In the sixth year of Yongjia (312), on the eve of the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, Wei Jiu, the world's first beautiful man, died.
At that time, the war in the Central Plains was gradually rising, and the people of the world were tired of running for their lives. Wei Jie is the same.
He was born into the Gate Valve clan, looked handsome, became famous as a teenager, and was praised by the metaphysical circles of the Two Jin Dynasties as the "Sound of the Beginning" after He Yan and Wang Bi.
For the sake of the portal plan, Wei Jie was forced to join the team that went south to avoid disasters and crossed the south in a crown.
However, most of the celebrities who went south together were able to live their lives in the chaotic world, and a few could also be heard of by the princes, but he alone died.
Wei Jiu's tragedy began with a crowd of onlookers.
Early on, when he heard that Wei Shuai was going to settle in Jiankang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu), he had almost poured out the girls who had been secretly interested in him for a long time. On the way of Wei Jie's march, he formed a "human wall" of three layers outside the three layers, just to see his "love bean" appearance.
Wei Jiu, who was besieged by fans, was not blessed to be so wildly pursued. He was frail and sick since he was a child, and after such a toss, he was actually frightened and sick, and he died.
Since then, "watching and killing Wei Jie" has become a microcosm of the madness of the ancients chasing stars.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="189">01</h1>
In addition to "watching and killing Wei Jie", the "Throwing Fruit Panlang" of the same period is also famous in the history of star chasing.
As a leading figure in the literary circles of the Western Jin Dynasty, Pan An's appearance is no less than that of Wei Jiu, ranking among the "Four Beautiful Men" in ancient times.
Every time he drove up the street, he always received fruits and flowers thrown by the opposite sex from the top eighty to the eighteenth in the city. There are not a few people who intend to have close contact with Pan An and then seek a fruitful marriage.

Pan An was particularly distressed by this.
But as the saying goes, arsenic cream of A, honey of B. Zuo Si, the author of "Three Capitals", who brought the gospel to Luoyang Paper Industry at that time, especially hoped to get a good relationship like Pan An.
Therefore, Zuo Si, whose writing was inversely proportional to his appearance, drove Pan An to visit the city, but successfully scared away a group of onlookers, and was spurned by everyone, and received a cart of tomatoes and eggs.
Although star chasing begins with the appearance value, for the more high-end "die-hard fans", the value is not worth mentioning at all.
Xie Lingyun, the leader of the times in the same period, was known as the originator of Chinese landscape poetry. This man pursues his idol only in talent.
Xie Lingyun once made no secret of it: "There is only one stone in the world, Cao Zijian has eight buckets, I have to fight, and the others share a fight." ”
Cao Zijian is Cao Zhi. Xie Lingyun's words are somewhat self-aggrandizing, but I have to say that in his eyes, even if he tramples the whole world on the soles of his feet, Cao Zhi is still a "god"-like existence.
Unfortunately, The idol Cao Zhi, whom Xie Lingyun vigorously touted, although he had a revered identity before his death, he was depressed all his life. Even though he wrote "Roselle Endowment" that sent love to the gods, expressing his desire to stay away from the temple, he could not escape the suspicion of the imperial brother, and was forced to sigh that "he was born from the same root, and he was too anxious to fry each other".
Compared with the sighing life of idol Cao Zhi, Xie Lingyun still lived more comfortably for most of his life. Born in the xie clan of chen county, the world's famous men, Xie An, Xie Xuan, Xie Shi, etc. in his father's and grandfather's generation were all "big men" who had rebuilt the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Passed to Xie Lingyun's hands, even if the family fell in the middle, but with the prestige of the family, Xie Lingyun entered the official field easily.
However, for being an official, Xie Lingyun obviously did not have a clear understanding.
During his tenure at the local government, he repeatedly put down his official duties to go sightseeing. In order to facilitate travel and mountaineering, he made full use of his ingenuity and strong family foundation, engaged in research and development, and successfully developed a hiking shoe that can be removed before and after wooden teeth. As a result, under the pursuit of a large number of fans, "Xie Gongdi" immediately became a fashion hit in the mountaineering world.

Following the footsteps of "Xie Gongcao", Xie Lingyun's "first big brother" Liu Yilong of Song Wendi officially appeared.
As the president of Xie Lingyun's fan support association, Song Wendi's "love" is three hundred and sixty degrees. Knowing that Xie Lingyun lived in seclusion in the mountains, built The Shining Villa, and wrote the "Mountain Residence Fu", Emperor Wendi of Song quickly sent someone to find the book fu, personally copied and recited it, and assisted the idol to sort out and copy the masterpiece and spread it to the world.
Emperor Wen of Song, who was worried about not doing enough, also specially announced to the outside world that the words and poems written by Xie Lingyun were called "national treasures" and that mortals needed to cherish them more.
In order to make the idol's works last forever, Emperor Wen of Song specially invited Xie Lingyun to compile the history of the country.
Xie Lingyun was quite proud of his idol aura. In the face of Emperor Wen of Song's gestational invitation, Xie Lingyun rubbed for a long time before handing over a writing outline, and then opened the indefinite "strike" mode. But as a well-known "big brother of the list", what else can Emperor Song Wendi do in addition to continuing to send warmth and welfare to idols?
It was precisely because of Emperor Wen of Song's infinite connivance with idols that Xie Lingyun was able to continue to "do things".
In the inaccessible land, he led people to cut thorns and thorns, cutting down forests, making people mistakenly think that he wanted to occupy the mountains as king. With the help of the family's strong strength, he openly demanded water and soil from local officials in his jurisdiction and built land around the lake. Again and again, he tried to challenge the imperial power before the ghost gate closed.
Seeing that the rhythm of Xie Ling's death was non-stop, As a die-hard fan, Emperor Wendi Song had more than enough heart for his protection and was insufficient. In the end, after Xie Lingyun overstepped the rules many times, Emperor Wen of Song could only send his idol on the road with tears.
In the tenth year of Yuan Jia (433), Xie Lingyun was convicted and killed in Guangzhou. Before dying, he seemed to have a sober reflection on his life:
Encounters are not instantaneous, and it is not a shame to shorten them.
Hate me gentlemanly, do not rock on the rock.
Before sending the heart to enlightenment, si pain has been endured for a long time.
I only wish to take advantage of the afterlife, and I will complain about my relatives and one heart.
But it was too late. A generation of landscape poets, aged 49.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="191">02</h1>
Time passed, to the Tang Dynasty. With the growing strength of the country, Datang's fan babies have a new trend on the road to chasing stars.
Among them, I have to mention Wei Hao, who chased the star and broke his leg.
Coincidentally, the superstar that Wei Hao is chasing is Li Bai, a Tang Dynasty poet who self-projects the trajectory of Xie Lingyun's life. In Li Bai's poems, from time to time there are sentences such as "Penglai article jian'an bone, in the middle Xiao Xie and Qingfa" and "stepping on Xie Gong's sandals, climbing the white cloud ladder", expressing his admiration for Xie Lingyun. And whether Wei Hao compared himself to Emperor Wen of Song, this is unknown.
Before he first met Li Bai, Wei Hao was just a small Daoist under Wang Wu mountain, with an ordinary name: Wei Wan.

Who says star chasers have to be rich? Chasing the stars is a heart.
Wei Wan originally made "white powder" and hoped that he would one day be able to be in the same frame as his idol. However, in addition to Li Bai's short stay in Chang'an for a short time, he traveled the world most of his life and his whereabouts were uncertain. It is not easy to see the "fangrong" of the idol.
Therefore, as soon as Wei Wan heard that there were traces of Li Bai in the world, Wei Wan set out to explore.
When Li Bai's family ran south, Wei Wan's tracks also traveled from west to east to the place where Li Bai had been. In ancient times, when traffic was not developed, thousands of miles of roads were chased. Eventually, under the city of Guangling (廣陵, in present-day Yangzhou, Jiangsu), Wei Wan got his wish and met Li Bai's father and son.
When he met Li Bai, Wei Wan had already presented his carefully composed poem "Jinling Reward Li Hanlin Who Immortal" to the idol. Although the writing was incomparable with the idol, Wei Wan's heart was inevitably a relief for Li Bai, who was tired of avoiding the chaos of the war at that time.
Therefore, in the face of this young man who chased him all the way, Li Bai not only did not show a state of arrogance, but also poured out the poems he had made all his life, and seemed to affirm the efforts of this yearless fan in his heart.
At the same time, Li Bai, who wrote many short poems all his life, also created a long poem for Wei Wan for the first time in his life, entitled "Sending Wang Wu Shan Man Wei Wan Back to Wang Wu", which inspired him to work harder on the road of his career.
In the end, Wei Wan, who received the help of the idol "Power of the Flood", passed the jinshi in one fell swoop.
However, on the road to chasing stars, not everyone can get what they want like Wei Wan.
Du Fu, who is as famous as Li Bai in literary history, is a small fan of Li Bai in real life. The difference between the two is 11 years. In addition to eating, sleeping, and writing poetry every day, Du Fu probably admired Li Bai.
▲ Du Fu who wants to wear his eyes, image source: network.
Among Du Fu's surviving works, there are as many as 15 poems related to Li Bai. The titles of these poems are very straightforward, such as "Remembering Li Bai in Spring", "Having Li Bai in Winter", "Dreaming of Li Bai Two", etc. To sum up, it is summed up in one sentence: I Du Fu think of you during the day, dream of you at night, think of you in the spring, and think of you in winter...
Such a twilight thought, but only in exchange for Li Bai's "desperate" return: "Fei Peng is far away, and he has a cup in his hand." (Li Bai, "Lu County's East Stone Gate Sends Du Erfu")
Implication: After drinking this cup, don't think about me, brother is just a legend!
Although Du Fu chased Li Bai quite sadly and frustrated, as a "poetic saint" whose status in the whole Tang Dynasty was comparable to Li Bai's, Du Fu himself was also a harvester for high-quality fans. Among the many fans behind Du Fu, Zhang Shu, the author of "Festival Women's Yin", is definitely the most special.
Zhang Ji was Han Yu's proud protégé, but he admired the dead Du Fu even more.
In order to make himself feel the power of idols, Zhang Bi insisted on burning the stored Du Fu poems into ashes every day, then stirring the ashes with honey, and getting up in the morning to send three spoons to his mouth.
When he met a friend who questioned it, Zhang Zhi specially gave a set of explanations of "what to eat and what to make up", claiming that after eating Du Fu's poems, the poems he made in the future could be like Du Fu's.
According to the method of supplementation invented by himself, Zhang Zhi actually made a name for himself in the poetry circle later, because he was good at writing "Lefu poems" and the poet Wang Jian, and was called "Zhang Wang Lefu".
There is no craziness on the way to the stars, only more crazy.
Just when Zhang Zhi was eating paper ashes, a young man named Ge Qing in Jingzhou sacrificed his body for the idol.
Ge Qing is an iron fan of the great poet Bai Juyi. In order to make the idol's poetry famous in the world, he decided to practice it and dedicate his tiger body - using tattoo techniques to engrave Bai Juyi's poems on his body, from the neck down, the whole body was pierced with the idol's poems. It's definitely true love.

Bai Juyi's exclusive "Ge Qingpai" human-shaped poetry storage device came out.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="192">03</h1>
Watching his students eat paper ashes in a big mouthful, presumably Han Yu would cry and laugh when he learned about it. Although it was impossible to make the disciples under the seat have a heart of worship for him, his name as the head of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties" was not covered.
Born in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Han Yu, after spanning an era, also gained the admiration of another super big V in the literary world. This person was Su Shi, the first KOL of the Song Dynasty.
As a cross-border leader of northern Song culture and catering, Su Shi's aura is unparalleled. But for Han Yu, he could only exalt him over the top.
▲ Su Shi's idol, Han Yu, the head of the "Eight Greats of the Tang and Song Dynasties", source: network.
In the Chaozhou Hanwen Gongmiao Stele, which was specially inscribed for the idol, Su Shi called Han Yu "the decline of the eight generations of Wenqi". As soon as Han Yu appeared, the previous literary style that had been languishing for hundreds of years from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty was changed.
After blowing enough "rainbow fart" for the idol, Su Shi also followed Han Yu's example - taking tonic medicine.
Bai Juyi once summed up the health care of celebrities in the Tang Dynasty in "Thinking of the Old", of which "retreating to serve sulfur, a disease is not cured" refers to the fact that Han Yu wears too much sulfur, resulting in health maintenance and injury.
Perhaps in order to align with the idol, Su Dongpo and Shen Kuo, the chief scientist of the Song Dynasty, jointly produced "Su Shen Liangfang", carefully explained the extraction technology of the "tonic" QiuShi for all the good people, and attached a "Yang Dan Recipe" to personally teach everyone how to take it to live a long life. This is also the most lifeless star-chasing behavior.
Then again, Su Shi himself was a heavenly king-level idol. Around him, there are a group of fans who "can do the impossible for him" all year round.
When he wrote poems with a pen and feasted on food reviews, the same food of Dongpo such as "Dongpo meat", "Dongpo fish" and "Dongpo tofu" instantly became a street hit in the season. This food R&D and cargo expert wants to welcome the kindness of the shoppers when necessary.
In addition to bringing goods, Su Tianwang's "handsome" accidentally triggered a divorce lawsuit case.
At that time, among Su Shi's fan base, there was a "brain residue fan" named Zhang Yuanbi. This man is ugly, but he is full of poetry. Heaven saw mercy and rewarded him with a wife, Chen Shi, and his relatives and friends called Chen Shi like a flower. But Zhang Yuanbi liked Su Shi too much and liked to sleep with Su Shi's portfolio every day. In this way, it really responds to the sentence: "Blind do not know the beauty of the wife!" ”
Over time, his wife Chen Shi finally issued a soul torture question to Zhang Yuanbi: "Do you really love me?" Zhang Yuanbi, on the other hand, said, "I love my wife, and I love Su Shi even more." ”
In this way, Zhang Yuanbi and his wife went to court and divorced through legal means to "safeguard their rights".
After the divorce, Zhang Yuanbi was still quite self-satisfied, and everyone said: "I married for the love of Dou SuShi. ”
The culture of fans calling for idols has continued for a thousand years after Su Shi. However, in the process of chasing the stars, the present people have lost their way like Zhang Yuanbi.
The original star chasing stems from the fact that the excellent qualities of the idol have a positive motivating effect on the fans, and it is worth imitating, following and surpassing until the meaning of life is found.
As some people say, an idol is a light, and we should run after the light.
Xie Lingyun chased after Cao Zhi and became the originator of landscape poetry; Li Bai chased Xie Lingyun and became a poetry immortal; Du Fu chased Li Bai and became a poet; Zhang Zhi chased Du Fu and became a master of Lefu poetry... This is chasing the stars, running after the stars.
Please don't lose yourself in the pursuit of stars, you who are chasing stars may also be the brightest star in other people's lives.
