangru, after all, in front of his old father, he seemed to be reluctant to let his daughter suffer. So under the persuasion of "passers-by", Zhuo Wangsun gave Sima Xiangru a family of rich money and 100 servants. Zhuo Wenjun, who fulfilled his wish, turned his head and returned to Chengdu to buy a house and land, and lived a prosperous life. Zhuo Wenjun is still very successful in grasping his father.
The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, after Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, he read Zixufu, sighed that the work was exquisite, and hated to be born with the author. This is Sima Xiangru, a fellow countryman, and the dog supervisor took the opportunity to recommend Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru, who responded to the call, wrote a piece of Shanglin Fu, which was further praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and named Lang Guan.
A few years after Sima Xiangru served as a Lang official, it happened that Emperor Wu sent Tang Meng to pacify the southwest. Because Tang Meng's actions were too big, the people in the southwest felt threatened, and the work was not carried out effectively. Emperor Wu sent Sima Xiangru to assist. Sima Xiangru, who went to the front line, immediately wrote an essay, which quickly won the trust of the locals and reversed the initial unfavorable situation.
After Tang Meng completed the task. Sima Xiangru advised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to take over another area such as Qiong in the southwest, so he was appointed as a Zhonglang general. At this time, Sima Xiangru returned to Linqiong, and everyone competed for incense to "flatter" him, and the old father-in-law complained that his daughter married Sima Xiangru to hate marrying too late. Soon, Sima Xiangru also completed the important task assigned by Emperor Wu. When Sima Xiangru first arrived in Linqiong and planned to start completing the task, the ** of the whole society was very unfavorable to completing the task, and everyone felt that Qiong and other places belonged to the wilderness and were useless. Sima Xiangru also used the "pen" to write an article, taking retreat as advance, borrowing the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, so that everyone's concept has changed 180 degrees, and finally won social support and successfully completed the task.
Soon after returning to Chang'an, Sima Xiangru was reported to ** and was dismissed. Soon after, it was a resurgence. At this time, Emperor Wu was keen on hunting, and personally participated in the fight and chase with fierce beasts. When Emperor Wu passed by Yichun Palace, he mourned Qin II and advised Emperor Wu. Later, Sima Xiangru was renamed the "director" of Emperor Xiaowen's cemetery, and found that Emperor Wu was a good immortal, so he became an adult. After Emperor Wu read it, he felt that his body was full of immortal energy.
Sima Xiangru was old and sick, and after being dismissed, he lived in Maoling. Emperor Wu sent someone to fetch the book he had written, fearing that once Sima Xiangru went to the immortal, the famous works of the ages would be lost. When they arrived, they found that there was only one book, and all the others were gone. The Book of Relics mentions the fact that Mount Tai sealed the Zen. Soon, Emperor Wu went to Mount Tai to seal Zen.
As the earliest pen, Sima Xiangru is indeed a master in exhorting and educating people with literature. Although he stutters, he is sober-minded and logical, and he has his own world in life.
