Ji Kang is proficient in temperament, especially in playing the piano, and has written music theory works "Fu Qin" and "On Sound without Sorrow". He advocates that the essence of sound is "harmony" and harmony with heaven and earth is the highest realm of music. He believes that emotions are not musical feelings in essence, but human feelings. Ji Kang wrote "The Wind Into the Pine", and it is said that Ji Kang also wrote "Lonely Family Meeting God". There are four piano pieces of Changqing, Short Qing, Long Side and Short Side, which are collectively called "Four Seasons Square" and "Nine Square" together with "Five Chua's Square" in Cai Yong.

literature
Ji Kang's literary creation mainly includes poetry and prose. He has more than fifty poems. There are four words, five words, seven words and miscellaneous words, and the score of four words is higher. He Chao's "Selected Works" said: "The four characters are not confined to elegance, but written in the chest, higher than Pan and Lu." His four-character poems are a batch of successful works after Cao Cao.
Ji Kang's poems mainly express his outlook on life, which is to pursue nature, strive for independence and reject fame and fortune. Among them, Poems for the Past describes his life experiences and ideals, and expresses great indignation at his innocence and injustice. At the end of the poem, he said, "Cai Weishan, there are caves. Yong Xiao often sings, and he supports his life. " Express your yearning for a free life. This poem is straightforward and clear-cut, and can be read together with Breaking Up with Mountain Juyuan. The fourth song "Giving Scholar to Join the Army" consists of eighteen chapters, the content of which is to imagine his brother's life in the army, but his free and easy interest is Ji Kang.
The style of Ji Kang's poems, Liu Xie's Wen Xin Diao Long, was rated as "Ji Zhi Qing Jun", and he also said: "My uncle is handsome, so I am in high spirits." It highlights the close relationship between Ji Kang's poetic style and his personality temperament. Ji Kang's "Breaking Up with Shan Juyuan" claims that he is "just sick in his intestines, but if he speaks lightly, he will be angry if something happens", and so is his poem. Zhong Rong's "Shi Pin" comments on his poems as "rigorous", which also means this.
