There is a short story about Ji Kang and Lu An, which I have to mention here. Ji Kang and Lu An have a very good relationship. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they will leave for each other as long as they miss each other, regardless of the distance, which just shows that people at that time were unrestrained and informal.
Once Lv An wanted to see Ji Kang, but he was not at home in front of his house. Although he was a little unhappy, he didn't complain. Ji Kang's brother Ji Xi was very happy when he saw Lu An coming. He went out to meet him, but Lu An didn't come into the house, just left a "phoenix" on the door and left.
Ji Xi didn't react, thinking that Lv An did it on purpose. In fact, apart from it, it is not difficult to find that this phoenix word is an ordinary bird. He thinks his brother is inferior to his brother. Later, someone used this metaphor to describe the situation of not meeting.
Ji Kang makes friends with his heart, and he cares about whether his temperament is compatible. From Lu An's contacts with Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, we can draw a conclusion that Ji Kang's brother was despised by the literati at that time because he was attached to Sima's nobles.
When Ji Xi mourned Ruan Ji's mother instead of his younger brother, he was not welcome. When Lu An wanted to meet Ji Kang and Ji Kang, he was said to be an ordinary person. Ji Kang entrusted his affairs to his friend Dan Tao before he died, but he didn't tell his brother. This is also the reason.
Ji Kang and Ji Xi are brothers, but they have different interests, so Ji Kang's real friend is Lu An. Ruan Ji is such a like-minded person, so the communication between Ji Kang and Lu An should be based on mutual appreciation, otherwise it is impossible to become friends.
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.
Ji Kang's Reception Poem "Reception Poem" is a five-character poem written by Ji Kang during the Three Kingdoms period. The whole poem is about Ji Kang, seven sages of bamboo forest, and an honest life. The first half of the poem is about the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It can be seen that the poet produced this feeling of acceptance in an extremely relaxed state of mind.
Ji Kang's Acceptance Poems
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 feeling of * * * color has also fallen into thinking from the original 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 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?
Ji Kang's dear John letter Ji Kang's dear John letter is addressed to Dan Tao, an official of Sima's family. As the seven sages of the bamboo forest, they deeply felt that the dynasty ruled by Sima was fatuous and decided not to be an official for the rest of their lives and to pursue a more noble life. However, as his friend, Ji Kang broke the contract first, which was unacceptable.
Ji kang's dear John letter
At the beginning of the dear John letter, he showed his different position from Yamahara. He feels that good karma has no shame. Ji Kang used the example of his grandfather to enlighten good karma. Dear John's letter was originally used to invite Dan Tao to be an official, but it was politely declined, but Ji Kang expressed his wishes in the article.
From discussing the general direction of life to the small point of friendship, Ji Kang blames the other party for doing something wrong to his friends. On the surface, his writing is fluent and eloquent, but his logic is strong. Ji Kang's writing style bears a strong imprint of the times. On the one hand, influenced by the writing of literati in the late Han Dynasty, the articles are generally concise and thorough, on the other hand, the literati are arrogant, and this idea will penetrate into the articles.
Influenced by subjective emotions, Ji Kang expressed his incomprehension of his friend's decision, hoping to awaken his friend's heart and not be confused by his official career.
From the dear John letter, we can see that Ji Kang blames Dan Tao for not knowing himself, but does this mean that Ji Kang doesn't know Dan Tao? Although Dan Tao is not as bohemian as Ji Kang, his prudence and integrity in middle age are indeed the expression of Ji Kang's trust in him.
Ji Kang entrusted his son to Dan Tao before he died. This is his understanding of Dan Tao, Ji Kang's noble inaction and Dan Tao's elegance and solemnity, all of which are the best poems for Wei and Jin figures.
At the end of Cao Wei, when Ji Kang entrusted the Three Kingdoms, Sima Group made the officialdom extremely corrupt in order to compete for political power. Many talented people are unwilling to work for the country, and seven accomplished literati set an example.
Ji Kang entrusted orphans.
They often wander in the bamboo forest, sometimes singing and drinking, sometimes playing the piano and singing and dancing, trying to find peace in troubled times. This is the famous seven sages of bamboo forest in history.
On the surface, the imperial court at that time was the descendant of Cao Cao, but in fact it was Si Mazhao who seized power. In order to expand his power, he asked Dan Tao, the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest, to be an official, because Si Mazhao's grandmother was Dan Tao's cousin's grandmother, and Dan Tao could not refuse, so he had to agree.
Later, Dan Tao came to please Ji Kang and asked him to be an official in the court. Ji Kang was very angry. He thought his first friend was in vain, and he vowed eternal love. Now, with Dan Tao Jun, your words and deeds will go up in smoke. Go, follow the splendor of the world, let me stick to our paradise alone, and let me be a lonely and helpless hermit. Go ahead, I don't blame you.
Ji Kang not only condemned, but also criticized Sima Group at that time. Dan Tao knew that Ji Kang was upright and lofty, and his reproach to himself was only an exhortation. He didn't take it to heart, and he still kept close contact with Ji Kang, but he buried hidden dangers. Si Mazhao has a bad impression of Ji Kang.
Someone framed Ji Kang and spoke ill of him in front of Si Mazhao. Si Mazhao arrested Ji Kang and put him to death. Ji Kang entrusted his ten-year-old son to Dan Tao before he died. Dan Tao agreed in tears and decided to protect the child, even at the cost of his life.
Facts have proved that Dan Tao is a person who attaches great importance to feelings and justice. He is not afraid of Si Mazhao treating it as a person with Ji Kang and taking care of Ji Kang's son as his own.
