? Lu Ji was born in 26 1 and died in 303. He was born in Wuxian, Wu Qun, and now he is from Suzhou, Jiangsu. As the fourth son in the family, he and his younger brother Lu Yun were later called "Erlu". He was a famous writer and calligrapher in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Although Lu Ji was born in a famous family, he was interested in Confucianism since he was a child, and he was able to write good articles and handle daily behavior according to etiquette. In 274, after his father Lu Kang died, he and his four younger brothers led the army and served as dentists. When Lu Ji was 20 years old, the country he guarded, Wu Dong, surrendered. Therefore, he retired home and studied hard behind closed doors. After 10 years of accumulation, he achieved some results and created a discussion about death.
In 289, he went to Luoyang with his younger brother Lu Yun and just arrived in Luoyang City. The two brothers are proud, thinking that they are of noble birth. They look down on the lowly Central Plains people and just visit the famous people. After seeing Zhang Hua for the first time, I admired his virtue and treated Zhang Hua with the teacher's etiquette. Later, Zhang Hua recommended his two brothers to the princes, making them famous in Luoyang.
Later, he served as a wine sacrifice and writer in North Korea. In the following days, Sima Ying once saved his life, so he went to settle accounts with him, served as a plain literature and history, and gave advice to Sima Ying. Later it was called "Lu Pingyuan".
In 303, Sima Ying and Hejian Wang prepared to attack Changsha Wang, making Lu Ji a post-general. Because Lu Ji was very popular, no one else under Sima Ying's account accepted it. He spoke ill of him many times in front of Sima Ying, but Sima Ying was silent.
In this battle, Sima Ying was defeated, and the courtiers around Sima Yi repeatedly hinted that Lu Ji had betrayed him. In the end, Lu Ji was killed and three families were killed.
Luji calligraphy
? The most representative work in Lu Ji's calligraphy is Ping Fu Tie, which embodies the essence and style of his calligraphy. "Ping Fu Tie" inherits the social atmosphere of the Western Jin Dynasty, and has the simple and natural temperament that Jin people should have, with a hint of bamboo slips and cursive script. Among them, bald pens are the main ones, and bald pens follow the trend of pens. Handwriting is extremely natural and simple, which is called "it is impossible for non-China ancients to write a pen" by later generations.
The structure of this post is a bit casual, revealing a free and easy temperament, which makes people feel that the author is handy and effortless to write. Throughout the "Ping Fu Tie", people feel the simple and dignified atmosphere in the post. Lu Ji was deeply influenced by the calligraphy style since the Han Dynasty, so he used to press more than lift lightly when using a pen. His lines make people look similar in thickness, but they lack that elegant brushwork.
Its shape is still mainly tied, and the lines don't wander at all, just like a bud in bud, which has been hastily put away before it is written and tasted. In the hands of Lu Ji, cursive script has not yet reached its true peak. It only cares about the writing of a single word and pursues the composition of the word, but it has not reached its real dripping water. What cursive script wants is a passionate nature. It is precisely because of this deliberate control that implicit beauty is shown. This is another style of cursive script, and Ping Fu Tie is a model of this style.
Its stippling features are extremely prominent, stippling is very simple, and the horizontal stroke is very short, giving people a sense of pitching; Vertical strokes are long, a little bent to the left and back to the right; Those longer parts, which are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, look a little inclined, but they are still stable and interesting.
Lu Ji's works
? Although Lu Ji came from a family, although he commanded an army in the early days, he did not win many battles on the battlefield. On the contrary, after returning to his hometown, he made remarkable progress in literature, laying the foundation for becoming a writer in the future.
Lu Ji left many works before his death. Literally, according to Lu Ji Biography, he wrote more than 300 poems, 107 poems and 127 articles, including many fragments, but in general, there are still many literary works. Among them, his first "Debate on Death" enjoys a certain reputation. It tells the reason why Wu Dong was destroyed, about 2,800 words. Fortunately, there are some reservations in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, otherwise the original text will certainly be incomplete. Of course, the most representative is Ping Fu Tie, which has high calligraphy value and research value. Wen Fu can be said to be Lu Ji's literary theory work, which integrates all his literary theories. His understanding of writing is that although he can learn from his powerful predecessors, he still has to rely on himself to explore in practice. His literary works earned some income in the history books of many dynasties. 1982, Lu Ji Ji Ji was published, which included all his last works.
Lu Ji left many works in literature, which shows that he is knowledgeable. In history, although his achievements are not literary or weak, they are also certain. He once wrote the Book of Jin, which has four volumes, but Wu Shu only wrote some, but it was not finalized. There is also the Luoyang Ji, which has only one volume, and there are many historical works about him, which shows that he has great opinions on recording social events and observing society.
He has made some achievements in painting. According to the records in "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties", it is said that Lu Ji once had such works as "Painting Theory", which shows that Lu Ji still has insight into painting.
Lujide pet
In ancient China, those wanderers who left their homes and traveled all over the world were unable to communicate with their relatives thousands of miles away because of the lack of communication tools. In addition, due to years of war, some people didn't reply to a letter or even heard from them for ten years. As the fifth son of Lu Ji, after Wu's death, he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion for more than ten years, and then traveled to Luoyang. But his hometown is Wu, and the two places are far apart. So there was no communication for a long time.
Lu Ji keeps a dog named Huang Er. One day, Lu Ji suddenly missed his hometown very much and said to the dog, "I haven't written to my hometown for a long time, even never." Can you help me run? "
Lu Ji said this just to show comfort, but who knows that Huang Er shook his tail and cried, as if he had promised. At first, Lu Ji thought it looked interesting, but he wanted to try this method, so he wrote a letter from home, put it in a bamboo tube and tied it around Huang Er's neck. Therefore, Huang Er went south to find the hometown of Luji. Unexpectedly, it actually found the hometown of Lu Ji. Not only did he give Lu Ji's letters to his relatives in Wu, but he also tied them around his neck and immediately rushed to Luoyang to give them to Lu Ji. From then on, Huang Er became the messenger of Lu Ji to deliver letters to relatives, traveling between Luoyang and Wudi all the year round.
This story tells me that as long as you miss your hometown, you can convey your feelings of missing in any way. But to tell the truth, in primitive society, it is very unlikely to let Huang Er take a message. It's such a long road, and the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River separate the two places, so it's difficult for Huang Er to cross these two rivers. Besides, we regard it as a true story, which shows that Luji misses his hometown very much.
