Xiang Xiu

Biography

Early life

Xiang Xiu was famous in the township for his article Junxiu when he was a teenager, and later studied "Zhuangzi" with a lot of experience, and was known to Shantao when he lectured in the township. Shan Tao listened to Xiang Xiu's speech of Gao Miaoxuanyuan and had extraordinary insights, as if "having come out of the dust and peeping into the underworld", the two became friends forgetting their years.

Bamboo forest tour

Under the guidance of Shantao, he got to know Ji Kang and Ruan Yuan, which was also a "bamboo forest tour". Xiang Xiuhao reads and is friendly with Ji Kang, Lu An and others, but is not good at drinking. Ji Kang is "very clever and good at forging", so it is often seen that the two play iron under the willow tree in front of Ji Kang's house to entertain themselves, Ji Kang palms the hammer, Xiang Xiu blows the wind, the two cooperate tacitly, if there is no one around, enjoy themselves, but also in order to "support themselves", subsidize a little family. Xiang Xiu also often goes to Lu An's house to help him serve the vegetable garden, and the three of them can be described as agreeing.

A friend is killed

When Xiang Xiusuke Ji Kang hit the iron, he witnessed that Zhong would be ridiculed by Ji Kang. This incident became the source of Ji Kang's beheading. Xiang Xiu witnessed what happened later, and these things also affected his later life path. In 263, Jing Yuansi (263) experienced the great tragedy and pain of Ji Kang and Lu An being killed by Sima Zhao, and Xiang Xiu realized greatly in sorrow and confusion, and in the midst of bitterness and wandering, his state of mind became more indifferent and quiet, and he expounded the spirit of Zhuangzi's thoughts with his heart.

After Ji Kang and Lu An were killed, Xiang Xiu once traveled west through their old residence, heard the loud and sad flute of his neighbors at dusk, remembered the love of playing feasts together in the past, remembered the unrestrained talents of Ji Kang and Lu An, and wrote down the famous passage "Thinking of the Old Endowment".

Twilight years

After Ji Kang was killed, Xiang Xiu, under pressure from the powerful, went to Luoyang at the request of the county magistrate and was received by Sima Zhao, who asked Xiang Xiu, "I heard that you used to have a reclusive "Ji Shan Zhi", why did you come to see me today?" Xiu Yue: "People like Father Chao and Xu Yu do not understand Emperor Yao's intentions to seek talents, so the life of seclusion is not worth enviing." Xiang Xiu later became an official of the Yellow Gate Waiter and the Scattered Horse Chang Shi, and was kind to Ren Kai and so on.

The "Book of Jin and xiangxiu biography" records: "XiuYou is a number of sages, and Xiao Dan is old, and there is no annotation." Only good Zhuangzi, talk about Cui Zhuo's notes, in case of forgetting the cloud. Xiang Xiuxi talked about the study of Lao Zhuang, although the book "Zhuangzi" was circulated at that time, but the old note of the past "Can not investigate its purpose", once annotated the book "Zhuangzi". When Xiang Xiu first began to comment on Zhuangzi, Ji Kang said: "The mysterious words and mysterious intentions in Zhuangzi will be frozen by the annotations, and there was no better note before. When Xiang Xiu took out the manuscript and showed it to Ji Kang, Ji Kang knew that Xiang Zhu made the mysteries of Zhuangzi more wonderful, so he was greatly impressed by Xiang Xiu's talent. Unfortunately, Xiang Xiu died before he could succeed, and Guo Xiang inherited the remnants of his Zhuangzi and wrote thirty-three chapters of Zhuangzi Notes, which had a profound influence on Wei and Jin metaphysics.

"Zhuangzi Notes" plagiarism case

The "New Language of the World" records that after Xiang Xiu's death, his son was still young and did not publish his father's notes. Xiang Xiu's manuscript was stolen by Guo Xiang, who himself supplemented "Autumn Water" and "Zhile" and changed the annotations of "Horseshoe", and the rest of the articles were only slightly sorted out of the text, and they were popular all over the world in his own name. For thousands of years, when the world talked about the commentary of Zhuangzi, they enshrined Guo Xiang as everyone, ignoring Xiang Xiu's remarkable achievements.
