Therefore, they are not bound by the secular, not tired of foreign things, indulge in idleness, act spontaneously, die independently, and are informal. These are the life atmosphere in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and there are so many arrogant people. Drinking, whistling, naked, blue eyes, rendered the splendor of that turbulent and bloody era.
In fact, there are men with both talents and looks in any dynasty, and the people in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are the most spontaneous, the least introverted and the most distinctive. At that time, aesthetics prevailed over ethics. They found the freedom beauty of the soul inward, the natural beauty of mountains and rivers outward, pursued the freedom and publicity of human nature, and created an artistic conception full of spiritual beauty, which is unique in the ancient history of China.
Therefore, those handsome guys are handsome and elegant. Some of them are as lonely as a pine, some are as backward as Mount Emei, some are as bright as the next month, some are like the morning glow, some are like spring willows, and some are as wild as a branch, all of which have been recorded in history and handed down.
When you finish reading the history books of that era today, you will still be deeply moved by their spirituality, as if you can still see them wandering in the vast world. After that era, it is hard to see such unrestrained spirituality, but without such spirituality, no matter how beautiful a man is, he is as dull and lifeless as the star portrait on the wall.
