Pan An and Song Yu-even people who are not interested in history can tell stories about "throwing fruit for profit" and "neighbors peeping at the wall". Yes, in the long history of 5,000 years, Zhong Ling, China is beautiful, and it has nurtured generations of talented and beautiful people. History seems to have a special preference for troubled times. The more troubled times, the more heroes and legends are born. It can be said that misfortune is also luck. Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is the peak of chaos, but also the peak of handsome guys.
The top ten handsome men in ancient China, except Zizi, Song Yu, Pan An, Ji Kang, Han Zigao, Warrior Lan Ling, Du Fu, all came from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is also unlucky to have a blue face in troubled times. The ups and downs of these beautiful women's life stories will be shared separately later.
It is precisely because these handsome men are proud and noble in blood, they can play the piano and control the battlefield with martial arts. In recent years, they are becoming an inexhaustible creative source of ancient novels and TV series, attracting a large number of Yan dogs and fans. However, when the story of Phoenix Prison Phoenix, which has both history and illusion, is put on the big screen, and the "sewing machine head" who collapsed through three views proudly claims that there is history to follow, will you be curious, is the aesthetic view in Wei and Jin Dynasties really like this? What kind of social atmosphere gave birth to those fascinating outstanding people?
Anyway, today's bibliography recommendation will unveil the mystery of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for you. Three interesting and informative books take you through the troubled times and understand the social and ideological life of Wei Jin people.

In the introductory bibliography of Chinese studies listed by Mr. Liang Qichao, Shi Shuo Xin Yu belongs to the category of "reading at will". The annotation says, "Those who read this book don't have to follow the leaf order, and they don't have to ask for the final volume. All the books are mixed with memories and thoughts, and there is no reinterpretation." "Jin people talk about metaphysical classification, and there are many witticisms. They are good companions after school and summer vacation."
The general idea is that this kind of books do not need to be read through, nor do they need to be read in sequence. It is best to fragment the short articles that are recreated in time.
Why do you say that, sir? Give a familiar example:
Everyone will die.
Wang Ziyou, Amethyst was seriously ill, but Amethyst died first. Ziyou asked around: "Why didn't you hear the news? It has been lost. " It's not hard to talk. Then SuoYuLai condolences, didn't cry.
Zi Su Jing is good at playing the piano, so he sits on the hearse and plays the piano. When the strings were not tuned, they threw a cloud on the ground: "Zunzi, Qin is dead." Due to long-term mourning, he died that month.
Wang Ziyou and Wang Zijing were very ill, and Amethyst died first. Wang Ziyou asked people nearby, "Why can't you always hear the news?" ? He must be dead. "He was not sad at all. He was preparing to go to the funeral in a sedan chair and didn't cry all the way.
Amethyst always likes playing the piano. (Ziyou) sat directly on the spiritual bed and took the amethyst piano to play. Chords are not harmonious. Ziyou threw Qin on the ground and said, "Amethyst, Amethyst, your people and Qin are dead!" " So I cried for a long time and almost fainted. More than a month later, (Yu Zi) also passed away.

In terms of space, Shi Shuo Xin Yu is short and pithy, and a short story can be completed in one or two sentences. It can be seen as a long story that all the pianists are dead. It is because of condensation that it means more meaning; If Shi Shuo Xin Yu is a video camera, then the sketch story is a photo, capturing the wonderful moments thousands of years ago with white Xuanwu ink.
Wang Ziyou and Wang Zijing, the protagonists of The Pianists Are Dead, are the brothers and sons of Wang Xizhi, a "book sage". It is not difficult to see that the two have a good relationship. As a close friend, where will you go is bound to be particularly sentimental. Strange things came, sensing the death of his younger brother, Wang Zi's reaction was indifferent, and he went straight into the mourning hall and sat down on the funeral bed. It wasn't until he picked up his younger brother's piano and couldn't play the past music that he was exposed-not sad, but depressed to the extreme, and found that Qin was dead, and there was nothing in the world to miss you anymore. He couldn't help crying and crying, more heartbreaking than the moment he learned the news. Two people left, but it was the year of fate.
In Shi Shuo Xin Yu, there are many stories that at first glance are bland or even meaningless, but they are touching and profound in philosophy. In addition, the qualities that were popular in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, such as composure and unyielding, are still applicable today.
To sum up, the expectation is five stars.

The degree of material is generally proportional to the difficulty of reading. Shi Shuo Xin Yu was written in the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. It is difficult for modern people with weak accumulation of ancient Chinese to understand the literal meaning of standard classical Chinese. Of course, it is not difficult to solve this problem. It is not difficult to understand the literal meaning of buying genuine books by translating notes in vernacular Chinese.
The real difficulty is to understand the meaning. When you tell jokes to your grandparents, they may not find them funny. This is a generation gap of about 50 years. The people in the book use stories to reason. There is a generation gap of over 1500 years. No wonder people today can't understand it. Shi Shuo Xin Yu describes the words and deeds of celebrities from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The time span is 200 years. From Cao Wei to Sima family, Wang, Xie, Heng, Yu and other families took turns to take power, and talented people came forth in large numbers. First, the historical backgrounds of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty are different, so it is not easy to know people and discuss the world. Secondly, there are more than 300 celebrities who have appeared many times, each with a name, a character and a nickname, and they are generally mixed and difficult to deal with. The family relationship and in-laws relationship are more complicated, which brings obstacles to understanding the feelings of characters.
If you want to understand the "moral", you have to accumulate more. We can start with well-known famous articles and explore the grand background and rich figures of Wei and Jin Dynasties bit by bit. We can also read the articles interpreted by scholars in Shi Shuo Xin Yu to grasp the style of the times.
Above, the reading difficulty is five stars.
In a word, this is a book that gets more interesting as you read it. Just like Mr. Liang Qichao said, you don't have to read it through, you don't have to read it in order. If you are impressed by Xie An's personality charm, you can just read the paragraphs about him, instead of sticking to a book. Preface to Lanting Collection and Golden Book are both read together.
When reading Shi Shuo Xin Yu, we can completely ignore the ancient identity of the people in the book. In the wonderful moments of daily communication, you will marvel at their talents and enjoy their joys and sorrows. People in Wei and Jin Dynasties are as open-minded as people today, and life and death just go against the course. Women also have the right to control their own destiny-it was the enlightened atmosphere in Wei and Jin Dynasties that gave birth to the powerful Tang Dynasty. Close contact with these ancient people who talked about metaphysics and lofty sentiments can just open a window full of fresh air for people who are immersed in the present today.
Intensive reading of Shi Shuo Xin Yu

Generally speaking, the difficulty of reading is directly proportional to the degree of material. This book is an exception. Professor Luo's explanation was concentrated, in-depth and thought-provoking. What is rare is that plain language shines with wisdom, just like diamonds on velvet. After reading this book, readers can grasp a thread in the vast story of Shi Shuo Xin Yu, and then apply it to autonomous learning.
Professor Luo's Zen in Poetry is also recommended. This book tells the history and thoughts of China's Zen Buddhism from the perspective of Tang poetry. It is also a popular reader, young and old, Xian Yi.
To get to the point, it is precisely because of the obstacle of reading Shi Shuo Xin Yu directly that the guidance of famous teachers is particularly important. The book is divided into thirteen lectures, focusing on ideology and social customs. It quotes a passage from time to time to support its own thinking, which is vivid and credible.
For example, the sixth lecture "Medicine and Wine" refuted Lu Xun's "Wei and Jin demeanor and the relationship between articles and medicine and wine" at the beginning. Of course, the language is soft, with teacher Luo's unique gentleness. Then, combined with historical research and original works, the real situation of "taking five stones powder" and "drinking too much" in Wei and Jin Dynasties was restored. With the unfolding of one story after another, the truth of "medicine and wine" turned out to be the external expression of Jin people's "pursuit of relaxed and free living atmosphere" In my opinion, Jin people love to read Zhuangzi and talk about metaphysics and Taoism, so they might as well call the celebrities at that time "Taoist youth".

As far as my personal feeling is concerned, after reading books and taking Chinese classes for many years, I have only accumulated "quantity". Even if the college entrance examination can be recited, you must recite 64 ancient poems of China; Even if I listen carefully, those deep-seated philosophies and subtle feelings can't be told in a few minutes in a large class of dozens of people. No matter how profound and touching, they are far less than reading alone. When reading Shi Shuo Xin Yu (intensive reading), I often have a strange feeling. Under the plain paper covered with type, it seems that a pulse is beating weakly and calling me. And when I read it again and again, it disappeared. When I read the eleventh lecture "Elegance-Ideal Personality of Scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties", this feeling became stronger and stronger. This lecture is the climax of the whole book. All previous theories based on the external fame, internal pursuit and material enjoyment of Wei and Jin figures are directly expressed in the title of this chapter. The extension of magnanimity is ever-changing, but there is only one connotation-the cultural pulse of Chinese civilization in China for thousands of years.
This pulse is beating in this book. As a native of China, you must watch it.
Third, "the politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty"

From a historical and political perspective, this book focuses on the political history of the combination of Jiangzuo gentry and Sima imperial power from the beginning of the 4th century to the beginning of the 5th century. In this book, you can learn about the secular side of celebrities in Wei and Jin dynasties, and it is also a more real side. This history book is the authority of "knowing people and discussing the world" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Shi Shuo Xin Yu was compiled in the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, but "Southern Dynasties" is a rather vague concept for most people. Even if they have heard of it, they don't know its corresponding position in the history of China. There are two reasons: the rapid regime change in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the number of countries, the diversity of nationalities, and the 300-year troubled times have puzzled historians.
I remember that the only history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties I studied in history class was Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. As for the geographical location, the existence time and the background of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the teacher didn't talk about it. I, on the other hand, haven't thought deeply about the time when Mulan's poems, peacocks flying southeast and Tao Yuanming's poems were recited.
It's like learning "Songs of Chile" when I was a child and asking my mother what dynasty the "Northern Dynasties" in "Folk Songs of the Northern Dynasties" was. If there is no answer, it will be forgotten.
In fact, the Northern Dynasties were not a dynasty; People who sing Chilean songs are not herders, but failed heroes. "In 546 AD, the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Huan led hundreds of soldiers to attack the Western Wei Dynasty, and seventy thousand soldiers were defeated. On the way back to Jinyang, it was rumored in the army that the arrow would die, and Gao Huan gave a banquet to meet the minister in spite of his illness. In order to boost the morale of the army, he ordered Hu to sing "Song of Chile", which made the soldiers nostalgic and boosted their morale. "Beiqi Book" (from Baidu Encyclopedia) "In the second year, Gao Huan died and Gao Cheng succeeded to the throne. Gao Cheng's fourth son, named Su, was long and respectful, and was named warrior Lanling because of his fief Lanling.
Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, covered with too many wonderful history, unforgettable at a glance. If time and matter can be transformed into each other, it will condense into a heavy door full of thorns; Then "Politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty" is a sword that cuts through thorns and pushes through the door, taking you into the long river of time.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only Wei, Shu and Wu were left. The wealth accumulated by Wei ruled the country, but Sima usurped power and established the Western Jin Dynasty. The Western Jin Dynasty was congenitally deficient, and the palace political struggle triggered the "Eight Kings Rebellion", and the royal family killed each other; The conference semifinals took advantage of this opportunity to enter and carry out the "five chaos China"; Large families have crossed the Yangtze River, which is called "crossing the south through thorns"; The surviving Sima family established the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whose capital was Jiankang, and ruled with the northern five lakes and sixteen countries. Later, the south split again and experienced the changes of Qi, Liang and Chen in the Southern Dynasties and Song Dynasties. At the same time, the north was unified and divided by the Northern Wei Dynasty and returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the end, Yang Jianli from the north established the Sui Dynasty, ending the troubled times.
Corresponding to TV series, there are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi, Great Military Strategist, Peacock Flying Southeast, Warrior Lan Ling, Princess Lan Ling, Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, etc.
This is the era described in Shi Shuo Xin Yu: the nobles fought for power and profit, often splitting the country and setting up another regime; People at the bottom live in poverty. "After fifteen years in the army, you have to come back in the 1980s." Sadly, no matter how high or low, life is like dirt, and the emperor's head falls faster.
Shi Shuo Xin Yu is a flower that blooms from that blood mud.
Give someone a rose, and the hand has a lingering fragrance.
I hope you like my recommendation.
