Life profile: Ji Kang, one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", whose real name is Ye Shu, was born in Luoxian County [1]. During the Three Kingdoms period, a famous writer, thinker and musician at the end of Wei Dynasty was one of the representatives of metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Ji Kang lost his father when he was a child and married the owner of Changle Pavilion when he was an adult (a granddaughter of Cao Cao and a daughter of Wang Pei Cao Lin; Cao Cao's great-granddaughter (Cao Lin's granddaughter) is a wife, a doctor and a son, Ji Shao. Entrusted by his father and prison, Ji Shao was raised by Dan Tao and recommended by Dan Tao as an official. However, his way of being an official was completely different from his father's and he became a loyal animal trainer to protect the emperor. On one occasion, Emperor Jinhui was defeated and trapped, and all the officials fled. Only well-dressed Ji Shao protected the emperor with his own body and died faithfully.
Ji Kang doesn't like being an official. He usually takes pleasure in striking iron. General Si Mazhao wants to employ him as his official. Ji Kang insisted on his ambition and didn't want to be an official, so he left home and fled to Hedong. Zhong Hui, the captain of Li Si School, wants to make friends with Ji Kang, dress lightly and use his wealth to lead the crowd away. Ji Kang and Xiang Embroidery forged iron in the shade, ignoring Zhong Hui. After waiting for a long time and no reply, Zhong was ready to leave. Ji Kang asked, "What did you listen to?" Zhong Hui replied, "I heard it, saw it and left." From then on, a feud was formed.
In the second year of Jingyuan, Dan Tao, who was also the seven sages of the bamboo forest, was transferred to the official department by the general, and Ji Kang was recommended to take his place. Ji Kang therefore wrote the famous "Breaking Up with Shan Juyuan" to show his heart.
Ji Kang was originally friends with Lu Xun and Lu An in Dongping. Lu An's wife was raped by her brother Lu Xun. Lu An was originally prepared to divorce her and sue Lu Xun. Lu Xun asked Ji Kang to persuade him and swore that the wicked would complain first, so Ji Kang persuaded Lu Anping to stop the matter. But later, Lu Xun was afraid that Lu An would go back on his word, so he first sued Lu An for being unfilial. Ji Kangyi was ungrateful, wrote a letter to break up with Lu Xun, and came forward to testify for Lu An, so he was also taken into custody. Zhong Hui suggested that Si Mazhao take this opportunity to get rid of Ji Kang.
Ji Kang's imprisonment immediately aroused people's dissatisfaction, and many heroes demanded to be imprisoned with Ji Kang. After being dismissed by the company, everyone was dismissed for a while, but in the end Ji Kang and Lu An were sentenced to death. On the day of the execution, 3,000 students from the Imperial College collectively wrote to Ji Kang for pardon and asked Ji Kang to come to the Imperial College as a teacher. But in the end, Si Mazhao sentenced him to death.
Before the execution, Ji Kang looked as usual. He looked at the shadow of the sun, and there was still some time before the execution, so he asked his brother for his usual piano and played a song "Guangling San" on the execution ground. At the end of the song, Ji Kang put down the piano and sighed, "Yuan Xiaoni learned Guangling San from me. Every time she learned it, Guangling San is now unique!" After that, Ji Kang killed him easily. In 262 AD, he was thirty-nine.

Ji Kang is proficient in melody, especially fond of playing the piano, and has written music theory works "Fu Qin" and "On Sound without Sorrow". He advocates that the essence of sound is "harmony" and harmony with heaven and earth is the highest realm of music. He believes that emotions are not musical feelings in essence, but human feelings. Ji Kang wrote "The Wind Into the Pine", and it is said that Ji Kang also wrote "Lonely Family Meeting God". He also wrote four songs, Long Qing, Short Qing, Long Bian and Short Bian, which are collectively called Si Nong of Ji and Jiu Nong together with Cai Wu Nong of Cai Yong, and are a famous group of piano music in ancient China. Yang Di once took playing Jiunong as one of the conditions for taking part in the imperial examination, and also played a famous song Guangling San.
Ji Kang is good at calligraphy. His works are cursive. The Record of Fa Shu Yao written by Zhang Yanyuan in Tang Dynasty is the second cursive script. Also good at Danqing, Zhang Tangyan Garden's Records of Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties contains Ji Kang's "Ear Washing in the Nest" and "Lion Shooting", which have been handed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, it's all lost now.
