Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties culture.
The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods were characterized by political **, economic decline, and cultural prosperity.
The Wei and Jin celebrities, represented by Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, who have made extraordinary updates and reconstructions in terms of lifestyle, spiritual values and collective personality, started everything from scratch, they are very much like cultural rebels, but in fact they have changed the quality of Chinese culture.
Li Bai wrote a poem to praise: Ruan is a Taishou and takes a donkey to Dongping. Ten days of cutting bamboo, once weathered. Occasionally, who will test the master's feelings. The master is pine, and the clouds know the ancient city. The sweeping things are reckless, and the grass grows in autumn.
Ruan Ji was the son of Cao Cao's secretary Ruan Yu, the head of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, who was not greedy for fame, disgusted with the world, and was uninhibited, and may have died of writing the "Persuasion Table" at the age of 53. Lu You's evaluation of Ruan's nationality: Born father and son to establish monarchs and ministers, and eternity is rather chaotic! The seniors can be punished without reconsideration, who is the courtesy for me?
Ji Kang is Cao Cao's great-grandson-in-law, with a lofty temperament and a bold personality, and is known as a beautiful man called "Longzhang Fengzi". He is the author of the best Li Le book "Sound without Sorrow Music Theory", lived in seclusion in Shanyang for a long time, and later opened a blacksmith shop in the suburbs of Luoyang City, was framed and sentenced, and played the famous song "Guangling San" on the guqin before his death at the age of 39.
Wei and Jin celebrities ushered in an important era of innovation, and in the following one or two hundred years, top figures in various fields appeared. For example, the pastoral poet Tao Yuanming, the literary theorists Liu Xian and Zhong Rong, the medical scientist Ge Hong, the mathematician Zu Chongzhi, the geographer Li Daoyuan and so on.
