The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove
Seven people were representatives of metaphysics at that time, although they had different ideological tendencies. Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Liu Ling and Ruan Xian have always advocated the study of Laozi and Zhuangzi, saying that "the more famous people are, the more natural they are", while Dan Tao and Wang Rong are good at Laozi and Zhuangzi and are mixed with Confucianism, while Xiang embroidery advocates the integration of Confucianism and nature. They live an informal life, quietism, and gather in the bamboo forest to drink and sing. The work exposes and satirizes the hypocrisy of Sima court.
There are obvious differences in political attitudes. Ji Kang, Ruan Ji and Liu Ling. They are officials of Wei, but they don't cooperate with Sima Group, which is in power and has become a substitute. After Ji Kang was killed, Xiang Xiu was forced to become an official. Ruan Xian worked as an assistant minister in the Jin Dynasty, but he was not valued by Sima Yan. At first, Dan Tao was invisible, but after the age of 40, he became an official and took refuge in Sima Shi. He served as minister, assistant, Si Tuleideng and other official positions. And became a senior official of Sima Shi's regime.
Wang Rong is stingy, but his reputation is the highest. After he entered Jin, he served as assistant minister, official department minister and Si Tuleideng for a long time. He was an official during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin and Emperor Hui of Jin, and he still enjoyed leisure without losing his position in the Eight Kings Rebellion.
The uncooperative attitude of the seven sages in the bamboo forest was not tolerated by Sima's court, and finally fell apart: Ruan Ji, Liu Ling and Ji Kang did not cooperate with Sima's court, Ji Kang was killed, and Ruan Ji pretended to be crazy to avoid the world. Wang Rong and Dan Tao took refuge in Sima Chaoting, and the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest finally scattered things.
Ruan Ji
Ruan Ji wrote Hyunri-like articles such as Yi Tong, Tong Lao, Da Zhuang and Yue Lun, explaining his thoughts and promoting metaphysics. Mr. Lu Xun once commented on Ruan Ji: "Ruan Ji has good articles and good poems. Although his poems are also impassioned, many meanings are obscure. Yan Yanzhi in the Song Dynasty said that he couldn't understand it, so it was naturally more difficult for us to understand his poems. He also said immortals in his poems, but he didn't believe them. "
Ji kang
Ji Kang, a thinker, writer and musician in the Three Kingdoms period, is also a representative figure of bamboo metaphysics, "seven sages of bamboo forest". He has made great achievements in music, calligraphy, painting, literature and many other fields in his life. Even in the field of Chinese medicine, he has made great achievements. His book The Way of Health Preservation is the first comprehensive and systematic health preservation monograph in the history of health preservation in China. Ji Kang, as the host of bamboo forest tour, often talks with Ruan Ji and other bamboo forest celebrities in the bamboo forest, drinking and singing. Talking about Hyunri has also become an important part of the bamboo forest tour.
