Ji Kang (223-263): courtesy name Shuye, a native of Zhi County, Qiaojun (now Suzhou, Anhui). The leader of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove". A famous thinker, poet and musician in the late Wei Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, he was one of the representatives of metaphysics at that time. He was an upright person. He lost his father when he was young and was inspiring and diligent in learning. Later, he married Cao Cao's great-granddaughter (the daughter of Cao Lin). When the Cao family was in power, he held the official position of Zhongsan Dafu.
Ji Kang later came from a poor family, so he and Xiang Xiu often made a living by forging iron under the shade of trees. The noble son Zhong Youhui was good at discerning talents, but Ji Kang looked down upon his conduct. One day, Zhong Hui came to visit, but Ji Kang ignored him and just lowered his head to work. Zhong Hui stayed there for a long time and was about to leave. At this time, Ji Kang said: "What did you hear? Why did you leave? "Zhong Hui replied angrily: "Come here after hearing what you hear, leave after seeing what you see." After saying this, he walked away. Later, Zhong Hui hated Ji Kang deeply and often spoke ill of him in front of Sima Zhao.
Ji Kang loved music. He said in the preface to "Qin Fu": "Young Master Yu is good at the sound, and he has been accustomed to it for a long time. He thinks that things have their ups and downs but this does not change. The taste is boring, but he is not tired of it. ." He is very familiar with both traditional and contemporary Qin music, which can be seen in his "Qin Fu".
According to Liu Ji's "Qin Yi": Ji Kang learned "Guangling San" from Du Kui's son Du Meng. Ji Kang loved this piece of music very much and played it often, which attracted many people to ask for advice, but Ji Kang would not teach it. After Sima came to power, he refused to comply with his rule. He and Ruan Ji, Xiang Xiu, Shan Tao, Liu Ling, Ruan Xian and Wang Rong, known as the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", opposed Sima and were later killed by Sima. Fang Si died at the time of his death. Ten years old. Before his execution, three thousand imperial students interceded for him, but they were not allowed to do so. Before his death, he played this piece on his piano and sighed with emotion: "Guangling San" is now extinct. A molded portrait brick of Ji Kang was unearthed from the Southern Dynasties Tomb in Xishanqiao, Nanjing, depicting a majestic image of Ji Kang sitting on a banquet and playing the harp.
Ji Kang was very popular. Wang Rong said that he had been dating him for twenty years and had never seen him look bad. Therefore, he has the reputation of "distant in taste and open-minded in mind"; however, Ji Kang is also "strong-hearted, ill-willed, outspoken, and prone to anger when trouble arises." His love for "Guangling San" is a manifestation of his cynical, arrogant and rebellious character, and his contempt for Sima Zhao, which led to his death, is a clear example of this uprightness.
Ji Kang's literary creation is mainly poetry and prose. There are more than 50 of his poems in existence today, most of which are in four-character style, accounting for more than half.

"The Collection of Ji Kang" edited and annotated by Dai Mingyang was published by People's Literature Publishing House in 1962. In addition to proofreading and annotation, this book also collects deeds and critical materials about Ji Kang.
Poetry of deep indignation
I am sorry for myself. The less you suffer, the less you make. Sad and ignorant. Yue is in Qingwei. Mother and brother Ju Yu. Kind but not powerful. Relying on Worry Si Da. If you don’t train, you won’t be a teacher. Love and crown. Let yourself be pampered. Resistance to the ancient heart. Let him do as he pleases. Please take good care of Laozhuang. Cheap things are precious. Aim to keep things simple. Complete nourishment. Yu is not sensitive. Good and dark people. Ziyu's defeat. Repeatedly increase but dust. Lord Hanhong. Hide dirt and be ashamed. The people are so secluded. Government cannot be controlled by oneself. Only this kind of heart. Show Zang or not. Feeling guilty. Ta Ruo Chuang Hao. Having too few desires is a mistake. Debate boils over. Sex does not harm things. Frequent resentment. I was ashamed of Liu Hui in the past. I am ashamed of Sun Deng now. Having a negative mind within. A good friend outside. I admire Yan Zheng. Enjoy leisurely life. Have nothing to do with the world. The air is as bright as Yanru's. I am not kind to you. The baby is tired and has many dangers. Bandits descend from heaven. You are stubborn. Failures of management lead to problems. He died and was imprisoned. Answer the bad news. Don't worry about this. It's really shameful that I don't take part in lawsuits. Although it is said to be righteous and straight. The spirit is humiliated and the ambition is depressed. Take a bath in the waves. How can it be made up for? The geese sing. Fenyi travels north. Move with the times. Be proud and forget your worries. I sigh indignantly. No one has ever been able to do this. Unexpectedly. Yuanziyanliu. The poor have a destiny. What else can you ask for? The ancients have something to say. Don't be kind to someone close to your name. Be respectful and silent during the service. No regrets. Wan Shi Zhou Shen. Peace and prosperity. The world is full of chaos. Just disturb my love. Peace and happiness must be commanded. It is the ultimate benefit and chastity. Huanghuang Ganoderma lucidum. Three shows in a lifetime. What can I do alone? If you have ambition, you will not achieve it. Punishment is difficult and recovery is difficult. Feeling guilty. The concubine will come in the future. No fragrance or odor. Caiwei Mountain. Distributing rocks. Howling and chanting forever. Good health and long life.
This poem was written when Ji Kang was in prison. At that time, Ji Kang did not expect that he would be killed, so at the end of the poem he said that once he was out of trouble, he would stay away from the world, "Caiwei Mountain Ah. Send out the rock and chant forever." But Ji Kang offended too many villains, especially Zhong Hui, so he took this opportunity to take revenge on Ji Kang and urged Sima Zhao to kill him. From then on, Guangling disappeared.

"Ji Kang is a typical handsome man. "Rong Zhi" No. 14 in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" records: "Ji Kang is seven feet and eight inches tall and has a very handsome appearance. Those who saw it sighed and said: "Xiaoxiao is solemn, refreshing and clear." ’ Or it goes like this: ‘Serious as the wind under the pines, high and slow. ’ The monkey said: ‘Uncle Ji’s behavior at night is like a solitary pine standing alone; when he is drunk, his puppet is like a jade mountain about to collapse. '" That is to say, Ji Kang was tall and burly (Jin ruler seven feet and eight inches equivalent to 1.90M today), handsome, handsome, and everyone who met him said that he looked clear and straight, and was extremely tall, even when he was drunk. The Jade Mountain is about to fall. Chapter 14 of "Rong Zhi" also records that someone praised Wang Rong for his outstanding son, like a wild crane standing among the chickens, but Wang Rong said: "You haven't seen his father yet. Someone said to Wang Rong: "Ji Yan's ancestor Zhuozhuo is like a wild crane among the chickens." The answer was: "You have not seen his father's ears."), from which an idiom called " "Stand out from the crowd" is specially used to praise outstanding people. This also shows from the side that Ji Kang's appearance is not ordinary, but very outstanding. In short, he belongs to the image of a super cool man with both talent and appearance in Yushu Linfeng. Such a charming man, who is rare in the world, certainly has many star followers, so he was recruited by the royal family to be his son-in-law and marry Cao Cao's great-granddaughter, the owner of Changle Pavilion.
