Ji Kang's performance is more intense than Ruan Ji's, but his poetry achievement is not as good as Ruan Ji's. His poems pay attention to a pure and refined realm. Such as "reception poem" one:
Light running water, dying; As far as a white boat is concerned, the load floats and the load sinks. Whispering in the breeze, drums everywhere. If you throw a stick, you will die.
However, some of his poems, such as Answer to Er Guo, obviously show cynicism, especially the poem "Regret for the Past", which was written after Lu An was involved in prison. Described his unconventional hobbies and honest and frank personality, although he also blamed himself for "being exclusive and showing his ignorance", which led to "boiling slander", but he was determined not to change, and finally said that he would "pick Wei Mountain and send rock songs" and still express his hard bones gracefully. The "rigor" of poetic style can be seen here. His artistic achievements in four-character poems are higher than those in five-character poems.
Ji Kang's Breaking Up with the Mountain Residence is an essay with strong literary meaning and bold rebellious thoughts. The article said: "People are polite and the court has laws. From self-sufficiency to familiarity, seven can't stand it, and two can't. " Does his "seven who will be unbearable" mean contempt for emptiness? Ethics, "no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no", is openly against the legal system of the imperial court. The so-called "everyone is thin and boring" is precisely a public exposure of Sima's conspiracy to compete for political power. Still because? This letter, Sima finally killed him. This article runs through the attitude of rejecting Sima's decadent rule from beginning to end. He compared Dan Tao's recommendation of him as an official to "only shame to cut, lead the corpse to save himself;" Hand-recommended Luan Dao is full of pungent and ironic ability. He also said that Sima wanted to force him to be an official, and his heart was like an elk in the wild, "going through fire and water." Full text laughing and angry? Sharp and free and easy, it can show his stern and strong character.
