Someone described a man as "a pearl on the side, I feel that I am dirty!" "When you say that a beautiful person is on your side, you feel ugly. This beautiful man was Wei Jie (286-312), a native of Anyi County, Hedong County (present-day Xia County, Shanxi). He was born into a family of official eunuchs and was a famous Qing tan scholar and metaphysician of the Jin Dynasty. And the one who said that he was ugly was Wei Jie's uncle, who was also handsome and stylish.
When Wei Jiu was young, he took a sheep cart to the street market, and everyone who saw him thought it was a jade person. He was born with white skin, smooth skin, and beautiful face. When Wei Jie grew up, he was good at talking about mysteries. But because of his frail health, his mother did not let him talk much. When it comes to good days, talking to people, there is no one who does not praise his remarks to the subtle. Some people even praised him for "Wei Jie talked, Wang Cheng fell", Wang Cheng was a very famous person at that time, rarely respected others, but when he heard Wei Jie's remarks, he always sighed and fell for him. It can be seen that Wei Jie is not only a prosperous person, but also a full belly and a unique point of view.
Unfortunately, he couldn't escape the curse of red face and thin life. His fate is recorded in the "New Sayings of the World": When Wei Jiu traveled from Yuzhang County to Kyoto (present-day Nanjing), people came out of the city and surrounded him. Wei Jiu was already weak and sickly, and his body could not bear the fatigue, and eventually he fell seriously ill and died. The idiom "look at the killing of Wei Jie" comes from here.
