Pan An, a writer and politician in the Western Jin Dynasty, is known as "the first handsome man in ancient times". In the first year of Yongkang, the "Eight Kings Rebellion" occurred in the Western Jin Dynasty. Sun Xiufeng was ordered by the secretariat to falsely accuse Pan An, Shi Chong and Ouyang Jian of conspiring against Wang Yun and Wang Qi. Pan An was killed in Luoyang, Xicheng, at the age of 53.
Warrior Lan Ling: Gao Changgong, the fourth son of King Gao Cheng of Wenxiang, was the imperial clan and general of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was named the Warrior Lan Ling, known as the "God of War in the Northern Qi Dynasty". Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was suspected by his late master Gao Wei and died with dove wine.
Song Yu: According to legend, he was a student of Qu Yuan and a Warring States person. He is good at ci-fu, and allusions such as "Xialiba people", "Yangchun Baixue" and "Qugao and Widow" come from him. There are not many records about Song Yu's life experience. I only know that he was born in a poor family. In order to seek a political way out, he became a literary attendant beside the king of Chu, and it is said that he was once appreciated by the king of Chu. But Song Yu is actually not good at being an official, and has fallen behind the times. In the end, he left the imperial court, returned to the countryside, and finished his life with full regrets.
Wei Jie: Metaphysical scholar in Jin Dynasty, official to Prince Ma. Yongjia moved south for four years, and people have already heard of his reputation. People who came out to see him were surrounded like a wall. Wei Jie had a weak illness, and his body couldn't stand fatigue. Finally, he became seriously ill and died. At that time, people said they witnessed Wei Jie's death.
Extended data:
There is another saying about the four beautiful men in ancient times: Pan An, warrior Lan Ling, Ji Kang and Wei Jie.
Ji Kang was a thinker, musician and writer of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. Ji Kang is the son-in-law of Cao Wei's imperial clan and married Cao Cao's great-granddaughter Changle Pavilion. In the official scattered medicine, the world calls it "scattered medicine". After living in seclusion, he refused to be an official. Si Mazhao was executed at the age of forty because he offended Zhong Hui and was framed by Zhong Hui.
Either way, these handsome men have one thing in common: they are both talented and beautiful, or they are highly cultivated in literature and music, or they are famous for their literary talent and martial arts. It is said that when these people travel, they all cause scenes that people are scrambling to witness.
