How did Ji Kang, one of the seven sages of bamboo forest, become the most handsome man in Wei and Jin Dynasties?
I have always liked Ji Kang. I can't tell you why Perhaps I am amazed at his calm attitude towards life and death, perhaps I envy his state of mind that he can get rid of bondage, or perhaps I love his temperament of "being born with twins". He is like a fairy, full of free and easy spirit, without the extraordinary sadness of Ruan Ji. His life is more optimistic and clear than Ruan Ji's. In his mind, since troubled times can't realize his political ambition, he should stay away from officialdom, indulge in mountains and rivers and enjoy leisure. Therefore, bamboo forest became his ideal home.
How much anguish has a troubled scholar accumulated in his chest? And these seven people, all depressed patients, can raise their heads in depression, so there are seven sages of bamboo forest who sang their own values of life in this troubled times. Ji Kang cherishes this special feeling between each other, which is strong and indifferent. However, the more you cherish it, the more you can't stay. After all, not everyone can live a poor life, not to mention this group of people with lofty ideals who have read a lot of poems and have the ambition to serve the country, so some people quit. ...
In However, I Feel it, the harmonious heartbeat of the seven sages of the bamboo forest and the holy unicorn is always communicated by playing the piano, being silent, striking the iron and whistling, but now they are drifting away. Ji Kang's best friend Dan Tao abandoned him and entered the officialdom. Did he forget the spirit of bamboo forest? Have you forgotten Ji Kang's personality? His heart was full of pain, so one letter after another, plus Zhong Hui's slanderous remarks, finally pushed him into the hands of death. Life is so helpless, once the dream was so full, but it was so vulnerable in front of reality. Imagine that the seven sages of the bamboo forest are so detached, but now they are corrupted by fame and fortune. In Ji Kang's heart, his dream was shattered, and his friends left him one by one. He became the only guardian of the bamboo forest. How sad and helpless it is! Maybe God couldn't bear to wait for him alone in this dirty world, but he was beheaded under the slanderers of Zhong Hui, leaving only a clear life.
On the day of execution, he made an exception and dressed beautifully. He wants to show his good fortune, and he wants to jump the one last dance of life on the execution ground. He sat in front of the piano and poured his last elegance into Guangling San. The sound of the piano is overwhelming, and it's not messy at all. After the fight, die calmly. The 40-year-old handsome boy was beheaded, blood gushed from the neck cavity, and 3,000 students cried like rain ... Ji Kang's vital qi turned into essence and blood into Changhong, but his real "Guangling San" became an unreachable voice, which could not be traced back. I have to say how free and easy it is! Lu Xun said: "A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood." Ji Kang is a real warrior. In his mind, death is not terrible, and the disillusionment of dreams can crush him most. A song "Guangling San" sang Ji Kang's detachment, became the sublimation of Ji Kang's ideal, and became the last bamboo forest swan song.
Ji Kang, Ruan Ji and Dan Tao all share a common quality and belief, that is, they can calmly express their true feelings in the sea of clouds and between heaven and earth in the face of setbacks in life. This may be the pulse of harmony between man and nature. In a word, life is colorful. Whether you are proud or frustrated, don't underestimate the tenacity of life. If you remain tenacious and calm in the face of long storms, your life will become more persistent. When you look at the difficulties again, it may have disappeared without a trace. Think of the great predecessors, silently guarding the edge of life, even if they die, they are not afraid.
I can't evaluate Ji Kang's persistence in his ideal, but I know how difficult it is for a person to persist in his ideal, especially when your ideal is not recognized by the world and persistence has become the pillar of life. When this pillar fell, everything became so vague that life was no longer motivated. So Ji Kang was so free and easy when he died, as if it was a relief, which is probably the reason! How much hope there is, how much disappointment there is. But in my opinion, Ji Kang's death was worth it. He died to stick to his ideals, a fair death honors the whole life!
