-Sima Guang
The relationship between virtue and talent has been the focus of discussion since ancient times. Virtue refers to people's moral cultivation, only refers to people's cultural cultivation. In my opinion, as Sima Guang said, it is the key to strengthen and master both ability and political integrity.
"Jingkang shame, still not snow, courtiers hate, when to return?" This song "The City is Full of Red" was written by Lu Fangweng, but how many people dared to sing for Yue Wumu at that time? In fact, during this period, there was another famous person. Let's look at Cai Jing, one of the four great calligraphers in Song Dynasty.
Cai Jing is a great calligrapher, but he doesn't conform to the famous saying that "the mind is always there". He impressed the monarch at that time with superb brushwork, and by virtue of the right of reward and punishment, he colluded with a group of ministers to dominate the capital. The mansion covers an area of dozens of miles, and every time it is expanded, thousands of houses will be forcibly demolished. He greedily forgot how to be a minister. In the declining imperial court, regardless of the hunger and sufferings of the people and the massive invasion of Jin people, he only used his pen to write volumes of Chua's calligraphy to win the favor of the incumbent.
Ignoring moral cultivation, just like Cai's, even if he has mastered rich knowledge and talents, it will only harm others, himself and society. However, Lu You is not. He is not only civil and military, but also virtuous. Later generations called him an example of a "patriotic poet".
Lu You was born in a wealthy family, but because of the war, his father took him everywhere all day, during which he loved literature very much, which made him know Yue Fei. He loved reading, so he picked up his sword and began to practice martial arts. Yue Wumu in the book made him admire. When the news of Yue Fei's death came, Lu You wrote this article "with red eyes" like a soldier grabbing a weapon, and no one could understand the inner pain. Later, he tried his best to be an official and go out to kill the enemy. However, how did he defeat tens of thousands of nomads in his later years? Later, he "paid tribute to the title and released the Weng". Although he had the lofty ambition of "mounting a horse to attack the crazy Hu and dismounting the grass army", he failed. However, a pure heart still lit up his later years. A series of excellent works proved that his life was integrated into the rise and fall of the whole country, and it was with this bumpy road that he became an indelible literary monument.
Talented people lack character and become a stagnant pool. Without the flow of living things, there will be no unforgettable memories. Therefore, I must grasp the relationship between ability and political integrity, and achieve both ability and political integrity.
