Historical celebrities gather here and interpret their wonderful lives, shaping the cultural temperament of Luoyang in the forest of world cities, and highlighting the humanistic splendor of Luoyang! Today launched the 41st of the 100 historical celebrities related to Luoyang: He Yan
He Yan (?) –249), courtesy name Pingshu, was a native of Nanyangwan (present-day Nanyang, Henan). During the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei metaphysician and grandson of the Han general He Jin, was known for his talents, and was very old and solemn. His father died early, Cao Cao took his mother Yin Shi as a concubine, He Yan was adopted, favored by Cao Cao, and his living costumes were all intended to be in Cao Pi, the prince of Wei, so he hated Cao Pi and called him a "false son". During the reign of Zheng Shi (240-248), Cao Shuang was in charge of the government, and He Yan dang attached himself to Cao Shuang, so he tired the officials shizhong and the official Shangshu, the canonical election, the marquis of Juelie, the dictatorship of the battle, and later because of his attachment to Cao Shuang, he was killed by Sima Yi and the three tribes. He Yan, along with Wang Bi, was the founder of the Wei and Jin Metaphysical Guiwu Sect. The Analects of the Analects, the JingfuDian Fu, and the Taoist Treatise are preserved.
He Yan's evaluation in history is mixed. He Yan is the main character in "The New Language of the World" and appears in various chapters. It is written in the chapter "Sui Hui" that He Yan was seven years old, and his wisdom was like a god, and Cao Cao accepted him as a son. One day, someone saw He Yan squatting on the ground and drawing a square, and circled himself in it, so he asked him why, and He Yan said: This is He Shi's Luye. The subtext is that I am in charge of my turf, and it can be said that He Yan had a dream of having a private space when he was very young. At that time, the teenager He Yan or known to send people under the fence was not comfortable, and his He square could be called "independent personality" in mathematics. Cao Cao's IQ is needless to say, after hearing about this, he felt that He Yan was so young, so he respected his wishes and fulfilled his wishes, and sent He Yan to live outside the palace.
After growing up, He Yan was not only good, but also opened up the first trend. Zhao Peng drank alcohol to open a literary salon, and also took the lead in taking Five Stones, which is the first person in Chinese history to take Five Stones. Su Shi persuaded The Five Stones to start with He Yan, which was true. Because he was a great celebrity, a famous figure at that time, the talents of the time flocked to him and competed to emulate him. As for the effect of taking this medicine, He Yan himself said that "not only to cure the disease, but also to feel refreshed after eating", it seems that taking five stones and stimulating the central nervous system. As for the toxic side effects of the five stones, Su Shi's examination is: "Those who have taken this medicine, carbuncles on their backs and accompanied by vomiting blood, are equivalent to taking poison, and it is impossible for people in the world to be unaware." "From the widespread phenomenon of collective poisoning by intellectuals throughout the country during the Wei and Jin dynasties, we can see a glimpse of the decadence and perversion of this era. Some historians have listed the world's multi-consumption of five stones as one of the scenes of the last days, which is very reasonable.
The beauty of He Yan is also famous in history. Light fur slow belt, not shoes and ass, simple clouds, transcendent, self-congratulatory, a few chasing immortal postures. This is the back of the Wei and Jin celebrities left in the sky of history, and such an image has a lot to do with He Yan. He Yan looks very handsome, his personality is more narcissistic in today's words, he loves to smear powder, and he often has to look back to admire his shadow when walking. Men's smearing of powder did not begin with He Yan, but He Yan smearing powder is the most famous, known as "Fu Powder He Lang". He is also a "master of clothing" and likes to wear large, flowing, brightly colored women's clothing. At that time, these actions of his were criticized by some old masters and were called "serving demons", but the vast number of teenagers followed suit, and for a while they became popular. The Wei and Jin people paid attention to the beauty of their own form, becoming the era with the most beautiful men in Chinese history, and the beautiful men in Luoyang City were like clouds, and the founder of this fashion was probably He Yan. Everyone pays special attention to their appearance at a certain time, and so does every culture. The awakening of self-consciousness in the Wei and Jin dynasties inevitably brought about people's attention to the beauty of their own physical form, and idioms praising the beauty of male form, such as "Yushu Linfeng" and "Jade Mountain Will Collapse", were all created in Luoyang City of Han Wei. The praise of the Wei and Jin people for men, in addition to paying attention to the style and posture, also extends to personality and talent, as Mr. Li Zehou discussed, what they pursued was "to reflect the inner wisdom and character of people with the appearance of beauty as natural scenery", "this kind of exaggerated descriptive evaluation of the character style requires the expression of superb inner personality with a beautiful external style, which is the aesthetic ideal and taste of this class at that time."
He Yan's thinking is also extremely cutting-edge. He liked Lao Zhuang's philosophy, admired Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, and Zhou Yi, and was also influenced by Buddhism to a certain extent, writing dozens of articles on morality and various texts, which was also the first move to open up the atmosphere at that time. In the context of the Han Dynasty scripture and ritual system, which had ruled the ideological circles for four hundred years, had become rigid and decayed, had lost its charm, and was generally tired of scholars, He Yan's thoughts and doctrines were popular. After the death of the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi took power, and He Yan, who had a good relationship with Cao Shuang, became the official Shangshu and was in charge of Cao Wei's affairs. During this period, he discovered the young genius Wang Bi and together with Wang Bi founded the Wei and Jin metaphysics.
Only two of He Yan's poems remain, and Zhong Rong's "Poetry" includes He Yan's poems in the Middle Grade.
