A Brief Introduction to the Author of Guo Qin Lun
I. Introduction to the author
Jia Yi (200 BC-BC 168), born in Luoyang (now Henan), was a political commentator and writer in the early Western Han Dynasty, and was called Jia Sheng. Jia yi's works mainly include prose and ci fu? . His political articles comment on current politics, with simple style and vivid discussion. Lu Xun called them "Hong Wen of the Western Han Dynasty", and his representative works include On Qin, On Accumulation, and Chen Zheng's Poems.
His Ci and Fu are both in Sao style, and tend to be scattered in form, which is the forerunner of the development of Han Fu, especially "Diaoqu Yuan Fu" and "Bird Fu".
Second, the author's life
Jia Yi has little talent and fame. At the age of eighteen, he was considered a good writer in the county. Emperor Wendi was a doctor at that time, and moved to be a doctor in Taizhong. He was pushed out by ministers Zhou Bo and Guan Ying and was promoted to the king of Changsha, so later generations also called Jia Changsha and Jia Taifu. Three years later, he was recalled to Chang 'an to be the teacher of Liang Huaiwang.
Liang fell off his horse and died. Jia Yi felt deeply guilty and died of depression. He is only 33 years old. Sima Qian sympathized with both Qu Yuan and Jia Yi, and wrote a joint biography for them, so later generations often referred to Jia Yi and Qu Yuan as "Qu Jia".
