The "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" came into being at the turn of Wei and Jin Dynasties. Due to social unrest, they can only escape from the world by drinking a lot, thus avoiding political persecution. They either compose poems and play the piano, or overlook the river. In the beauty and purity of nature, they get psychological peace and pleasure, stay away from the noise of the world, face the wonderful natural landscape and enjoy great happiness.
Ji Kang described in "Poem of Surrender" that "the middle reaches of the Happy Garden are endless. Hundreds of flowers spit fragrant flowers, worshiping and admiring Taiwan Province. The trees are intertwined, "playing carp in the pond", "playing elegant exercises with the sound of the piano, and the sound rising with the wind" reflect the natural seclusion life of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest".
Wei and Jin Dynasties was a turning point in the history of China. The society in this period was full of turmoil, chaos and disasters, but the corresponding literature has undergone tremendous changes, full of extraordinary natural style.
During this period, the cultural and ideological fields were relatively free and open, and the atmosphere of discussion and debate prevailed, which was reflected in the desire for life, life, humanity and life in literary aesthetics, that is, awakening humanity, lamenting life, pursuing personality and persisting in life. Therefore, the aesthetician Zong Baihua said, "For the first time in China's history, there was a' human awakening'.
The Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest are the representatives of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and Ji Kang is one of them. "Worrying about your heart will make you sing forever".
Rong Zhi and Ji Kang used a lot of pen and ink in history books. Most of them say that he is tall, handsome and unpretentious, as if he doesn't care much about his appearance:' Ji Kang is seven feet eight inches long and has a unique charm. People who saw it sighed at the sun:' Xiao Xiaosu, hearty. Or the cloud:' Su Su is like scattered wind, high and Xu Yin.
Ji Kang spoke highly of Qin and Qin Le: "Drink a glass of turbid wine, play a song, and announce your completion." In addition, Ji Kang also wrote Qin music, Ji Kang's four major workshops (evergreen, short green, long side and short side).
Song of the Wind is all his piano music. Ji Kang also writes well, especially cursive. Ji Kang was rated as the second cursive script in the world in The Record of Fa Shu Yao compiled by Zhang Yanyuan in the Tang Dynasty. Ji Kang is also good at painting. His paintings "Bird's Nest Washing Ears" and "Lion Beating Elephant" were included in Zhang Yanyuan's "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties", but unfortunately they have been lost today.
Ji Kang is a tragic figure through the ages. When he was sentenced to death in Dongshi, he ignored the shadow of the sun and finished playing a song "Guangling San", lamenting that "Guangling San is now unique". That kind of grief and indignation made people at home feel pain.
Reading Ji Kang's poem again today, the beauty of "speak frankly" can't calm my heart for a long time. In fact, even if Ji Kang's dazzling demeanor and talent are removed, Ji Kang will still be as beautiful as the bright moonlight when he dies.
What really touched his heart was his sincerity in dealing with everything and simplicity in his mind. In that dark age, even though there were thorns everywhere and the fog was poisonous, his poems were still sunny, sometimes quiet and profound, and sometimes magnificent. True simplicity should be the courage to protect the initial heart after understanding the world; Should be after Qian Fan, or willing to see everything.
Even though the British have passed away, the spiritual blueprint left in the world is still Taoyuan.
