Kang Bai: The first step used to call me Yingchuan, and I often called it Know My Words. However, it is strange that this idea is not familiar with the first step. How can we get it? When I came back from Hedong the year before last, Xian Zong and A both said that they should go first and discuss their own generation. Although things can't be done, you won't know if you are satisfied. The first step is to pass by, but more can be blamed; I'm straight and narrow. I can't bear it. I know each other with one step. I didn't like it when I heard that I was moving down. I'm afraid I'll be ashamed of being cut by others. I hope to help myself by introducing a corpse and recommending a knife in my hand. Therefore, this is the first step for Chen Qi.
People who used to study and be introduced, or say nothing, now I believe that it really has ears. Sex is unbearable, but it is really not strong. Today's vague language is full of knowledge and talent, which is unbearable. External is not unusual, internal is correct. Like the whole life, just regret. Laozi, Zhuang Zhou, my teacher, also live in humble posts; Liu Xiahui and Dong Fangshuo, as well as talented people, are all humble. How dare I be short! Zhong Ni loves everything and is not ashamed of flogging; If there is no desire, the three boards make yin. Yes, it is a gentleman's intention to think about the economy. The so-called "reaching" means being both good and firm, while being poor means being complacent and boring. From this point of view, the monarch of Yao and Shun, the rock habitat of Yao and Shun, the assistant of ovary and the trip of Song are one of them. Looking up to a few princes can be described as people who can fulfill their ambitions. Therefore, a gentleman can do anything, all roads lead to the same goal, follow nature, and have their own security. So there is a theory that there is a court that does not go out into the mountains and does not return. And the wind of Gao Yanling's son Zang, evergreen, is like a festival, and the ambition entrusted by him cannot be taken away. Every time I read the biographies of Shang Zi Ping Tai, I admire them and think they are human beings. Less lonely dew, mother and brother see arrogance, not involved in Confucian classics. No matter how lazy you are, your muscles are sluggish, and you often don't wash your hair and face on 1 month 15; It's not boring or itchy, so you can't take a shower. I can't help urinating every time, and my ears turn slightly. I have lived for a long time, and my feelings are arrogant. Simplicity and politeness are opposites, laziness and slowness complement each other, and I am lenient and don't attack my peers. Read "Zhuang" and "Lao" again and add more. Therefore, Jin Rong's heart is getting weaker and weaker, and the feelings of the stone man turned to Benedict. This rare tame Jewish bird and deer obeys Christianity; If you look at the shackles for a long time, you will be crazy about tassels and go to the soup; Although there is a golden bodyguard decoration and a feast of delicacies, the more I want to grow forests, the more I aim at abundant grass.
Ruan Sizong's mouth is that no matter what others say, I learn from every teacher, but I can't. It's not harmful to things to be extraordinary, but it's too bad to drink. It is brought by the people of etiquette, and it is as sick as hatred. Fortunately, the general saved his ears. I am not as good as Munenosuke, but I lack relaxation; I don't understand human feelings, I am suitable; There is no caution, but there are fatigue, long-term contact with things, and growth defects. Although you want to be safe, can you get it? People are polite, the court has laws and is self-sufficient. There are seven things that you can't stand. The second thing is not: lying late, but when it is cancelled, it can't stand it. Singing and fishing in the wild with musical instruments, guarded by officials and soldiers, are not allowed to move arbitrarily and are unbearable. If you sit in danger for a while, your numbness will not shake, and your sex will be more lice. I couldn't catch it myself, but I was wrapped in a chapter and worshipped Shangguan, which was unbearable. It's not convenient to write, and I don't like to write. But there are many things in the world, and if you don't pay each other, then sin will hurt your righteousness. If you push yourself, it won't last long, and it will be miserable. I don't like mourning, but humanitarianism is very important. I have been complained by those who have not forgiven. I want to see the injured. Although Qu Ran blames himself, his nature cannot change. He has to be obedient to the customs, so ungrateful, and he will never get rid of the grievances, so unbearable. I don't like laity, but when it comes to things, or guests sit, sing and scream, everything changes. At present, six people are unbearable. The heart is impatient, but the official business is in hand, and the maintenance is entangled in the heart, and things are complicated. Every time it is not thin weeks and holes, this is not only in the world, but it will be obvious that this is unacceptable in the world. You are sick in the intestines, outspoken, and angry when something happens. This is different. In order to carry forward the nature of prudence and independence and unify these nine diseases, there is no external difficulty. When there are internal diseases, it is better to look forward to the evil in the world. I also heard the Taoist priest's last words, bait Yuzhu, make people live longer, I believe it very much. I'm glad to come to Shanze to see the fish and birds. If you are an official, it will be abolished. You can give up if you like it, and you can be afraid if you are afraid!
Knowing your wife's nature, you can help her. I don't force Bo to become a child, but all my festivals are also; Zhong Ni is not fake in summer, keep it short; Near, don't force Yuan to take Shu directly, Hua Ziyu is not strong, young and weak. This can be described as a beginning and an end, and the truth is known. The first step is to see that straight wood can't make wheels and bent wood can't make chariots, and Gai doesn't want to waste his genius. Therefore, the four people have their own careers, and they all enjoy success. Only those who can achieve can pass; This foot bends the inner ear. Don't be complacent, Zhang Fu, who is better than who. I'm smelly and rotten, and I want to raise a small honeymoon to die. I learned the art of keeping in good health, let myself shine outside, lose my taste, wander in loneliness and value inaction. Even if there are no nine evils, I still don't care about the first step. I'm depressed again, and I'm more and more embarrassed. I'm trying to do it myself, and I can't be so unhappy as I am now. Since I have tried divination, if the road is exhausted, I will hear something. There is nothing wrong with the first step, let it turn to the ravine.
The new news that I lost my mother and brother is often sad. The woman is thirteen and the man is eight. She is underage and very ill. I don't care about this. Today, I hope to keep the humble hutongs and educate my children and grandchildren; When I was getting old, I separated from the rich, and Chen said that I had a lifetime. Drink a glass of turbid wine, play the piano and volunteer to finish it. If you don't make mistakes, you want to be an official. If you are good, use your ears. The first step is to know that you are poor and careless, not as good as today's talents. If the layman likes glory, he can leave alone, which will be faster; This is the latest, so to speak. However, it is valuable to make your talents broad and all-inclusive, but you can't camp. If I am sick and sleepy, I just want to leave those things alone to save the rest of my life, which is really lacking. Can you see the yellow door? It's called true slaughter! If you are interested in going to the king, you will be happy when you are interested in each other; Once forced, it will cause madness. Self-blame is heavy, not this.
Man Zi, who has a quick back and a beautiful Qin son, wants to offer the supreme. Although it is only a little interesting, it is already sparse. I wish I didn't like it. That's what it means, not only to solve the first step, but also to think otherwise. Ji

Ji Kang sincerely: In the past, you said in front of Shan Yu that I didn't want to be an official, and I often took it as a confidant. But I find it strange that you don't know me very well. Where did you learn about my interest? When I came back from Hedong the year before last, Xian Zong and A Du told me that you had planned to let me take your place. Although it didn't happen, you know you didn't know me before. You are good at dealing with emergencies, praising people more and criticizing people less; I am straightforward and narrow-minded. I can't stand many things. I just make friends with you by chance. I was worried when I heard about your promotion recently. I'm afraid you're embarrassed to be an official alone, and you want to help me as an assistant, just as a chef is embarrassed to cook alone and wants to help a priest. This is equivalent to letting me hold a butcher knife and smell fishy, so I asked you if you could do it.
When I was studying, I heard that there was a person in Gengjie who could help the world, lonely and upright. I always thought it was impossible, but now I really believe it. Personality determines that some people can't stand certain things, so there is no need to force them. Now everyone says that there is an understanding person who can tolerate everything. They are no different from ordinary secular people in appearance, but they can still keep the right path in their hearts and go on with the secular without regret, but this is just empty talk. Laozi and Zhuang Zhou are both people I study, and their status is very low; Liu Xiahui and Dong Fangshuo are both knowledgeable people, and they are both in a humble position. How can I despise them? Another example is Confucius' advocacy of fraternity and selflessness. In order to pursue morality, he won't feel ashamed even if he whips and drives. Wen Zi didn't want to be a minister, but he ascended the high position of Lingyin three times. This is the intention of a gentleman to help the people. This is also what the predecessors said: when you are prominent, you can be good at the world without changing your will, and when you are frustrated, you can be alone without feeling depressed. Judging from the above reasoning, Yao and Shun were emperors, who lived in seclusion in the mountains, assisted the Han Dynasty and sang to persuade Confucius. Their lifestyles were the same. Look at these people, it can be said that they can realize their ambitions. Therefore, although a gentleman's behavior is different from the road he takes, he can achieve the same goal. If you follow your own nature, you can get your own inner destination. Therefore, some people who are senior officials in the imperial court can't go out because of their positions. The saying that people who live in seclusion in the mountains do not return because of their names. Ji Zha admired Zi Zang's noble sentiment, while Sima Xiangru worshipped Lin Xiangru's integrity to pin his ambition. There's no way to change it. Whenever I read the biographies of Shang Zi and Ping Tai, I admire them very much and often think of their noble sentiments. Plus, I lost my father when I was young, and my body is relatively thin. My mother and my brother spoil me very much and don't read the classics of self-cultivation and official career. I am lazy and lax, my bones and muscles are sluggish, my hair and face are often washed for a month and a half, and I don't feel particularly bored and itchy. I don't want to wash them. Urinating often makes the bladder swell, and it almost turns over before getting up and going to the toilet. Because I have been addicted for too long, my temperament has become aloof and sloppy, and my behavior is simple and slow, which goes against etiquette. But laziness and arrogance complement each other, which are tolerated by my peers and never blamed. I watched Zhuangzi and Laozi again, encouraging myself to be wild and uninhibited. Therefore, the enthusiasm for pursuing official promotion and glory is weakening day by day, while the nature of laissez-faire is strengthening day by day. It's like an elk. If you are caught and tamed at an early age, you will obey your master's discipline. If you are bound when you grow up, you will jump around madly, trying to break free from the rope that binds it, even if you go through fire and water; Although he got a golden halter and the most exquisite feed, he still strongly missed the dense forest and beautiful herbs he was used to living in.
Ruan Ji never talks about other people's faults. I often want to learn from him, but I can't. He is naturally more honest than ordinary people, and there is no harm in treating people. Only drinking is his weakness. As a result, he was attacked by people who maintained etiquette and hated him like an enemy. Fortunately, he was protected by the general. I have no Ruan Ji's talent, but I have the shortcomings of arrogance and laziness; Do not understand the world, will not improvise; There is a lack of caution like Wan, but there is a problem that is straightforward and taboo. If you are exposed to personnel for a long time, things that offend people will happen every day. Although I want to avoid disasters, how can I do it? There are certain courtesies between the monarch and his subjects, father and son, husband and wife, brothers and friends, and the state has certain written laws. I have considered them carefully, but there are seven things I can't stand, and there are two things I can't do under any circumstances: I like to sleep late, but when I become an official, the officers will wake me up, which is the first thing I can't stand. I like to walk and sing with the piano, or go bird hunting and fishing in the suburbs. After becoming an official, officials and soldiers will always be by my side, so I can't act at will. This is the second thing I can't stand. When you become an official, you should sit up straight in the office, your legs and feet are numb and you can't move freely. I have so many lice that I have to scratch all the time. I have to put on my official uniform and say hello to my superiors. This is the third thing I can't stand. I have never been good at writing letters, and I don't like writing letters. But after I become an official, I have to deal with many secular things. Documents and letters piled up on the desk. If I don't socialize, I will violate ethics and lose my manners. If I seldom socialize, it won't last long. This is the fourth thing I can't stand. I don't like going out to mourn, but the whole world attaches great importance to this matter. My behavior was resented by those who refused to forgive me, and some even tried to slander me. Although I am alert to this and blame myself, I still can't change my nature. I want to restrain my nature and adapt to the world, but I don't want to go against my nature. I can't get neither blame nor praise as I do now. This is the fifth thing I can't stand. I don't like laity, but after I become an official, I will work with them, or the guests will be full and full of noisy voices. In a noisy and dirty environment, I can see all kinds of strange tricks all day. This is the sixth thing I can't stand. I am impatient by nature, but after I became an official, my business was busy, government affairs pestered me all day, and secular communication consumed me a lot of energy, which was the seventh thing I couldn't stand. Besides, I often say things that criticize Cheng Tang, Zhou Wuwang and despise Duke Zhou and Confucius. If I don't stop this discussion after I become an official, one day it will be made public and well known, which is unacceptable to secular ethics. This is the first thing I can't do anyway. Stubborn personality, hate bad guys, speak recklessly, call a spade a spade, and lose his temper when he meets something he doesn't like. This is the second thing I can't do under any circumstances. With my narrow-minded personality and the nine problems mentioned above, even if there is no foreign invasion, I will definitely get sick. How can we live in the world for a long time? I also heard from Taoist that taking medicine and yellow essence can make people live longer. I believe it very much. Fish and birds who like to travel and enjoy nature are very satisfied with this life; Once you become an official, you lose the fun of this life. How can you give up what you are willing to do and do what you are afraid to do?
When people become good friends, it is important to understand each other's nature and then fulfill him. Yu Xia didn't force Bo Chengzi to be an official, in order to fulfill his moral integrity; Confucius didn't borrow an umbrella from Xia Zi to cover up Xia Zi's shortcomings. Recently, Zhuge Liang did not force Xu Shu to go to Shu Han, nor did Hua Xin force Ning Guan to accept Qing Xiang's position. These talents can be said to be good friends who are consistent and truly understand each other. You see, straight wood can't be a wheel, and curved wood can't be a rafter. This is because people don't want to compromise their original nature and let them get their place. Therefore, scholars, farmers, workers and businessmen all have their own majors, and they can all realize their ambitions happily. Only knowledgeable people can understand this, which should be what you expect. You can't wear a gorgeous hat just because you like it, but people who barely cross the country have to wear it; I like rotten and smelly food and feed dead mice to young honeymooners. Recently, I am learning the method of keeping in good health. I am alienating myself from splendor, abandoning exquisiteness, feeling quiet and calm, and pursuing the highest state of "inaction". Even without the "nine evils" mentioned above, I still despise those things you like. I have a feeling of boredom, which has become more serious recently. I can't stand things I don't want to do. I have made it very clear that if there is no way out, forget it. Don't wronged me and leave me in a desperate situation.
I just lost the love of my mother and brother, and I often feel sad. The daughter is only thirteen and the boy is only eight. He is not an adult and often falls ill. It makes me sad and annoying to think about this. Really don't know where to start! Now I hope to live a plain and poor life, educate my children well, tell my relatives and friends about my parting feelings at any time, talk about my family, drink a glass of light wine and play a piano, so that my wish will be satisfied. You pester me just to find someone for the court to make him useful to the world. You know I'm careless and unreasonable. I think I'm not as good as the wise men in Korea now. If I think all secular people like wealth, but only I can abandon it and feel happy about it; So, it can be said that it is closest to my nature. If you are a talented, generous person who knows everything but doesn't make progress, that is valuable. People like me, who are often ill and want to stay away from the world in order to save their lives and spend their old age safely, just lack the noble qualities mentioned above. How can they see eunuchs and boast that they are chaste people? If you are in a hurry to ask me to be an official with you and want to recruit me, then stay together often. Once you persecute me, I will go crazy. If there were no deep hatred, I don't think things would have come to this.
Shan Ye people think sunbathing is the most enjoyable thing and celery is the most beautiful food, so they want to dedicate it to the monarch. Although sincere, it is too unrealistic. I hope you don't like them. I mean, I am writing this letter not only to make things clear to you, but also to say goodbye to you. Ji Kang sincerely welcomes you.
Brief introduction of the author
Ji Kang (223-262, or 224-263) was born in Luoxian County, Qiaoxian County (now southwest of Suixi, Anhui Province). One of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest". In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei was a Chinese doctor and was called "scattered in the middle". He is the son-in-law of Cao Wei's imperial clan. He is knowledgeable, friendly, upright, brave and ambitious. Because he refused to cooperate with Sima Shi, who was in power at that time, he mocked and attacked their hypocritical etiquette, which directly violated the crime of Si Mazhao and his followers trying to seize the Cao Shi regime under the guise of etiquette and was wrongly executed. When he was executed: first, 3,000 Thai students asked him to be a teacher, which showed his prestige in the society at that time; The second is to play "Guangling San" and die calmly. Ji Kang lost his father in his early years, and his family was poor, but he was still inspirational and diligent, and he learned a lot in literature, metaphysics and music. Metaphysics flourished and returned to nature in the late Wei and Jin Dynasties. Ji Kang yearned for a detached and adaptive life, which turned the spiritual realm of metaphysics into the realm of the world. His literary creation is mainly poetry and prose. There are more than fifty of his poems, most of which are four-character poems, accounting for more than half. Representative works include 18 "Giving Scholar to Join the Army" and "Poems of Distressed Anger". Ji Kang often shows strong cynicism in his poems, so some of his poems are straightforward, cynical and sharp-edged, showing the characteristics of being sober and alert. Some of his other poems contain metaphysical elements, such as "I am complacent when I vote, I am too mysterious when I swim, and I forget the fish when I am happy". All these have weakened the vividness of his poetic images to some extent. But in general, Ji Kang's poems, especially four-character poems, still have a considerable position in the history of literature. His prose is good at arguing, novel in thought, intensive in analysis, sharp in writing and often full of cynicism. Ji Kang's book "Economic History of Sui Shu" records 13 and 15 volumes. The original collection in the Song Dynasty was lost, and only 10 volume was left. The number of volumes in Ming Dynasty is the same as that in Song Dynasty, but the number of articles is reduced. Common Ming editions include San Ji in Jizhong by Wang Shixian (included in 20 masterpieces of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties) and San Ji in Jizhong by Zhang Pu (included in 103 collections of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties). 1924 compilation of Lu Xun, 1938 income "Complete Works of Lu Xun" Volume 9. Ji, proofread by Dai, published by People's Literature Publishing House, 1962. In addition to proofreading and annotation, this book also collects stories and critical materials about Ji Kang.
Appreciation: pure and solemn, unconventional and unruly.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a famous literati group was active, which was called "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" at that time, namely Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Dan Tao, Liu Ling, Xiang Xiu, Ruan Xian and Wang Rong. At that time, politics faced a storm of regime change. The political tendency of the "seven sages" is pro-Wei. Later, Sima family became increasingly prosperous, Wei family declined, and the outcome was clear, so they separated. Dan Tao and Ji Kang are both figures in the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest". They used to be good friends, but Dan Tao didn't really become a hermit, and he died of old age. When he was young, he once said to his wife, "Hungry and cold! I will treat you as a just husband in the future. I wonder if your wife will listen? " Later, because of his nepotism with Xuan Muhou (Sima Yi's wife), he became an official of Sima's family. In the second year of Jingyuan (26 1), in order to further stabilize his position, Dan Tao not only loyal to Si Mazhao, but also "reconciled" with Pei Xiu, Zhong Hui (then a captain), an important military and political official of Sima family, and Zhong Hui was the key figure in Jingyuan's killing of Ji Kang. Si Mazhao's ambition to usurp Cao Wei's political power was well known during the reign of Gonggan Road in the aristocratic township. Ji Kang certainly knew how Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang, and he also witnessed the horror of Ji Cheng's killing of the noble township public in the first year of Jingyuan (260). In the second year of Jingyuan (26 1), after Dan Tao was promoted to assistant minister of official department, he wanted to promote Ji Kang for himself. As we all know, the duty of the official department minister is to prepare Sima to usurp power and accompany him to the throne. He is not qualified for this position unless he does something that harms others and does not benefit himself. Therefore, Ji Kang, who was "just sick in his heart", had to write a letter to Dan Tao, who was "neither an official nor a hermit" (Sun Chuo's language), so he wrote this famous letter of breaking up with Shan Juyuan, showing his attitude and expressing his contempt for Shan Juyuan and dissatisfaction with the dark situation.
This letter is divided into five paragraphs, with distinct levels and distinct context. The first paragraph is from the beginning to "Therefore, this is the first step for Chen Qi." Cut to the chase and explain the reasons for breaking up. At first, it was really "I'm narrow-minded, and I can't bear it." "One step knows the ear" and "One step doesn't know". The way to make friends is to get to know each other. It is clearly stated here that Dan Tao and I don't know each other. Obviously, the basis for announcing the exchange no longer exists. Then I pointed out the reason for writing this letter: "I'm afraid I'm ashamed, and I'd like to recommend a corpse and a sword in my hand." Therefore, this is the first step for Chen Qi. "The allusion to' crossing the line' here is very vivid. This classic is based on Zhuangzi's Free Travel. I used to run errands for the teacher, but I took the initiative to bring a chef instead. Ji Kang easily changed his point of view, saying that the chef dragged the priest into the water and completely changed the moral of the story. Ji Kang particularly emphasized the word "shame": I would like you to give me a corpse to help me, because he feels guilty inside, because what he did is cruel and dirty. He suddenly touched a sensitive place in Dan Tao's soul. The use of this allusion here has a wonderful effect of "taking a warning". The use of allusions in writing has always been divided into "dead classics" and "living classics". Like Ji Kang, painting at will and using it for me is a good example of success. At this point, the basic difference with Shanjuyuan has been clearly pointed out. Let's further develop our own views.
The second paragraph, from "I used to study, and I found a good job" to "The more I think about the forest, the more I want to be rich in grass". The author puts forward the principle of getting along with others. At first, this paper lists eleven historical figures, such as Laozi and Zhuangzhou, and through the comments on their deeds, expounds the truth of "moving with nature, each has his own security". On the surface, Ji Kang has nothing to do with being an official or retiring. He praised Dan Tao as a "mediator". However, after reading the above, it is not difficult to understand the moral. Since under such circumstances, the official is inevitably contaminated with blood, then the "nature" of the official is self-evident. Therefore, "mediator" is a bitter irony. Of course, this irony is completely silent, but the other party knows it and has a fever on his face. When the ancients said "needles in cotton" and "thorns in mud", they meant this implicit irony. After expounding the general principle of "let nature take its course", the author changed his pen: "Besides, the wind of Gao Yanling's son's hiding, respecting each other for a long time, is entrusted by his will and cannot be taken away." It is pointed out that the life path chosen by people according to their honest nature cannot be forcibly changed. Then he described his nature and living conditions. After writing about some of his extremely lazy living habits, he used a metaphor: "This Jewish deer, rarely tamed, obeys the religious system;" If you look at the shackles for a long time, you will be crazy about tassels and go to the soup; Although decorated with golden bodyguards and delicious food, I think more about the forest, aiming to enrich the grassland. "What an image! The bird understood the word at once. The author compares himself to a wild and untamed deer. He said to Dan Tao: Yes, you can get "golden bodyguard" and "delicacies"-wealth and splendor, but I also know the price, which means sacrificing my most precious thing-"thinking more about the forest and aiming for abundant grass". Therefore, I would rather go through fire and water than this wealth trap. Writing here, there is no need to make abstract comments. The author has vividly described his noble and upright attitude towards life and his position of not compromising with evil forces. However, the author refused to write it.
The third paragraph is from "Ruan Sizong is outspoken" to "An Neng gives up what he likes and fears!" He further enumerated Ruan Ji's persecution and pointed out that his contradiction with court etiquette was more acute. Ji Kang summed up these contradictions into nine articles, that is, the famous "those who are inevitably unbearable are seven, and those who are not unbearable are ten." These nine articles stand side by side, rolling and running, and there is no room for the other party to have a say. Ji Kang's proud image of "Who can tame the dragon" is also presented to readers. This "seven can't, two can't" seems a bit crazy to us today, but at that time, it was caused by arrogance and political struggle. It is not surprising that the so-called "erudite as crazy" and "not crazy is impossible". In this passage, the author presents two living environments: one is that Dan Tao tries to drag him in, that is, "the official business is in the palm of his hand", "the noisy place is full of tricks", "shocking" and "don't move"; One is what he yearns for, that is, "fishing in the grass with one piano and one singing" and "watching fish and birds in the mountains". In contrast, it goes without saying that what is turbid and what is clear. At this point, the author's own life purport and refusal to cooperate have been fully described. In particular, the article "Not Thin Zhou and Kong" is tantamount to a declaration of breaking with Zoroastrianism and Sima Group, which take Zoroastrianism as the ruling tool. This article later became an important cause of his death. It turns out that in ancient China, anyone who wanted to usurp power politically used Tang Wu and Duke Zhou to cover up his usurpation, pretending to obey and imitating Cheng Tang and Wu Zhou, which was the theoretical basis and fig leaf for their usurpation. After killing the noble township public, he also defended himself with "respecting the right of Zhou" and "the difficulty of securing the country"; Ruan Ji wrote "Jin Wang Jian Shu" for Zheng Chong, based on the fact that "in the past, according to Yin Er, one soup was given a helping hand, and then it was born with Ah Heng; Duke of Zhou praised Si Mazhao for his promotion and died a fair death, saying that he had a stable career, lived in Qufu and won a turtle in the election. In contrast, it is no wonder that the sentence "not but Bo Zhou and Kong" can offend so much that he wants to kill Ji Kang.
The fourth part, from "a lady knows her own nature" to "the first step was not wrong, so she turned to the ravine", and turned to the other side, blaming her for making friends carelessly. After enumerating the four ancient and modern sages who "know their reason" and "know their nature, so help them", the author adopted the method of restraining first and then promoting. He preached: this truth can only be understood by knowledgeable people. Of course, you know. At first glance, it seems to be a promise of "success", but then there comes a big turning point: "You can't be complacent, but you are better than others." I am addicted to stink and rot, and I raise young children to die. "It's like pointing your nose at Dan Tao: I thought you were a good friend, but you were like that stupid guy who forced the Vietnamese to wear a flowered hat, like an owl who ate carrion. These two sentences are really enjoyable, which is the expression of Ji Kang's true nature of "stiff intestines and pathogenic factors". If the irony at the beginning still hits the nail on the head, this is tit for tat. From this, we can imagine the growing anger of the author when writing.
At the end, the author talked about his future plans, saying that he would "leave those things alone to protect the rest of his life". This part is a little sharp. Because he is the leader of the occasion and the object of Sima's suspicion, he has to keep a low profile. But the attitude is still firm: "Once forced, it will be crazy, and it will not be like this." You can say that you would rather die than work. And the feeling of contempt for Dan Tao is still endless, so I stabbed him again at the end of the article: the savage enjoys basking in the sun on his back and takes celery as a delicacy to give to the king. Although sincere, it is unreasonable. "I hope this is not the first step." Quiet again, just teasing. Liu Yuxi said: "Eight tones and political communication, articles contend with the times." Breaking Up with Juyuan Mountain is a mirror of political thoughts in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Intuitively, breaking up with Shan Juyuan is Ji Kang's full self-confession, which not only describes his "let nature take its course" lifestyle, but also shows his arrogant and stubborn personality. However, the cognitive significance of "Breaking Up with Mountain Juyuan" does not stop there. On the one hand, we can appreciate the dark and sinister political atmosphere at that time from Ji Kang's angry words. On the other hand, Ji Kang is the leader of "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", and he has high prestige and considerable influence among scholars. Therefore, the life purport and mental state described in Breaking Up with Mountain Juyuan are representative to some extent, which partly reflects the social outlook and ideological trend at that time.
As a literary work, what attracts our attention more is its unique writing style. The evaluation of Ji and Ruan in Wen Xin Diao Long Shi Ming is "Ji Zhi, Ruan Zhi". Zhong Rong's poems also evaluate Ji Kang's poems with "Qingyuan" and "Junqie". It shows that it is a temporary universal theory. Tasting works, this judgment is really appropriate. In addition, Moon Hee is famous not only for his poems of Qing Dynasty, but also for his poems of Qing Dynasty. What is "clarity"? Generally speaking, it is extraordinary in conception, concise in writing and thorough in meaning. This article talks about my purport, likes and dislikes, condescending, no one reads, laughs and scolds, and writes. Originally, this letter was written to politely decline the recommendation, but the author did not stick to this specific matter, but focused on the principles of being a man and the way to make friends, learning from the past and comparing people today. The so-called Qingyuan is here. From the writing point of view, Tao is talking about the way of dealing with the world, with the theme of "moving with the nature, each with his own security", describing his living habits and mental state, and then inferring that it is inevitable for him to be an official, and there should be only a retreat. Next, turn to the other party, and mark the way of making friends with "knowing their nature and helping them", and then blame the other party for being sorry for their friends. It looks comfortable on the surface, but it has a strong logical force in its bones. Coupled with the thorough and decisive words of "seven unbearable, two impossible", it can naturally be called "awesome". Liu's evaluation of Ji Kang's prose is "the prose is like a cocoon, endless", which is also the internal logic of focusing on this main line. Moon Hee's calm style bears an obvious mark of the times. On the one hand, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Wei Chu emphasized the rule of name and law, and his articles tended to be concise and thorough. On the other hand, the ideological trend of arrogance and extravagance among literati influenced the article, and the so-called creative attitude of "learning from the heart" and "acting on the spirit" appeared, taking subjective emotions as the leading force to drive pen and ink, and projecting the author's own image into the work. Ji Kang was called "Xia Jun" in Wen Xin Diao Long. Today, when we read the book "Breaking Up with Mountain Juyuan", don't we really think there is a kind of "dragon-like" unruly chivalry in it? Like the stories of The Young Couple Who Scolded the Owl and The Beauty Qin Who Exposed the Owl Indiscriminately, the juxtaposition of "seven can't" and "two can't" vividly embodies Ji Kang's condescending, laughing and cursing spirit. In this sense, it can be said that with a distinctive personality, there is a distinctive style of writing. "Wen bian is related to the world, and the rise and fall are related to the time sequence." Under the butcher's knife of Sima Shi, the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" came back from the dead. Such a clear and creepy style is rare in Breaking Up with Mountain Juyuan.
