Jikang Guangling Powder
Ji Kang not only left valuable materials for future generations to study the Wei and Jin Dynasties in literature, but also left valuable wealth for future generations in music. Ji Kang loves music since he was a child, has a special sense of music and has a very high talent in playing musical instruments. It is said that Ji Kang's contact with the piano is almost self-taught.
Ji Kang's love for Qin and Qin music has aroused people's speculations about him, and Ji Kang has also left a series of beautiful legends for future generations with his music.
Ji Kang has a very expensive piano. For this piano, he sold his family business, begged a piece of jade from Shang Shuling and put it on the piano. Ji Kang loves this piano very much and guards it day and night. On one occasion, Ji Kang's friend Dan Tao joked that he would play the piano while Ji Kang was sleeping.
Ji Kang's four tunes, Changqing, Short Qing, Long Side and Short Side, are called "Ji's Four Pavilions" and are very famous in ancient China. It can be seen how influential Ji Kang is.
Legend has it that Ji Kang was seen gathering herbs in the mountains at night, keeping warm with long hair in winter and using woven straw as clothes in summer. It is because of his free and easy performance that Ji Kang is noticed by more and more people in music.
"Guangling San" played by Ji Kang is a piece processed by Ji Kang. In the long-term spread, it affects people like a folk song. It is because Ji Kang played this famous song Guangling San before his death that people knew it, and Ji Kang's name has always been associated with Guangling San.
Ji Kang travels at night. Ji Kang lives in Sendai at night. After a day of sightseeing, Ji Kang is preparing to have a good rest and relax. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the piano deep in the valley. Ji Kang was very curious. Why does the piano sound in the middle of the night? It sounds so lonely that people really want to know the piano player.
Jikang night tour
Why don't I pay a visit to the musician who plays the piano late at night, so Ji Kang decided to give up his rest. He followed the sound all the way to a thatched cottage. Far away, he saw a solitary lamp in the room, swaying in the wind. It must be this room.
As we get closer, the melodious sound of the piano makes Ji Kang want to stop. He is eager to meet the pianist. Entering the thatched cottage, Ji Kang knocked on the door and volunteered to sign up. A beautiful woman came out of the room with a faint fragrance. The mysterious woman in front of me filled Ji Kang's heart with doubts. He has too many problems to get rid of this beautiful and moving woman in front of him.
The woman said to Ji Kang, Sir, it's really my pleasure for you to come to my humble abode. Why don't you come in and sit for a while? You see, the night is so dark. In this quiet world, it is also a kind of fate that you and I meet.
Ji Kang walked into the room and found that the seemingly simple hut was well decorated. The ladies' furniture is neatly arranged, not a bit messy. The smell in the air makes the body extremely relaxed. It's really pleasant to play a song in such an environment.
The woman made tea for Ji Kang. After chatting with them for a while, Ji Kang realized that the woman was a female ghost in the mountains. Just because she is worried, she can't be the patron saint of this mountain. When the weather is fine at night, she will think of the memories of past lives and play a little song to entertain herself.
Unfortunately, I brought my husband here today, so I have a companion. Ji Kang also thinks that it should have been arranged long ago. This meeting must not be a coincidence. The two chatted all night.
Ji Kang's four songs of long qing, short qing, long side and short side, also known as Ji Four Songs, were very famous in ancient China, and together with Cai's five songs in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were called "Nine Songs".

Among them, Guangling San, which Ji Kang played before his death, became one of the top ten famous guqin songs, and Ji Kang himself was also called the "pianist" in history.
The two songs "Long Qing" and "Short Qing" take meaning from the snow and want to express the spirit of leading an honest and clean life. Ji Kang wants to tell you that in this Wei-Jin era, the only way out for us literati is not to have anything to do with officialdom. In any dark and disorderly court, we will all bring our own destruction.
At the same time, Ji Kang also showed extraordinary interest. He not only makes himself indifferent and free and easy, but also influences ambitious people around him through his words and deeds. The Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest is a good example.
There are many meanings of long side and short side that need to be explained, and we can't give a clear explanation, but the structure of these two songs should be roughly similar to that of long Qing and short Qing, both of which express their lofty interests and lofty qualities through snow.
Ji Kang's "Four Alleys" also has the same feeling, and they are all expressing their lofty aspirations. In this troubled times, Ji Kang had no choice but to follow the crowd. He shouted to the world by writing articles and composing music. He is a model of the struggle between Wei and Jin Dynasties and bureaucrats. He advocated not being an official, not because he didn't want to serve the country, but because he wanted more people with lofty ideals to realize the corruption of society and the incompetence of officials, even if he was just a blacksmith.
These four songs are meaningful. When people play ball, can they remember Ji Kang's persistence and see Ji Kang's sad tears?
As a representative of metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Ji Kang's thought was very representative at that time, perhaps because of his position, Ji Kang's thought was very different from that of ordinary scholars.
Ji kang's thought
Ji Kang, as the representative of "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", likes to study the Taoist theory of Lao Zi Zhuangzi, and he uses Taoist thought to explain the darkness of reality. He believes that when we make life choices, we should be detached and not bound by many secular factors.
Ji Kang's works on his own thoughts are permeated with the pursuit of freedom spirit and strong criticism of the social status quo. This is different from the metaphysical thought of the same period. Ji Kang's "theory of keeping in good health" and his opposition to secular life had a far-reaching impact on that time and even later generations.
Metaphysics is a new school that began to rise in Cao Wei. Ji Kang's metaphysical thought was based on the awe of nature, which was the most easily accepted proposition at that time. Ji Kang's metaphysical poems all embody the style of advocating nature and pursuing truth, goodness and beauty. He believes that the nature is defined by Qi. Many of Ji Kang's literary works will not be over-decorated with flashy rhetoric, but will be based on the true feelings of nature.
Metaphysics emphasizes the pursuit of moral spirit beyond nature. The rise of metaphysics is related to the corruption and incompetence of the rulers in the late Han Dynasty, and people gradually pin their feelings on the nature of the universe. Under the influence of metaphysics, people no longer regard being an official in politics as the highest ideal, but put their free and easy spirit in the highest position.
In Ji Kang's thought, the theory of health preservation is a very important part. He inherited the Taoist regimen. The Theory of Health Preservation is the first book in the history of health preservation in China that systematically and comprehensively introduces the idea of health preservation.
Ruan Ji Ji Kang and Wei Zhengshi, the seven sages of bamboo forest led by Ji Kang enjoyed drinking and reveling under the bamboo forest in Shanyang County at that time, expressing their ambitions to the world and opposing the official system. Among these seven people, Ji Kang and Ruan Ji have relatively high literary attainments, but their friendship far exceeds their literary achievements.
Ruan Ji Ji Kang
Ji Kang and Ruan Ji are both literati and seven sages of bamboo forest. They don't admire powerful people and don't care about the constraints of etiquette. Their life is the kind of truth and innocence that people yearned for at that time.
People know their deeds more or less, some know some short stories, some have read their works, but the most precious thing is their rock-solid friendship, but this is little known. Let's see how they appreciate each other.
Ruan Ji is older than Ji Kang, so let's start with Ruan Ji. In the preface to Wang Teng-ting, Ruan Ji ran rampant and was mistaken for a negative textbook. Actually, it's not. Ruan Ji's dead end is not ordinary adversity. He wept in despair and did not bow to difficulties. Instead, he faced a sense of frustration that many people never realized. It seems that we can hear Ruan Ji's resistance and unwillingness from his desperate cries.
Ji Kang and Ruan Ji are good friends and hit it off at first sight. After Ruan Ji's mother died, Ji Kang's brother went to offer condolences, but Ruan Ji was not comforted. When Ji Kang heard about it, he took the piano and wine to Ruan Ji's mother. At that time, it seemed disrespectful to the deceased, but Ruan Ji saw that Ji Kang wanted to send his mother away with wonderful music and wine. It can be seen that they are not bound by traditional etiquette and pursue a higher artistic conception of life.
Because of their fetters, they are often compared in China's literary history, and their names will always be linked together and remembered by future generations.
