Ji Kang (223---262), whose courtesy name was Shuye, was from Wei Qiaojun, Santong (southwest of today's Suxian County, Anhui Province). Jikang lost his father in his early years and his family was poor, but he was still motivated and diligent in his studies. He became erudite and talented. He was proficient in literature, metaphysics, music, etc. and made extraordinary achievements. Zeng Guan worshiped as the doctor of Zhongsan, and it was also known as "Ji Zhongsan" in the world. As a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Ji Kang was one of the famous "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove". The poems that evaluate Ji Kang's arrogance and unyielding mainly include the following poems:
1. Luanhe sometimes becomes weak, who can tame the dragon nature? ——Jin Yan Yanzhi's "Ode to the Five Lords"
Original poem: Zhongsan is not born by accident, and he is originally a white meal of Xia people. The form can be understood by the silent celestial being, and the utterances can be understood and concentrated. Establishing customs and popular opinions, looking for mountains and secluded places. Luanhe sometimes gets angry, who can tame the dragon nature?
2. This man has been dead for a long time, and his deeds are very obvious. ——"Miscellaneous Feelings" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
Original poem: Brother Lu An was unethical, so the city killed Ji Kang. This man has been dead for a long time, and his deeds are very obvious. You have no control over right and wrong, and disasters can be prevented. After a thousand years, my clothes will be filled with tears.
3. Therefore, the dispersion in Ji Zhong will be weak in Yin and Zhou Dynasties until death. ——"Ode to History" by Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty
Original poem: The two Han Dynasties followed the Shao period, and the new room was like a wart. Therefore, Ji Zhong dispersed and died in Yin and Zhou Dynasties.
4. I would rather die with the fragrance on the branches than blow it down in the north wind. ——"Painting Chrysanthemums" by Zheng Sixiao of the Song Dynasty
(Although this poem praises the chrysanthemum for its pride and frost, it can also be used to evaluate Ji Kang's pride and unyielding spirit)
Original poem: The flowers cannot bloom There are hundreds of flowers, and the independent and sparse fences are very interesting. I would rather die holding the fragrance on the branches than blow it down in the north wind.
5. Kong Rong died and his morale was depleted; Ji Kang died and the Qing Dynasty was defeated. ——Wang Fuzhi of the Ming Dynasty, "Du Tongjian Lun", Volume 12
Excerpt from the original text: The people of the Fu and Jin Dynasties were arrogant and extravagant, and the famous religion was destroyed in a day. That's why. The comprehensive review of Wei's government was demanding on merit and neglecting integrity, and the world no longer knew its name; Jin inherited it with leniency, and the integrity became more and more indifferent. Kong Rong died and his morale was depleted, Ji Kang died and the Qing Dynasty was eliminated. The famous religion was tabooed by the world, and it was no shame to join in the evil. Those who take worldly affairs as their heart will be praised by Mao for their loyalty and integrity, such as Zhang Hua, Fu Xian, and Liu Yi. Otherwise, those who advocate vanity and flee from gains and losses to avoid harm are like Ruan Ji, Wang Yan, and Yue Guang. The two are in competition, but the general principles of establishing a country and the important details of establishing a body are left behind. Which one relies on deep maintenance and prevention for the survival of a country? Therefore, I am not ashamed to be with Jia Chong, and I am not shy to compare with Yang Jun. If this is the case, even if you get the winner, it will be difficult to hold on to it for eternity. What’s more, Emperor Hui’s stupidity is unmatched! When Dong Yang was promoted to the Imperial Academy, he rejoiced and said: "Now that the principles of heaven and man are complete, great chaos will ensue.
"You are sincere in what you say!
