I introduction and events

Ji Kang (223-262), whose real name is Ye Shu, was born in Weiqiao County (now southwest of Su County, Anhui Province). Ji Kang lost his father in his early years and his family was poor, but he was still inspirational and diligent, and even learned a lot. He is proficient in literature, metaphysics and music and has made extraordinary achievements. Once the official worshipped Dr. China, and the world was also called Ji Zhongsan. Ji Kang, as a famous figure in Wei and Jin Dynasties, was a famous thinker, musician and writer, and one of the seven sages of bamboo forest.

Ji Kang likes to strike while the iron is hot. The iron shop is under a leafy willow tree in the back garden. He attracted the mountain spring and built a small swimming pool around the willow tree. When he was tired of striking while the iron was hot, he jumped into the pool to soak for a while. The people I met either praised him for his "quiet and refreshing movements" or praised him for his "looseness, lofty and attractive". This shows his natural and unrestrained attitude towards life.

Ji Kang drinking Ji Kang drinking was also very famous at that time. Drinking too much can forget the world and get rid of the entanglement of realistic contradictions. Ji Kang not only drank wine, but also wrote Poems at the Reception, which made people feel that there were poems in wine and wine in poems. Ji Kang drinks very sparingly and never overdoes it. He said, "What are wine and color? I am not embarrassed today: the song has been said and the wine has dried up. " On the other hand, Ji Kang also knows that it is temporary to escape from reality by drinking, because he will wake up eventually. So this is not the way to get rid of it completely.

Ji Kang was killed by Sima Group during the Guangling Rebellion. On the day of execution, Ji Kang asked for a guqin. After tuning, he began to play Guangling Powder. At this moment, the execution ground was silent, and the sound of the piano was full of excitement, such as resentment, weeping and lingering. After the play, Ji Kang lamented: "Yuan Xiaoni wanted to learn Guangling San from me, but I refused to teach him. Guangling San is absolutely unique today! "

Second, use examples.

Topic 1: self-awareness and expectations of others

"Glug, Glug ..." Did you hear the crisp sound of iron impact? The breeze blows on the face, the strong muscles exude the breath of life, and the blazing fire cultivates noble sentiments. Ji Kang, the hero of this era and a generation of talented people, lived a blacksmith's life here. Like everyone else, you have high expectations for him, but do you dare to persuade him to be an official? Have you forgotten Dear John's Chrysanthemum Garden? The sonorous words have declared his disdain for official career to everyone, so let him be himself, and let the "seven sages of bamboo forest" live the life of "singing under the leaves", "drinking in bamboo forest", "boating in winding water" and "picking chrysanthemums in Nanshan" forever, and don't let vulgar filth cover up the delicate fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Maybe this is the true meaning of life. No matter what others expect, they will pursue what they think is right, freedom, loftiness, dignity of life and heroic quality, put aside others' expectations and discouragement and move towards their own understanding.

Topic 2: the choice of ideas

The most contradictory is the literati, who seem to be born with spiritual choices, between advance and retreat, between life and death. Heroes emerged in Wei and Jin Dynasties-historians say so.

I don't know if Ji Kang is a heroine in other people's minds, but from his every choice, I conclude that he is a hero.

Ji Kang may be born with pride, unyielding in vulgarity, unwilling to admire officials, and living his own pastoral hermit life. A generation of famous clock will admire him and be rejected. When Zhong Hui left, she didn't forget to glare bitterly. So Ji Kang went to the guillotine on the grounds of rebellion. Before the execution, the executioner asked him what he had to say. He looked up and watched 3000 Thai students kowtow to a master. Si Mazhao also looked at Ji Kang. Ji Kang knew that with his fame, all he had to do was say a pleading word to Si Mazhao, and everyone would be happy in the future. His heart is moving, his heart is hurting, has he given in? No, he knows that he is not wrong. So he said, "Bring me the piano." ..... His courage to die gave history a meaningful background, and the resounding Guangling San echoed in his ears. Ji Kang made an evocative choice between dignity and life.

Years later, we will say: This is the most touching choice!

Theme 3: Tolerance

Ji Kang's death happened in this background: on the one hand, Ji Kang can't tolerate people, on the other hand, Ji Kang can't tolerate people. Dan Tao kindly asked him to be an official, but he was so angry that he insulted himself for the other side, but it was this Dan Tao who made his son not an orphan. Zhong Hui worships him and wants to make friends with him. He didn't even look at him. This is actually Ji Kang's narrow-minded performance. He can't be as all-inclusive as a mountain, nor can he be as all-inclusive as the sea.

Some people say that this is Ji Kang's natural persistence. What is nature? Nature is tolerance. It is a pity that the rulers of that era failed to accommodate such an intellectual and eliminated him as an alien.

Topic 4: Self-abuse

Self-abuse is actually a kind of spiritual exile and a symbol of mental depression. A tendency of scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties was to take medicine, drink alcohol and have more lice, which were not so much seclusion and chic as self-abuse. They pursue spiritual freedom and noble personality, and are unwilling to reach a compromise with the society at that time: in the conflict between ideal and reality, the energy of life can only turn inward and get temporary catharsis and relief through the sensory stimulation of abuse. Ji Kang, as a man who is contrary to the times, has suffered too much mental oppression and blow. He had no choice but to take the forms of self-abuse such as drinking, taking drugs and pretending to be crazy as a way to save himself. When you are depressed, you can use medicine and wine to stimulate your senses and pour out your heart with a glass. This is also a helpless way to protect yourself.

Topic 5: Stick to yourself.

In fact, Ji Kang is a very talented person, so Dan Tao recommended him to be an official. However, according to Ji Kang's temper, he is unwilling to accept it, so Ji Kang will break up with Dan Tao. It can be seen from this incident that Ji Kang's personality is very contradictory, because Ji Kang said at the beginning that "only Liu Chen Ruan Ji, Dan Tao in Hanoi and Xiang Embroidery in Hanoi have a close relationship with God.

I think my best friend ended the relationship because of this, and it can also be seen that Ji Kang regards his own nature as extremely important and will not tolerate other people's interference. Ji Kang's behavior is not because he acts according to any ready-made rules, but everything acts according to his nature, which is the embodiment of Ji Kang's "teaching beyond the name and letting nature take its course".

Theme 6: Road

Ji Kang, Ji Kang, is cynical and desperate about everything in this society. You are the one who destroyed the ethical code, and you are also the one who is "not Tang Wu but a tiny hole". You, how can you let the Sima family settle on the pillow? Your loyalty and anger are unknown, so you have to rely on the hammer in your hand-the first hammer to crush the injustice in the world; Another hammer, a great vent of sadness in the chest; Another hammer warns all Chinese people for thousands of years before and after their death: Take a look, what century do I live in? With the sound of "Bang Bang", the bell rang, and you just ignored it and said, "What did you hear and see?" I would say, "smell it, see it and walk away." So you threw the hammer into the sky and laughed: "Haha ... I'm not Tang Wu, but I'm thin. See how you usurp power! " This smile, surprised the jade cup in Si Mazhao's hand, and the pitfalls are all over the place.

People say that you destroy ethics and don't care about filial piety. "alas!" Let me shout for you 1700 years ago! Perhaps this goes against your unyielding character, but it was in an era when everyone knew Sima Xin and the word "injustice" was fully understood by the world. I know that on the surface, you have destroyed the ethics, but in fact, you are angry with the behavior of people who sell dog meat (such as Sima Yi), so angry that you turn away from ethics, don't believe in ethics, and even oppose ethics! Actually! Is Sima Yi a dutiful son? But Sima killed you in the name of unfilial. Sad! "The transposition of Yin and Yang is not timely", this sad song of Qu Zi hundreds of years ago, unfortunately, has come true for you.

Topic 7: Making friends.

How unfair! Ji Kang!

I will never see your pride in drinking again, and I will never hear the sound of your hammer while the iron is hot. A pot of wine casts your wildness: a hammer forges your steel-like character. Such a true color and such a personality have made your life.

You "are sick in your intestines, speak frankly, and get angry whenever something happens." In your eyes, the world should be like sake in your cup, without dust and residue.

The rancid gas is as clear as jade, and the fragrance of Saizhilan is long. It's a pity that when you leafed through an ancient history of China, your name was printed on the darkest page: your eyes were full of brutal massacres and your ears were full of public lamentations. At that time, there were people who were wise to protect themselves, and even more people who had the humble ambition of "being hungry and cold, I will wait for them." Dan Tao, who always kept his word, abandoned you at this time and made you drink bitter wine: "Good wine is used to drive away troubles, so you should not be careless when looking for good friends. People know each other, you know nature, and the composer doesn't feel embarrassed. He really doesn't want to waste his genius. " In the face of Dan Tao's recommendation, you laughed, scolded and sang wildly. A piece of paper "breaking up with Shan Juyuan" blocked the back road and even showed dripping joy, which made it a good name admired by future generations.

Third, the wonderful model essay

Distant knight

In the history of Wei and Jin Dynasties, the most striking thing is that Ji Kang, the representative of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", dressed in thick clothes, or singing with musical instruments, or drunk the bamboo forest, "wandering lonely, doing nothing but being expensive" and became a special "one" of that era.

This "one" coincides with the end of Cao Wei. At that time, Wei was in decline, while Sima's family was thriving, and the change of dynasty was a foregone conclusion. The storm of "coming events cast their shadows before them" forced many literati to re-choose their life orientation, which was full of painful struggles of crawling and standing. Therefore, those who drift with the tide have it, those who brave the torrent have it, those who pretend to be snakes have it, and those who avoid disasters have it. Even a celebrity like Ruan Ji "speaks deeply" and "doesn't hide people".
