The "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" were in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and most of them had hard careers. In order to avoid being killed as an official in the imperial court, they began to look for goals and pursue a higher realm of life. Sometimes they write poems and play the piano, expressing their sighs about the injustice of the world, and sometimes they climb high and pour out their great ambitions to nature. After the baptism of nature, they gained spiritual sustenance and pleasure.
The first half of this poem fully expresses the joy that the poet cannot express in words. As soon as the word "happy in" came out, it laid a cheerful tone for the full text. At the beginning, the poet felt extremely happy because he was in nature and far away from officialdom. Facing the wonderful scenery, the poet was intoxicated.
The flowers are overflowing, the high platform is endless, the branches and leaves of trees are criss-crossing, and carp are playing happily in the deep pool. This feeling is the mysterious side that nature shows people, so how can the author not be moved by such beautiful scenery?
In the second half of the poem, the artistic conception has changed obviously, from scenery description to lyricism, and the emotional color has also fallen into thinking from the initial happiness. The thought that Ruan Kan, his good friend, couldn't sell such beautiful scenery made him feel a little sad, but Ji Kang imagined that his friends were around while drinking, which fully expressed the poet's desire to share this happy mood.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, the poet reveals inexplicable feelings, which casts a hazy color on the whole poem. This is a major feature of Ji Kang's poetry, and it is also the same feeling of this poet at the end of Wei Dynasty.
Ji Kang's Poem of Sorrow is Ji Kang's work in the Three Kingdoms period. This poem was written by Ji Kang, because he expressed his indignation at Lu An's being framed, and told the melancholy of his life and the reversal of black and white in this world. The whole poem clearly shows Ji Kang's own position. He resolutely opposes Sima's political attitude and wants to fight this unfair society to the end.
Regret for the Past is an important work of Ji Kang, and it is also an important reference for studying Ji Kang's personality and thoughts. When we read this poem, we must first understand its writing background. According to historical records, Ji Kang's good friend Lu An was imprisoned for being framed by his brother.
Therefore, in order to prove his brother's innocence, Ji Kang said that Lu An's brother was the culprit, but the court at that time was not what Ji Kang thought, and he did not expect to lose, but Ji Kang did not blame Lu An for it.
This poem was written after Lu An was arrested and imprisoned. In fact, there are deeper reasons behind this poem, which have a great relationship with the poet's unique personality. We know that the politics in the later period of Wei was quite dark, and honest intellectuals in the DPRK could be killed by villains at any time.
The Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest avoided talking about their official career because they saw this darkness, and Ji Kang, the most successful of the seven people, wanted to be a soldier and fight with Sima's family at the front.
Although the direct cause of the writing of Poems of Mourning Anger is the injustice of Rua, the deeper meaning is that the author is in a specific environment where he is imprisoned and expresses his anger at the right and wrong in the world. In this poem, Ji Kang once again shows his stubborn attitude of refusing to cooperate with Sima Shi.
