Section 1 Metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties

During the reign of Taikang, the world was peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their economic life improved. At the same time, Emperor Wu of Jin also vigorously developed cultural undertakings, promoted national culture, and made certain contributions to the splendid culture of the ancient Chinese nation.

Metaphysics, as an independent title, began in Wei and Jin Dynasties. When it comes to metaphysics in later generations, it generally refers to metaphysics in Wei and Jin dynasties, which originated in the early days. Having said that, we have to mention three people, Yanhe, Xia Houxuan and Wang Bi.

The leader is Yanhe.

Born in Wanxian County, he was the grandson of Han general He Jin. Cao Cao took his mother Yin as his concubine, and like Qin Lang, he was adopted by Cao Cao and became his stepson. Yanhe is a famous handsome boy with a fair face. When he was young, he was famous for his talent show. He is old and outspoken, and is deeply loved by Cao Cao.

According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, Yanhe was very clever at the age of seven. Cao Cao liked him very much, so he took him to the palace and wanted to take him as his own son. Making peace is very clever, and he immediately understood what Cao Cao meant. He really doesn't think Cao Cao is noble, but he can't refuse directly. I found a place in the palace at an early age, drew a square and stood by myself. Someone asked him what he did, and he replied, This is my family name.

When Cao Cao heard about it, he immediately sent the peace out of the court and let him go home.

When Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, Yan He was only an idle official during his several years in power. Because he was not appreciated by Cao Pi, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to a person who had been in the center of power for a long time and had entrepreneurial passion.

The blow is a blow, but it also gives him a lot of leisure time to study his favorite philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, to try samurai powder and to talk about metaphysics with a group of frustrated talents.

The second role is: Xia Houxuan.

Xia Houxuan, this word is too early. Xia Houxuan's father is Xia Houshang, and his mother is Ye Zhen's sister and Wei Deyang's folks.

Speaking of the Xia Houxuan family, it's a tragedy.

Xia is my nephew and has a good relationship with Cao Pi. Later, Xia Houshang doted on his concubine, but neglected Xia Houxuan's mother, the owner of Deyang Town. The owner of Deyang Town returned to her mother's house and told her brother Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen reported Xia Houshang's household chores to Emperor Xelloss. At that time, Cao Zhen was Cao Wei Fu, and Xelloss was using Cao Zhen to deal with it! How can I distract my Fu from such a trivial matter? What's more, Xelloss likes to intervene in these trivial matters, so Xelloss ordered Xia Houshang's beloved concubines to be hanged. After the death of concubines, Xia Houshang was too sad and looked in a trance. He often ordered people to dig coffins and wept bitterly over the bodies of concubines. Soon, he also died of grief. Xia Houxuan's thought is estimated to have inherited his father's style of disregarding fame and teaching and not following the rules! Because Cao Shuang is the son of Cao Zhen, Xia Houxuan and Cao Shuang are actually cousins.

One of my sisters married the son of HeQIA, who didn't do business with Shangshu and Di, and gave birth to Hejin and his brother. Later, Hejin became a famous minister in the Jin Dynasty, and he worshipped his uncle Xia Houxuan very much.

Xia Houhui, another sister of Xia Houxuan, married Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi. According to the Book of Jin, Xia Houhui knew about Sima Shi's rebellion, and Xia Houhui's mother was Cao Zhen's sister, so when Cao Zhen had just died and Sima Yi had just become the supreme commander of the empire, Xia Houhui was brutally poisoned by Sima Shi.

In February of the second year of Qinglong, Zhuge Liang cut Wei for the fifth time. In March, Liu Xie died. In April, a major infectious disease occurred in Wei. In May, Wu attacked Wei on a large scale. In July, Wei Mingdi made a personal expedition to the south. In August, Zhuge Liang died of illness. In November, Luoyang earthquake. It can be said that Wei has been in turmoil in the first half of the year.

He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Imperial Northwest Military Region, boycotted Zhuge Liang, and passed on the resentment of military dissatisfaction to Wei Mingdi, forcing Wei Mingdi to send Xin Pi to snap. Bandang is not only a loyal minister, but also a traitor. Can Sima Jia be eager to make some preparations before the collapse of the empire? Xia Houxuan, Yanhe and Sima Shi also had a good time. Yanhe once commented on Xia Houxuan and Sima Shi: Xia Houxuan is a person who can see profound problems and understand world philosophy; It is Sima Shi who can handle world affairs well. I haven't met the second person who can deify the impossible and have the same goal.

At that time, Yanhe made such a distinction, and obviously listed Sima Shi as an inferior person. From then on, Sima Shi hated Yan He and was extremely jealous of Xia Houxuan.

When I was in Wei Mingdi, Zhuge Dan and Deng Biao liked to look at people and had a good relationship with Xia Houxuan. They called Xia Houxuan and others "four followers" and Zhuge Dan "the Eighth National Congress". Although the sons of Liu Fang, grandson and Wei Zhen are looked down upon by these people, they are also listed as "Yu" because of their father's identity.

Not only talking about metaphysics, but also Xia Houxuan's literary talent is very high. His "Le Yi Lun" was later written by Wang Xizhi and became a treasure.

The third person is Wang Bi. Wang Bi, born in Gaoping, Yang Shan.

Wang Bi is also very good. Two of the eight handsome men in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were related to him: his great-grandfather was Liu Biao; Its fifth ancestor is Wang Chang, who lives in the land of Sangong; And his stepfather is the famous RoyceWong. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Bi's grandfather Wang Kai and younger brother Wang Bi fled Jingzhou and took refuge in Liu Biao. Liu Biao attached great importance to RoyceWong's talent and wanted to marry her daughter to RoyceWong, but because she was ugly, she married her daughter to Wang Kai and gave birth to Wang Ye. Wang Ye gave birth to Wang Bi. Later, RoyceWong was the heir, and Wang Ye was the heir. Because RoyceWong was very memorable when he was young, 14 years old went to Chang 'an University. Cai Yong greeted him with upside-down shoes and gave RoyceWong thousands of books and articles. RoyceWong finally passed them on to Wang Bi.

Wang Bi likes to study Huang Lao since he was a child. At that time, celebrities discussed philosophical issues together, and everyone agreed that a certain truth was correct. When Wang Bi came, he repeatedly argued and overturned everyone's statement, and all the celebrities admired him. In the early years, Yanhe was promoted to be the official minister, which made him very famous in academic circles. At that time, Wang Bicai 15 years old, about 50 years old. But when I met Wang Bi, I greatly praised him and thought that he could discuss with himself the profound problems of the times between man and nature. Yanhe sighed and said: Zhong Ni called the afterlife awesome. If he is a man, he can be with him. So, what are they talking about? When people are alive, they always have to find a reason to live for themselves. The sunshine shines on the body like gold every day, and the clean air cleans the filth in the chest. So, is this the whole meaning of life? Maybe, maybe not.

However, for the extremely outstanding, intelligent and beautiful, knowledgeable and determined to make contributions, he was put aside and did nothing. Is it meaningful to eat and drink Lazar at sunrise and sunset every day? Family tragedy, frustration in officialdom, mediocrity and ruthlessness in real life also forced Xia Houxuan to stick his head out of the window for air. If you are not allowed to do things, you should live a good life, open a cultural salon, discuss philosophy and write a book. It's also very comfortable.
