If Jiang Yan's "Hate Fu" and "Biefu" are masterpieces of the ages, then his dream of returning the pen is a whimsical idea. He knows the king's expert thinking well, and would rather be laughed at by later generations as "Jiang Lang is at his wit's end" than burned by his own writing. He once said to his disciples, "When you are happy, you must be rich. My fame is immediate, and I want to go back to Cao Laier. " (Liang Shu), this may be the real reason for his dream. In fact, when did Jiang Lang run out of talents? Jiang Yan is still smart after writing!
In the first year of fainting in Qidong, Cui rebelled out of self-esteem. The rebels besieged the capital, and the gentry and bureaucrats joined the rebels one after another. Only Jiang Yan refused to get sick. After Cui failed, everyone admired Jiang Yan's wisdom. Later, when Xiao Yan led troops to revolt, the gentry learned from the past, and everyone was at ease, while Jiang Yan took off his original official uniform and went to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan won and proclaimed himself emperor for Liang Gaozu Wu. Jiang Lang was re-used by Liang Wudi, and the official was Zuo Cheng, and the senior official was generous and powerful. It was in this quiet movement that Jiang Lang showed extraordinary political wisdom and intelligence, which obviously did not mean that "Jiang Lang's talents have been exhausted". Interestingly, up to now, no one thinks that "Jiang Lang Exhausted" is a misunderstanding of history.
From ancient times to the present, China literati generally have three mentalities about social problems: first, they don't write because they have no intention to do it; The second is to deliberately write without writing thoroughly; The third is to know that it is inconvenient not to write. There is no doubt that Jiang Yan also experienced these three kinds of mentality and artistic conception, and finally stopped writing for the comfort of life. However, in any case, the personality under this mentality is distorted. But this is not Jiang Yan's shame, and the autocratic system doomed the literati's own tragedy. Of course, in this kind of tragedy, there are often comedies. Therefore, today, some people always like to pull out some ancient people to make fun of them. Just like the idiom "Jiang Lang is at his wit's end", it seems that all future generations are making fun of Jiang Lang. Little did they know that Jiang Lang was making fun of those who had made fun of him for over 500 years.
