In the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", the two most similar or similar people are Ji Kang (Zi Shu Ye) and Ruan Zhi (Zi Si Zong).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > first, all have extraordinary appearances. </h1>
They are all super handsome men, and the Book of Jin records that Ji Kang was "seven feet and eight inches long", "had a windy instrument", "people thought that the dragon chapter and phoenix posture", handsome could not be expressed in ordinary adjectives, people said "strangers like jade, the prince is peerless in the world"; Ruan Zhi was also born with a table of talents, "magnificent appearance", a "gem" word, must be a body shape, a "jie" word, and a majestic and heroic hair.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > second, can play the piano for a long time. </h1>
The story of Ji Kang and Guqin is almost well known to women and children, and a song "Guangling San" has made many people's souls haunt their dreams. At that time, there was a worldly high hermit named Sun Deng, who was proficient in musical rhythms, famous for the "Long Howling" mountain forest, and was a big man in the "Howling" world. Ji Kang had studied under Sun Deng for three years, and he had not only learned the rhythm, but should have also received the true transmission of "Xiao". Ruan Zhi also went up the mountain to call the board, and Sun Deng, and the result seemed that the big guy was higher, but Ruan Yuan's Xiao Gong was also good, and the "Art and Literature Cluster" quoted Yuan Hong's "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "Ruan Yuan... Good whistle, sound hundreds of steps. ”
According to the Eastern Jin Dynasty Jiang Wei's "Chen Liuzhi" (Qing Wu Weiye's "Meicun Poetry Collection" Volume II "Meicun" Wu Yifeng Notes Quoted): "Ruan Si Zong Shan Xiao, the sound and the piano are harmonious. "This sentence is worth pondering: the long whistle is not a scream, maybe similar to the sound of dolphins, which can be corresponding to musical instruments such as the guqin." Sitting alone in the fence, playing the piano and screaming for a long time", no wonder Wang Wei also played like this. Ruan's father was Ruan Yu, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", and under his influence, a Yaoqin was also played with dragons and tigers, and the leaves were colorful, and his "YongHuai" poem said: "I can't sleep at night, sit up and play the piano".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > third, are high-rollers in wine. </h1>
The eldest brother Shan Tao in the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" commented on Ji Kang: "Uncle Ji is a man at night, and the rock is the independence of the lone pine; his drunkenness is also the collapse of the golem Ruoyu Mountain." When Ji Kang was awake, he was proudly independent like a tall lone pine; if he was drunk, it was like the towering jade mountain that would fall. Whatever he was like when he was drunk, there was no doubt that he could drink and get drunk.
Ruan Yuan, the most appropriate description is "drunk as fate". It's not just about drinking, but being drunk is one of his exclusive door-watching secrets. For example, "Emperor Wen initially wanted to propose marriage to Emperor Wu, but he was drunk for sixty days and could not stop talking. The Sima family also wanted to marry him, and he was drunk for two months, and the middleman could not interject, so the matter was yellow. There is also the sinister villain Zhong Hui, who entered the rumors to kill Ji Kang, "Ask about current events, and if you want to cause the crime of whether it is possible, you will be exempted from drunkenness." "Specially came to dig a pit for him to put eye drops on him, preparing to fabricate charges, but Ruan Zhi was drunk every time, and Zhong Hui could only retreat in sorrow." Ruan Yuan's whole life has been related to dry wine, "the chest is blocked, so the wine must be poured", "The World Speaks New Language" thinks so. There is even a saying that Ruan Ji and Liu Ling died drunk in the cellar.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > fourth, all of them are literary giants. </h1>
The two are the main generals of "Zhengshi Literature", Ji Kang's "gong poetry is good at writing, and his work style is clean", expressing his lofty ambition to be independent, disgusted with the heart of merit and fame, and his words are magnificent. In particular, the four-character poem is straightforward and has achieved great achievements, and some people in later generations believe that its level is above Lu Yun and Pan Yue. Ruan Zhi became famous at a young age, in addition to poetry, he was also good at prose and lexicography, and wrote "Eighty-two Songs of Yong Huai" and "The Biography of Mr. Adult", which were valued by the world, and his poems used ancient irony and the present to convey feelings, forming a style of "sorrow, indignation, and hidden twists and turns", which had a far-reaching influence in later generations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > fifth, all like to be libertine skeletons. </h1>
Ji Kang was wild, free and lazy, claiming to be "the head face is often not washed on January 15, not much stuffy, can not be mu also." "If a handsome person feels a lice in his hair or on his body, you shouldn't be too surprised." People who are like this to themselves and those who don't look at him are even more unwilling to pinch the corners of their eyes. The Zhong Hui mentioned above, the young Man Dezhi, was highly valued by Sima Zhao, who had already been named the Marquis of Guannei at that time, fat horse light qiu, and came to visit with a large group of retinues, but Ji Kang and Xiang Xiu were playing iron, and they did not even give him a straight eye, which made Zhong Gongzi's face fall into the dust, so he slipped and prepared to withdraw, but Ji Kang still had to face him: "What did you hear?" What do you see and go? The bell would say, "Hear what you hear, see what you see and go." As a result, Zhong would hate Ji Kang to the bone, and later it was he who deliberately sent Ji Kang to the execution ground.
Bell meeting
Speaking of Ruan Yuan, he is also a person who despises etiquette, and the "Biography of Mr. Adult" written by him is extremely ironic, saying that the upright gentlemen are no different from the lice in the crotch, superficially obeying the etiquette, but actually flying and dog, dirty and dirty, which makes those adult gentlemen who think that they are benevolent and righteous and wise. Ruan Zhi is good at drinking, the owner of the hotel next to his house is a young and beautiful daughter-in-law, Ruan Zhi is drunk and lies next to him to sleep, and does not avoid suspicion at all. The valuable thing is that the husband does not think that he is a frivolous person.
In general, friends who have one or two common languages can form a dead party. It is rare that ji ruan and the two are as talented, the same cynicism, five points in common, once they meet, they feel sorry for each other, sparks splash, and they will inevitably lead to lifelong confidants. When you talk speculatively, you will write poems and lyrics; when you write poems, you will drink wine to help you; when you drink wine, you will play the piano and whistle! It is a miracle in itself that two shining people can collide in thousands of years.
Despite this tacit understanding, the destination is completely different. Ji Kang was killed by Sima Zhao's butcher's knife, but Ruan Was favored by Sima Zhao. Having offended so many "famous and upright people", these people were "as sick as a vendetta" and wanted to kill him and then quickly, but Sima Zhao always protected him. At the age of forty-five, Nguyễn was even given the title of "Marquis of Guannei".
Summarizing the lives of the two, we can find another big trick that Ruan Zhi can save his life, that is, to control his mouth and "pretend to be dumb".
Evil came out of his mouth, and Ji Kang unfortunately once again proved the truth of this chaotic world. The Sima family had exclusive power, and as Cao Cao's great-granddaughter and son-in-law, Ji Kang resigned from the government with a clear and resolute banner. Shan Tao once recommended him, and as a result, he wrote a "Letter of Renunciation with Shan Juyuan" and swollen his friend's face. It is in this eloquent article that he thinks that he is "just sick and vicious, speaking bluntly, and when things happen", he has a picture of a jealous intestine, and when he sees something unfair, he can't help but say it directly, and it is easy to offend people. But then he wrote about the official's "hand recommending the knife, the fishy", all like a stinking cook... Why bother to break things? Talking about everyone else so badly? Don't you know what kind of cruel people the Sima family and their men are? They originally wanted to take the people and horses of the Cao clan to open the knife, let alone you, the leader of the literati? So I held my breath to find the stubble.
Sun Deng, Ji Kang's teacher at that time, expressed his concern: "The monarch is fierce and talented, and he can avoid it!" "How can you, a strong and talented person, be spared misfortune?" Ji Kang is actually very aware of his own problems, and in the "Poetry of Indignation", he wrote: "Only this heart shows Zang No", evaluating the length of others, and cannot close his big mouth. In the book of renunciation, he also wrote about the gap between him and Ruan Zhi - "Ruan Si Zongkou does not care about people, and I have not been able to reach every teacher." ”
Here it is said that Ruan Zhi can save his whole life: "No matter who passes", Ji Kang said that he can't learn it if he wants to.
Although Ruan Zhi was drunk every day, he knew in his heart that the so-called human feelings were trained.
When Wang Chang of Yanzhou heard of Ruan's name, he invited him to meet him at the official office. However, Ruan Zhi did not spit a word in his mouth from morning to night, and Wang Chang could not do anything about him.
Sima Zhao talked to Ruan Zhi many times and tried to touch his bottom, but he found nothing. Sima Zhao sighed: "Every time you talk to him, your words are far away, and you have not tried to deny the characters." - This person is probably the most cautious person under the heavens, right? Every time I talked to him, he spoke in a vague way, never commenting on current events or praising and disparaging people. Anyway, if you want to chat normally, I will talk nonsense, you have to be anxious, I will drink upside down, in short, neither hurt your face, nor violate my heart, empty snake, perfunctory, adapt to harmony.
He was called "Ruan Infantry" by posterity, because he heard that the "Infantry Lieutenant" was vacant, wei Jinshi this position was not low, "rank than two thousand stones, leading the guards", together with Tun Riding, Yue Riding, Shooting, Changshui and "Five Battalions Lieutenant", he was not rare, mainly because the camp hid fine wine, there were subordinates "good wine", so he specially applied, and the result was that he wanted to succeed, according to the "Spring and Autumn of the Wei Dynasty", he was recorded: "So he indulged in alcohol and fainted, leaving behind the world..."
Nguyen "died at the end of his life", as the history books say, he lived to be fifty-four years old, but personally believe that he did not die a normal death.
In that year, "the Emperor will let Jiu Xi, and the Secretary of State will persuade him to enter, and the envoy will resign." This was an important step in Sima Zhao's implementation of his usurpation of power, and the edict of the Puppet Emperor Cao Wei of Cao Wei was crowned the Title of Jin, and Sima Shi pretended to be humble, and then was "persuaded" by the Gongqing chancellor, and as a result, the unfortunate work of writing the "Persuasion Table" fell to Ruan Yuan's head.
"By virtue of being drunk and forgetting to do things, I will go to the house and make it take it, and see the party of origin according to the case drunk and sleep." The Prophet admonished, and wrote the case, so that he could write it without any change. ”
Writing the "Persuasion Table" for Sima Shi, Ruan Zhi knew that this was a matter of disobedience to orders, and it must be a "stain" on his innocent life, but he could not pass the test by drunkenness, not writing only death, and the people sent were waiting next to him, although he still refused to write on the silk veil, leaving evidence, and had to write it on his desk and let people copy it, but he wrote it after all.
He even wrote: "Isn't it great to be in Lincang Prefecture and Xie Zhibo, to climb the Ji Mountain and make xu You?" "The intention is very clear: after sima Zhaogong became famous, if you can not accept Yao's Zen concessions like Zhi Bo and Xu You, that is a great achievement." But no matter how to go around the bend, after all, it is "Persuasion Table", and the nature cannot be changed.
After writing the "Persuasion Table", only a month or two later, Ruan's book collapsed. This "collapse" character is not suitable for him, but personal analysis of his spiritual world should be broken, and that "table" makes him unable to forgive himself.
It was the winter of Jing Yuan's fourth year, and heavy snow gradually covered his grave, and the white expanse of the earth was temporarily clean.
