Wang Ziyou Who is Wang Ziyou? His name is Wang Huizhi, and he is the fifth son of Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who wrote the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and the one-note pen Goose. Ziyou.
Edit this paragraph: Interview with Dai on a snowy night
"The prince lived in the shade of a mountain, it snowed heavily at night, he fell asleep, opened his room and drank wine, and looked around at the bright sky. Because of his hesitation, he chanted Zuo Si thought of the poem "Zhao Yin" and suddenly recalled that Dai An was on the road at night. He arrived in a small boat at night and returned without making the door. , Returned after all the excitement, why bother to see Dai! '" He lives in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. On a snowy night, he couldn't sleep, so he opened the window and ordered his servant to pour wine. Looking around, he saw everything was white and bright, so he stood up and wandered slowly. He couldn't help but recite the "Poetry for Hermitage" by the Western Jin Dynasty writer Zuo Si. The artistic conception of the poem praising the hermit's noble life also reminded him of his longing for his good friend Dai Andao. . Dai Kui, whose courtesy name was Andao, was from Anhui. He had extensive knowledge and lived in seclusion in Shan County at that time. Shan County is now Shengzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Wang Ziyou suddenly missed his old friend and became interested. Regardless of the heavy snow and the darkness, he immediately took a small boat to visit him. The boat traveled all night before reaching Shengzhou. I don't know if it was because he had worked hard all night, but when Wang Ziyou arrived in front of Dai's house, it was already dawn, but his interest was gone, so he turned around and went home. People will naturally be puzzled by Wang Ziyou's behavior. Wang Ziyou is a man of true nature and acts as he pleases. "Shishuoxinyu" contains many charming stories of literati in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The most popular one is the "Visiting Dai on a Snowy Night". In terms of being cool and unrestrained, no one has been able to compete with him since ancient times. Nowadays, it’s not that there are no smart literati, nor are there no smart stories of literati. It’s just that today’s people can be called literati. Unfortunately, regardless of education, education, literacy, and self-cultivation, these four qualities, to be honest, are worse than those in ancient times. The literati are a little worse (and some may be more than a little). Therefore, even if you are cool and unrestrained, you will inevitably be stretched thin and unable to advance or retreat; even if you are elegant, you will wet your crotch and wet your pants, making you short of breath. How easy is it to be chic? It’s not like being cool when you say it is cool, or being cool when you say it is cool. After watching the literary world with a cold eye for half a century, some people are able to be chic; some are unable to be chic; and the majority of people are actually pretending to be chic. Pretending, that is, acting, red face, black face, white face, three-flowered face, always keeping that posture, I think they are quite tired. If the performance is good, it is good, but if the performance is not good, you can't hold the energy, you don't know which moves or moves, you show your flaws, you don't know which accent or tone, you make the wrong mistakes, you get a lot of boos, you make people laugh, it's not in the best taste. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, the connotation of a writer is the basis for whether he can be free and unrestrained. Let’s take a look at how Mr. Wang Huizhi in the fourth century “showed off”? And what can we observe from it? The father of this prince was Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher of the Jin Dynasty, governor of Jiangzhou, general of the right army, and internal historian of Kuaiji. His younger brother was Wang Xianzhi, a calligrapher as famous as his father, son-in-law of Emperor Jianwen, general Jianwei, and prefect of Wuxing. His great-uncle was an even more remarkable figure. Because of Wang Dao's planning after the Jin Dynasty moved south, Sima Rui was able to settle in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, allowing Jin Zuo to continue its reign for another hundred years. Therefore, the young people who came from the family of the Prime Minister and Fu, who oversaw the affairs of the three dynasties of Jin Yuan, Ming, and Cheng, cannot be compared to the children of today's high-ranking cadres. It should be said that there is an essential difference between a real aristocrat, a nouveau riche aristocrat, a pretended aristocrat, and a nobleman who has not yet washed the mud off his legs. Therefore, Wang Huizhi's chicness, which is based on an ancient family background and profound cultural heritage, cannot be achieved by just using any material. Nowadays, those new rich people who think that having money can buy everything, and that having power means owning everything, I really admire their bravery because they have never eaten pork, but they have seen pigs running away, so they feel that they can make up for it with a bad meal. , then he is pretty much inseparable. So, just like the provincial gentlemen who came to Paris in Balzac's works, they were all equipped with medals, gems, wigs, tailcoats, long-handled glasses, and tights for dancing minuets.
But is it easy to make a living as a noble? Firstly, it must have origins, secondly, it must have tradition, thirdly, it must have temperament, and fourthly, it must have cultural qualities such as conversation, behavior, demeanor, deportment, knowledge of equipment, experience, cultivation, character and so on. Without paying attention, those goose-like eyes were frozen there, that stupidly open mouth was there, and that waddling gait that was used to following the cow's butt was poked there, revealing the true nature of the country bumpkin. . In fact, whether you are rich or powerful, you can be arty and act in every situation, but you must be good at hiding your clumsiness and not showing your flaws. Even if your trumpeter, your cheerleader, screams that you are so cool and elegant, you must not take it seriously. Don't forget about yourself because you think you are so elegant or elegant. Remembering Mao Zedong's "Qinyuanchun" may be a sobering agent. Even Emperors of Qin, Han and Wu, as well as Emperors of Tang and Song Dynasty, thought it was "slightly less charming" and "slightly less literary." Ask yourself, what is it? Who is you? Wang Ziyou wanted to live in an empty house temporarily, so he ordered bamboo to be planted. Or ask: "Why bother to stay temporarily?" Wang Xiaoyong chanted for a long time, pointed at the bamboo and said: "How can I live without this king for a day?" Wang Weijun said: "Wine is attracting people to the resort." Prince You left the capital and was still at the foot of Zhu. I heard in the past that Huanzi was good at playing the flute, but I didn't know him. When I met Huan on the shore and passed by, the king was in the boat. A knowledgeable visitor said: "This is Huan Ziye." The king then asked people to hear about it and said: "I heard that you are good at playing the flute. Please try to play for me." Huan At that time, he was already noble and had always heard the king's name. He even returned to the car and sat on the bed to perform three tunes. After finishing it, I got in the car. The guest and the host did not exchange a word. (Characteristics of Wang Ziyou) Wang Ziyou did not live long, but he did live out his own characteristics. Like many celebrities in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Ziyou was full of shortcomings, but we have to admit that they truly lived out themselves. Both Wang Ziyou and Zijing died of illness, but Zijing died first. Ziyou said to his left and right: "Why haven't you heard the news? This is already a funeral." So he asked his father to come to the funeral, but he didn't cry. Zi Jingsu was good at playing the harp, so he went straight to the funeral bed, took Zi Jingsu's qin and played it. The strings were not in tune, and Zheng Di said: "When the son respects the son, the piano will all die." He died after being in pain for a long time.
