Guangling San, Ji Kang died.
Born in Ruan Ji, white-eyed
At the turn of Wei and Jin Dynasties, before and after Si Mazhao's autocratic power, a number of talented and distinctive characters appeared in the Central Plains. At that time, people called them "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest": Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Ruan Xian, Dan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Wang Rong and Liu Ling. They came from all over the world and lived in Luoyang, the capital, for some time. They are like-minded, often drinking and talking about politics in the bamboo forest, and they are free. The most famous of them are Ji Kang and Ruan Ji. 262.8 Ji Kang, a native of Qiaoxian County, is an old-fashioned, dignified and curious Ren Xia. He made good friends with Liu Chen Ruan Ji, his disciple Xian, Hanoi Dan Tao, Henan Xiangxiu, Lang Xie Wang Rong and Peiren Liu Ling, and was one of the seven sages of the bamboo forest. They all advocate nothingness, despise etiquette, indulge in drunkenness and leave the world behind.
Ji Kang doesn't want to be an official. He used to make a living by striking iron, but he was also free. There was a man named Zhong Hui, a loyal minister of Sima's family. He admired Ji Kang's reputation and wanted to make friends with him.
One day, Zhong will make a special trip to visit. Outside the fence, he saw his master under the tree, banging on the iron, holding the sledgehammer, "Cough, Cough", up and down, very rhythmic, like an old master. Zhong Hui stood for a while and politely greeted him: "Brother Ji Kang, you have worked hard." But the owner did not look up and did not respond. 262.8 Zhong Huifang was favored by Si Mazhao. He heard Ji Kang's name and did it. Ji Kang lived and cast it, not for the ceremony.
Zhong will get bored and turn around and leave. Ji Kang stopped the hammer, raised his eyes and asked, "What did you hear? What did you see? " 262.8 When the meeting was about to go, Kang Yue said, "What did you hear and see?"
I mean, what gossip did you hear about me before you came to me? What secret did you see when you left now?
Zhong Hui, out of admiration, came to make friends. On the contrary, he was rejected and was very unhappy. He immediately answered two humorous and confusing words: "I heard what I heard, I saw what I saw and left!" " 262.8 The meeting said: "If you smell it, you will come, if you see it, you will go!" Therefore, there is this profound title.
What he means is, did you ask me what I heard? I heard what I wanted to hear; Did you see any secrets? There are no secrets, just what I see.
Ji Kang offended the powerful Zhong Huijia!
Soon, Dan Tao recommended Ji Kang to take over the office, but Ji Kang refused. Instead, he wrote a dear John letter, cursing Dan Tao like an owl, wanting to eat dead mice, and seeing the wild geese in the sky, he thought that he was going to rob mice, so he bared his teeth and protested to them with a snort. This letter compares an official to a mouse-grabbing owl and alludes to the bureaucrats in power in the imperial court. Ji Kang's "Breaking Up with Mountain Juyuan": "I am addicted to stink and rot, and I will raise my young to die" (chú: The legendary bird is like a phoenix. "Autumn Waters in Zhuangzi" said: Keiko painted a portrait of Liang, fearing that Zhuangzi would take his portrait, he sent someone to search Zhuangzi. So Zhuangzi went to see Keiko and said to him, "There are birds in the south, and their names are chicks on their honeymoon ..... but they are not just phoenix trees, they don't eat unless they practice, and they don't drink unless they are in Liquan. So the owl got the rotten mouse, passed it on the honeymoon, looked up at it and said, "Hey!" " ") 262.8 for official department lang, for Kang Zidai. Kang and Tao Shu are talking about vulgarity, not thin soup and martial arts. I was angry at the news.
It happened that his friend Lu An was denounced as unfilial by his brother. Ji Kang retorted that Lu An was very filial. Lv Jin went to prison, and Ji Kang was naturally implicated. In the fourth year of Jingyuan (AD 263), Xu, the wife of Ji Kang's good friend Lu An, was raped by Lu An's brother Lu Xun. Lu An was very angry and wanted to sue Lu Xun. Ji Kang had contacts with Lu Xun and Lu An brothers. He advised Lu An not to expose his family's shame in order to preserve his family's reputation. However, Lu Xun was afraid of revenge, so he took the initiative to attack, but falsely accused Lu An of being unfilial, so that Lu An was arrested by the government. 262.8 Kang befriended Dongping Lu 'an, but Brother An falsely accused him of being unfilial, and Kang disproved it.
Zhong will take these things there and accuse him of "promiscuity and disorderly teaching", which means accusing him of talking nonsense, inciting people's hearts and endangering the country and politics. He should be put in prison and sentenced to death. At the meeting, it was said that "Kang tried to help. Both An and Kang are world-famous, but their debauchery and disorderly teaching should be eliminated." Zhao Sui killed a Ji Kang man.
Ji Kang's talent was extremely high and had a great influence at that time. After being put in prison, hundreds of students called for his release. Si Mazhao was even more afraid and ordered an immediate execution. When he was about to go to the execution ground, Ji Kang sat on the ground and asked the students on the sidelines to hand over his beloved banjo. In front of the onlookers, he played the song Song Guangling III, which has always been his favorite. The sound of the piano flutters around the execution ground, reaching the vast blue sky. He was completely lost in thought, forgetting that he was in the execution ground, forgetting the boundary between life and death, and being integrated with the piano, geese and nature. Audience, audience, executioner and dying people are all intoxicated in this music world. This sad and elegant piano sound seems to have taken away their souls. The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and Ji Kang put it down and sighed, "Three wonders of Guangling!" People inside and outside the execution ground wake up like a dream and make a piercing sound. Ji Kangchuan: Kang will be punished in Dongdu, and invited 3,000 students as teachers, Fu Xu. Kanggu looked at the shadow of the sun and played the piano, saying, "Yuan Xiaoni used to want to learn Guangling San from me, and she learned it every time. Guangling San is hopeless now!" At the age of forty.
Ji Kang died peacefully, and a generation of literary masters and music masters died in political disputes of intrigue.
Ji Kang's death is inevitable. Sun Deng, a great hermit at that time, once met Ji Kang and bluntly reminded him: "A child is too learned to escape from this world!" It is inevitable that he is highly educated and ignorant of the world. Unfortunately, Ji Kang didn't listen. 262.8 Kang Taste the Hermit, Sun Deng, Zhijun. He said: "I know children too well, so it is difficult to avoid this world!" "
Ruan Ji's talent is similar to Ji Kang's, and his reputation is equally high, but his attitude towards life and life is somewhat different, and he finally saved his life.
He accepted the position of Si Mazhao and became the captain of the infantry, but he didn't care about anything. 262.8 Ruan Ji is an infantry captain. It is said that he wants to be the captain, but it is said that the chefs in this department are good at making wine. He likes drinking best. Wine is his life. With wine, he will ignore other things. Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin is based on the fact that the infantry chef is good at making wine and has 300 bottles of wine, so he wants to be an infantry captain. After leaving the world, although I left my job, I always traveled to the house, and banquets were inevitable.
He often drinks with his family. My nephew Ruanxian found a big wooden basin full of wine, and everyone sat together, one spoonful for you and one bowl for me. Once, a little pig put its dirty mouth into a wooden basin, and it also purred. But Ruan's family doesn't care and drinks with pigs.
Si Mazhao attached great importance to Ruan Ji, and wanted to unite his relatives and invite someone to beg his daughter to be his wife. But Ruan Ji didn't want to climb high, but it was hard to refuse. What should I do? So he drank day and night and was drunk for sixty days. The matchmaker had no chance to speak, so he had to give up. In Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin, Emperor Wen wanted to propose to Emperor Wu at the beginning, but he was drunk for 60 days and couldn't stop. The clock will ask it about current events, and all the crimes it wants to cause will be exempted from being drunk.
Ruan Ji worships Ji Kang the most. When he came home, he looked at him with black eyes and welcomed him. But I hate Xixi most. Roll your eyes and ignore him as soon as you enter the door. At that time, people said that he had "good blue eyes" and his attitude of love and hate was in his eyes. Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin can be regarded as a supercilious look, and people who look at customs can look at it with supercilious eyes. Ji Lai hanged himself, lost his eyes and retired with joy. I'm glad my brother Kang heard about it, but that's because of the wine and the piano. I'm glad to see it. So polite people are enemies of illness, and the emperor protects them every time.
There is a young girl who runs a pub nearby. Ruan Ji appreciates her beauty and often drinks. Lying in the hotel when drunk, sleeping soundly and never being frivolous. The girl doesn't matter, and her husband doesn't doubt it. The young woman next door in Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin is beautiful and should sell wine. After tasting and drinking, you are drunk and lying on your side. This book is neither self-doubt nor paranoid.
The daughter of a veteran, with both talent and beauty, died before she got married. Ruan Ji, who didn't know the family, ran to the dead body and burst into tears to express his condolences. After crying, he turned and went out without saying hello. This is Ruan Ji's way of frankly expressing his inner feelings. In Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin, a talented military wife died before marriage. I don't know my father and brother, but I have been crying and paying tribute to them. The same is true of being frank on the outside and pure on the inside. When you drive alone, you can't help crying because you are poor by roads and tracks.
Sometimes, his behavior is hard to understand and can be called shocking.
One day, he was in high spirits when playing Go with his friends. Someone at home told him that his mother had passed away. He is a very filial person, so he should leave at once. My friend took the initiative to stop and asked him to start quickly. Ruan Ji, on the other hand, has an abnormal feeling that he can't stand up and insist on winning or losing. 262.8 The fucking soldier, his own side, played Weiqi with others. When the opponent asked him to stop, he stayed and decided to gamble.
Until the end of a game of chess, I took the wine method next to me and poured it into my stomach. Then there was a long whistle, tears poured down, and one mouthful blood was spit out. When I am sad, people are all skin and bones. But during the mourning period, he still drank and ate meat as if nothing had happened. 262.8 drank two barrels, raised his voice and vomited blood for several liters, which destroyed the barren bones. In mourning, drinking is no different from daily life.
Some of his words are also unusual. His subordinates once told him that someone had killed his mother, and he sighed lukewarm: "It's almost the same to kill his father. How can you kill his mother? " When someone reported to the emperor that he was inhuman, he replied slowly: "Animals know that they have a mother, but they don't know that they have a father;" Kill your father like an animal; Killing a mother is worse than killing an animal. " When the emperor learned about this, he praised his remarks. "Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin" said that a son killed his mother. He said, "Hey! Kill your father, even your mother! " The nanny blamed him for his gaffes. The emperor said, "Killing your father is the most abominable thing in the world, but what do you think?" Ji said, "Animals don't know their fathers. Kill their fathers, animals and so on. If you kill your mother, animals won't do it. " Are all to please the public.
He went to Guangwu Mountain in Xingyang and visited the site where Liu Bang confronted Xiang Yu that day. Others praised and admired him, but he sighed and said, "There are no heroes in the world, so Lizi became famous!" " That is to say, because there were no real heroes at that time, these two boys had to show their faces, which was not worthy of the name! It can be seen how amazing Ruan Ji's boasting is. "Biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin" tasted martial arts and watched the Chu-Han War, sighing: "There was no hero for a while, and Li Zi became famous!"
How can this kind of thinking, words and deeds, and style of work not be hated by secular people and bureaucrats?
Li Si captain He Zeng is a luxury figure. He spends 10,000 yuan to eat every day, saying that there is no place to eat chopsticks, but he can't tolerate Ruan Ji's remarks and behaviors, attacking him for "indulging in rational and immoral behavior" and saying that he will be exiled to the old ravine! Fortunately, due to various personnel relations, Si Mazhao did not agree to save his life. 262.8 What did Captain Li Si hate? He was born in Si Mazhao's seat. He said: "A man who indulges in excess and abandons customs and rituals is loyal today. If he were Cao of the Qing Dynasty, he would not grow up!" Because Zhao said that "the public governs the world with filial piety and listens to Ruan Ji's funeral, drinking and eating meat in the public seat, how can you teach people! The four generations that should be abandoned will not pollute China. " Zhao loves his talents and always supports them.
Ruan Ji died at the age of 54, leaving 82 popular love poems, which is the best proof of his personality. The Book of Jin, Biography of Ruan Ji, climbed five old mountains and sighed at Wangjing, so it was endowed with heroic poems. Jingyuan died in the winter of four years, at the age of 54.
Liu Ling likes drinking more than Ruan Ji. He often rides in a Xiao Mu car, which is sometimes called a "deer car". There is a pot of wine hanging on the car, and behind it is a small building with a hoe, which is very strange. Someone asked him what he was doing, and he said, "I'm drunk enough to bury myself!" " 262.8 Liu Ling is a heavy drinker. He often rides a deer cart and carries a pot of wine, and people follow him and say, "Bury me when you die. "At that time, the literati thought they were virtuous, and they worked hard for it. This is called letting go.
One day, Liu Ling offended a man because of a trivial matter. The man was aggressive, rolled up his sleeves and waved his fist in his face. Liu Ling smiled lazily: "Friend, can I afford a big fist in my chicken bone?" Hearing this, the man felt that his opponent was too powerful, turned into a wisp of smoke, shook his head and left. In The Book of Jin Liu Lingzhuan, a layman got drunk and was beaten away by his fist. Xu Ling said: "Chicken ribs are not enough to respect boxing." The man stopped laughing.
Another time, I was drunk outside and should lie down when I got home. But he still wanted to drink, yelling for his wife and children to bring wine. The wife was very annoyed and advised him: "Drinking too much will lead to short life, so why bother?" Hide the hip flask and force him to give up drinking. Liu Ling smiled and said, "You're right. I just haven't made up my mind. Today, I swear in front of ghosts and gods that I will give up. Please ask your wife to prepare some delicious food and wine for you. " The Book of Jin Liu Lingchuan tasted thirst and asked his wife for wine. When his wife donated wine to destroy the utensils, she sobbed and said, "You drink too much, or you will break it if it is not the way to keep fit." Ling said, "Good! I can't help it, but I should swear to the ghosts and gods. There can be wine and meat. " The wife followed it. Ling knelt down and said, "Sheng, she was named after wine. One glass of wine, one welcome, five games. Don't listen to women and children. " Also lead wine to royal meat, and suddenly drunk.
The wife was very happy, so she quickly cleaned up a table of fish and brought a pot of good wine to make him swear. Liu Ling bumbling, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing, while loudly ZhuGao:
Born in Liu Ling, in the name of wine;
One glass of wine, one welcome, five games. (Jay: enjoyable)
Be careful not to listen to women. ①
After reading it, I put the hip flask on my arm and sucked it dry at one breath.
Liu Ling has never been an official in his life, nor has he been involved in political turmoil. He stays away from bureaucrats and never talks about their right or wrong. Some people are "wise to preserve our health", and he can be regarded as "drunk and dreaming of death".
