The preface to Lanting is fresh in annotations, and Wang Xizhi is a book sage. No one dares to question it. The question is, why is there no so-called "Wen Sheng" in China (not Confucius, but his old man's words and deeds)? Because Cao Zihuan in the Three Kingdoms period has seen and had a premonition that it is natural since ancient times that scholars despise each other. ("Canon". In feudal society, ordinary people want to get ahead by writing articles, scholars want to be famous by writing articles, scholars want to be immortal by writing articles, political opponents want to kill their opponents by writing articles, and people who can "write" articles (some of which can only be counted as words) want their works to be immortal (three immortal words), so other people's articles must be dogs (fart * is not worth it). Therefore, the importance of the article has been infinitely elevated, and the higher it is, the less a relatively fair selection standard and concept. In addition, it is difficult for people to understand each other. Some people like Dongpo's boldness, others like the graceful and restrained changes, and mutual sarcasm and accusation are the main parts of the literary world at that time and even today.

Therefore, in China and the world, the closer to the center of discourse power, the more intertwined superiors and villains are, the more light and darkness exist, and the more dense undercurrents are, which can only be balanced, and can only dominate the rivers and lakes without subversion. Good or bad, everyone can accept it. Sages in tea ceremony, calligraphy, art of war, medicine and many other fields. , has established its own school, or is widely expected. More importantly, this field is very professional, and you can't take the Analects of Confucius for a few years. Tea ceremony belongs to a few people; Calligraphy can show people's self-knowledge; Sun Tzu's art of war not only requires you to be a general for several years, but also has some theoretical innovations; In medicine, there should not be too many murders at hand, and the influence of medical skills handed down on future generations should not be too small. But this article is easy to learn and difficult to master, which is directly related to the future employment development and even the evaluation after death. How can I not let people rush in and break my skull? Therefore, no first place is the best result, just like today's Nobel Prize in Literature, whoever is elected in China's literary world (or outside the literary world) will definitely be greeted by saliva all over the sky.
