When it comes to romantic life in Wei and Jin Dynasties, the first thing that many people think of is probably Tao Qian. He lives in seclusion in the countryside, drinks freely and enjoys himself. He is regarded as a red man in our eyes. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, a large number of romantic figures appeared, which was recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu.
As a "treasure in the pillow" of ancient and modern scholars, Shi Shuo Xin Yu has been annotated by too many scholars, and it is not dominant to publish another book of this kind. Mr. Dai Jianye, on the other hand, found another way, organically connected the fragmented articles in the form of "essays" and wrote "Intensive Reading of Dai Jianye's New World Stories", which combined his accumulated reading impressions with the current facts, making it both interesting and intriguing to read.
At the same time, the selection of essays strives to be comprehensive. In addition to showing positive literati anecdotes such as nobleness, broadmindedness and generosity, there are also human defects such as organic deception, meanness and luxury, and occasionally there are deep feelings, blood, humor, teachers and celebrities. From the perspective of emotional color, positive and negative are equally important; Judging from the representativeness of the selected works, most of them choose anecdotes with individuality and characteristics, with 120 excerpts, accounting for nearly one tenth of the original works, which shows that the original works are humorous.
Although the theme is different and the way of presenting events is different, to sum up, a word "strange" may cover more than half of the content. Weird people's quirks, weird things, and things that modern people find incredible are all recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, which was excavated by Mr. Dai and presented to us earthly mortals.
You see:
Wang Ziyou (Hui Shi, the son of Wang Xizhi) and Ke (Huan Yi), one is a famous calligrapher and the other is a "flute saint", both of whom are contemporary masters. However, the host and the guest completed a spiritual exchange between confidants without saying a word. One wants to listen to wonderful music, the other plays it as soon as he hears the news, and then everyone leaves without meeting. Today, I'm afraid most people will greet each other when they meet, leave contact information with each other and look forward to taking care of them in the future. But others, tacit understanding and appreciation are integrated into the flute, one is full of fun, the other is focused and wonderful, which can be described as "noble".
Similarly, Wang Ziyou went to other people's houses to enjoy bamboo, and then left without saying hello to his master, which made him a little embarrassed. This is also a kind of "noble". Today, it may be considered impolite.
Eating Luo You was worshipped by others when he was young. When he grew up to be an official, most leaders came uninvited just to eat delicious food. This is called frankness.
Wei Jie, whose skin is as white as jade, comes from a famous family and has a glib tongue. He is a model of beauty. As a result, because many people wanted to see her style, he was so weak and sick that he was actually seen dead. The so-called "watch and kill Wei Jun" is really an extraordinary beauty.
As for rich people drying books, Long Hao laughed at himself by drying his stomach, teaching his children, and joking between couples. But besides Wei and Jin Dynasties, he added some sense of humor and fireworks.
The intimacy between writing and writing is the humor in Dai Jianye's bones and the aftertaste after that humor on the basis of reading through the classics and respecting historical facts. Listen:
These truths, whether easy to say or not, are often said by people who have really seen the world. Speaking them in a slightly humorous tone will make people feel more comfortable in sensory experience.
As a professor at Huazhong Normal University, it is no accident that Mr. Dai Jianye made a hit on the Internet with his academic style. His lecture video was clicked hundreds of millions of times and praised by thousands of people. He himself said that he didn't write well, and he especially emphasized reading more famous books. Facing the original famous books, he opened the book and began to write, reading and appreciating the original work bit by bit, and perfecting it repeatedly. This shows his piety. No wonder he wrote a very sought-after masterpiece.
As far as Shi Shuo Xin Yu is concerned, Mr. Wang carefully traced back and injected personal humor genes into his interpretation. In this sense, although he is a sketch, his attitude is not sloppy at all, and he even spends more energy. So several other works collected by Dai Jianye are also worth looking forward to.
