First, Ji Kang

Ji Kang (223-262), whose real name is Ye Shu, was born in Weiqiao County (now southwest of Su County, Anhui Province). Ji Kang lost his father in his early years and his family was poor, but he was still inspirational and diligent, and even learned a lot. He is proficient in literature, metaphysics and music and has made extraordinary achievements. Zeng Guan worships Chinese doctors, which is also called "scattered in China" internationally. Ji Kang, as a famous scholar in Wei and Jin Dynasties, is one of the famous "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest".

(1) profile

In order to avoid the sharp edge of Cao Wei's political struggle, the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest left Beijing to live in seclusion in Yang Shan. At that time, he had close contacts with Ruan Ji, Dan Tao, Xiang embroidery, Liu Ling, Ruan Xian and Wang Rong, and several people often played in the bamboo forest, so he was called "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest".

Ji Kang, a great scholar, was smart and studious when he was young, but he was arrogant and self-willed and kept away from the crowd. This character deeply influenced his life. History books say that he has few wizards, is well-read, self-taught and knowledgeable. He loved music and played the guqin very well. He was the best performer at that time. Ji Kang's calligraphy is also very famous. Self-cultivation is very high, "half drunk and one piano, sleep soundly." If the birds soar, the crowd will disperse. "His poems can also be called everyone.

Ji Kang likes to strike while the iron is hot. The iron shop is under a leafy willow tree in the back garden. He attracted the mountain spring and built a small swimming pool around the willow tree. When he was tired of striking while the iron was hot, he jumped into the pool to soak for a while. The people I met either praised him for his "quiet and refreshing movements" or praised him for his "looseness, lofty and attractive". This shows his natural and unrestrained attitude towards life.

Ji Kang drinking Ji Kang drinking was also very famous at that time. Drinking too much can forget the world and get rid of the entanglement of realistic contradictions. Ji Kang not only drank wine, but also wrote Poems at the Reception, which made people feel that there were poems in wine and wine in poems. Ji Kang drinks very sparingly and never overdoes it. He said, "What are wine and color? I am not embarrassed today: the song has been said and the wine has dried up. " On the other hand, Ji Kang also knows that it is temporary to escape from reality by drinking, because he will wake up eventually. So this is not the way to get rid of it completely.

Ji Kang took medicine Ji Kang took a medicine called "Wushi Powder", and he was obsessed with it. The basic components of Wushi powder are probably five kinds of medicines: stalactite, stone sulfur, Bai Shiying, Ziyingshi and halloysitum rubrum; In addition, some other drugs have been added. On the one hand, Ji Kang took medicine to achieve the goal of "turning weak into strong", on the other hand, it was also to alleviate the mental stress brought by the political environment. But this did not bring him spiritual stability, but caused the distortion of his character. Taking medicine made his personality hot, and it became more and more serious. Faced with many contradictions, he fell into deep pain.

Ji Kang was killed by Sima Group during the Guangling Rebellion. On the day of execution, Ji Kang asked for a guqin. After tuning, he began to play Guangling Powder. At this moment, the execution ground was silent, and the sound of the piano was full of excitement, such as resentment, weeping and lingering. After the play, Ji Kang lamented: "Yuan Xiaoni wanted to learn Guangling San from me, but I refused to teach him. Guangling San is absolutely unique today! "

Ji Kang and Sun often went to the mountains to collect herbs, even lingering, intoxicated, and met Sun Deng in Sumen Mountain. Sun Deng, the great hermit, did not answer Ji Kang's suggestion. Finally, Ji Kang is leaving. He once again asked Sun Deng, "Is your husband speechless?" Sun Deng spoke this time. He said, "Do children know fire? This kind of life is hard to avoid. Nothing to ask! " Sun Deng acknowledged Ji Kang's talent, but thought he was ignorant. Widowhood means lack of security. Sun Deng was a learned hermit at that time, and he lived in seclusion to avoid political suspicion and persecution. Ji Kang said that he was "ashamed of Sun Deng today" because he didn't listen to Sun Deng's advice and didn't live in seclusion as early as possible, which led to his own disaster.

(2) Comments by famous artists

(Kim): China is scattered, not even in the world. He is a freeloader. Form and test the silent fairy, spit and know with your heart. It is sometimes embarrassing to establish a custom and discuss it, find a mountain and contact it. Who can tame dragons? (Ode to the Five Kings)

(Tang) Bai Juyi: Brother Lu 'an is not good, and the city kills Ji Kang. The people of Sri Lanka have been dead for a long time, and their affairs are very obvious. You can't help yourself. Disasters can be prevented. A thousand years later, my clothes are full of tears. ("Miscellaneous feelings")

(Song) Li Qingzhao: The Han Dynasty inherited this tradition, and the new room was like a wart. Therefore, it is scattered in the middle, thin and cloudy, until death. ("Ode to History")

(3) the use of materials

Topic 1: self-awareness and expectations of others

Material handling: "thud, thud ..." Did you hear the crisp sound of iron? The breeze blows on the face, the strong muscles exude the breath of life, and the blazing fire cultivates noble sentiments. Ji Kang, the hero of this era and a generation of talented people, lived a blacksmith's life here. Like everyone else, you have high expectations of him, but do you dare to persuade others to be an official? Have you forgotten Dear Dan Tao (Mountain Residence)? The sonorous words have declared his disdain for official career to everyone, so let him be himself, and let the "seven sages of bamboo forest" live the life of "singing under the leaves", "drinking in bamboo forest", "boating in winding water" and "picking chrysanthemums in Nanshan" forever, and don't let vulgar filth cover up the delicate fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Maybe this is the true meaning of life. No matter what others expect, they will pursue what they think is right, freedom, loftiness, dignity of life and heroic quality, put aside others' expectations and discouragement and move towards their own understanding. (Excerpted from the composition "Chrysanthemum Fragrant Season" in Chongqing in 2004)

Topic 2: the choice of ideas

Material handling: the most contradictory thing is the literati, who seem to have a spiritual choice, between advance and retreat, between life and death.

Heroes emerged in Wei and Jin Dynasties-historians say so.

I don't know if Ji Kang is a heroine in other people's minds, but from his every choice, I conclude that he is a hero.

Ji Kang may be born with pride, unyielding in vulgarity, unwilling to admire officials, and living the life of an idyllic hermit. A generation of famous clock will admire him and be rejected. When Zhong Hui left, she didn't forget to glare bitterly. So Ji Kang went to the guillotine on the grounds of rebellion. Before the execution, the executioner asked him what he had to say. He looked up and watched 3000 Thai students kowtow to a master. Si Mazhao also looked at Ji Kang. Ji Kang knew that with his fame, all he had to do was say a pleading word to Si Mazhao, and everyone would be happy in the future. His heart is moving, his heart is hurting, has he given in? No, he knows that he is not wrong. So he said, "Bring me the piano." ..... His courage to die gave history a meaningful background, and the resounding Guangling San echoed in his ears. Ji Kang made an evocative choice between dignity and life.

Years later, we will say: This is the most touching choice! (Excerpted from the excellent composition "The Heart is on the Blade" of Shandong University Entrance Examination in 2002)

Topic 3: Can memory be transplanted?

Material handling: the desert wind blows through the ruins of the castle, and books boast about the beauty of the hanging garden. People want to hear the long-lost melody of ancient music, and time has taken away the meaning of ancient Chinese characters. The wheel of history rolls slowly, crushing many historical sites of civilization. If memory can be transplanted, I believe that ancient civilization can reproduce today.

Ji Kang, one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in the previous generation, sighed before his execution: "Guangling San has never been seen again." A famous song was lost like this. When the real "behind me, are the future generations?" . If memory can be transplanted, modern people will once again hear this eternal swan song, and Mr. Ji's memory is the music score of modern musicians. (Excerpted from 1999 Beijing Full Score Composition "Reproduce Civilization and Create Brilliance")

Theme 4: Tolerance

Material handling: Ji Kang's death happened in this background: on the one hand, Ji Kang can't tolerate people, on the other hand, Ji Kang can't tolerate people. Dan Tao kindly made him an official, but he was very angry and thought that the other party had insulted him. But it is this Dan Tao who keeps his son from becoming an orphan: Zhong Hui worships him and wants to make friends with him without even looking at him. This is actually the performance of Ji Kang's narrow-mindedness. He can't be as all-encompassing as a mountain, and he can't be as inclusive as a sea.

Some people say that this is Ji Kang's natural persistence. What is nature? Nature is tolerance. It is a pity that the rulers of that era failed to accommodate such an intellectual and eliminated him as an alien.

Topic 5: Family Education

Material handling: all people's words, thoughts and behaviors are willing to be done by friends if they feel good. But Ji Kang doesn't like it, and he doesn't want others to imitate him. Ji Kang knew that he was very arrogant when he saw breaking up. But when we read his family motto for his son-Ji Kang was killed when his son was ten years old, and when he wrote this article, his son was less than ten years old-we felt as if he were two people. He taught his son to be careful about family precepts, and there was another lesson:

Tell the younger generation to be determined and determined. Second, tell the younger generation to "do the right thing" and help the poor. Be careful when you tell the younger generation. Fourth, tell the younger generation to be less, to be tolerant and humble, and to have self-restraint. Tell the younger generation not to pry into other people's privacy. He said: "mortals have their own private affairs, so be careful not to know other people's private affairs." "Tell the younger generation not to be fed by others. He said: "Filial piety is absolutely impossible for a horse and a silk gift, a car and a dress gift", because "most people are selfish and profit-oriented". If others take the initiative to give you a gift, they must ask for something in return, which is "the great evil of a gentleman".

From this point of view, we really feel very strange: Ji Kang is such an arrogant person, but his adopted son wants him to be mediocre. So we know that Zhikang himself is not satisfied with his behavior. Just because they were born in troubled times, they have to behave like this, not their original state.

Therefore, Ji Shao, who was later recommended by Dan Tao as an official, became a loyal animal trainer to protect the emperor.

On one occasion, Emperor Jinhui was defeated and trapped, and all the officials fled. Only Ji Shao, dressed appropriately, protected the emperor with his own body and died loyally.

Topic 6: Self-abuse

Material treatment: self-abuse is actually a kind of spiritual exile and a symbol of mental distress. One tendency of the literati in Wei and Jin Dynasties was to take medicine and drink alcohol, and many lice grew on their bodies. This is not so much seclusion and chic as that these departments contain elements of self-abuse. They pursue spiritual freedom and noble personality, and are unwilling to reach a compromise with the society at that time: in the conflict between ideal and reality, the energy of life can only turn inward and get temporary catharsis and relief through the sense of abuse. Ji Kang, as a man who is contrary to the times, has suffered too much mental oppression and blow. He had no choice but to take the forms of self-abuse such as drinking, taking drugs and pretending to be crazy as a way to save himself. When you are depressed, use medicine and wine and other senses to water your heart with a glass. This is also a helpless way to protect yourself.

Topic 7: Stick to yourself.

Material handling: In fact, Ji Kang is a very talented person, so Dan Tao recommended him to be an official. However, according to Ji Kang's temper, he is unwilling to accept it, so Ji Kang will break up with Dan Tao. It can be seen from this incident that Ji Kang's personality is very contradictory, because Ji Kang said at the beginning that "only Liu Chen Ruan Ji in Hanoi and Xiang Embroidery in Hanoi have close relations with God.

I think my best friend ended the relationship because of this, and it can also be seen that Ji Kang regards his own nature as extremely important and will not tolerate other people's interference. Ji Kang's behavior is not because he acts according to any ready-made rules, but everything acts according to his nature, which is the embodiment of Ji Kang's "externalization of fame and religion".

Theme 8: Roads

Material handling: Ji Kang, Ji Kang, cynical, you are the one who despairs of all this society and destroys the ethical code. You are also the person who is "not Tang Wu but thin". You, how can you let the Sima family settle on the pillow? Your loyalty and anger are unknown, so you have to rely on the hammer in your hand-the first hammer to crush the injustice in the world; Another hammer, a great vent of sadness in the chest; Another hammer warns all Chinese people for thousands of years before and after their death: Take a look, what century do I live in? With the sound of "Bang Bang", the bell rang, and you just ignored it and said, "What did you hear and see?" I would say, "smell it, see it and walk away." So you threw the hammer into the sky and laughed: "Haha ... I'm not Tang Wu, but I'm thin. See how you usurp power! " This smile, surprised the jade cup in Si Mazhao's hand, and the pitfalls are all over the place.

People say that you destroy ethics and don't care about filial piety. "alas!" Let me shout for you 1700 years ago! Perhaps this goes against your unyielding character, but it was in an era when everyone knew Sima Xin and the word "injustice" was fully understood by the world. I know that on the surface, you have destroyed the ethics, but in fact, you are angry with the behavior of people who sell dog meat (such as Sima Yi), so angry that you turn away from ethics, don't believe in ethics, and even oppose ethics! Actually! Is Sima Yi a dutiful son? But Sima killed you in the name of unfilial. Sad! "The transposition of Yin and Yang is not timely", this sad song of Qu Zi hundreds of years ago, unfortunately, has come true for you. (Excerpted from "Weeping Ji Kang")

Topic 9: Making friends

Material handling: unfair! Ji Kang! I will never see your pride in drinking again, and I will never hear the sound of your hammer while the iron is hot. A pot of wine casts your wildness: a hammer forges your steel-like character. Such a true color and such a personality have made your life.

In your eyes, the world should be like sake in your cup, without dust, residue and rancid smell, but as clear as jade and as long and sweet as Saizhilan. It's a pity that when you leafed through an ancient history of China, your name was printed on the darkest page: your eyes were full of brutal massacres and your ears were full of public lamentations. At that time, there were people who were wise to protect themselves, and even more people who had the humble ambition of "being hungry and cold, I will wait for them." Dan Tao, who always kept his word, abandoned you at this time and made you drink bitter wine: "Good wine is used to drive away troubles, so you should not be careless when looking for good friends. People know each other, you know nature, and the composer doesn't feel embarrassed. He really doesn't want to waste his genius. " In the face of Dan Tao's recommendation, you laughed, scolded and sang wildly. A piece of paper "breaking up with Shan Juyuan" blocked the back road and even showed dripping joy, which made it a good name admired by future generations. (Excerpted from "Weeping Ji Kang")

(D) Selection of finished products to show justice (National College Entrance Examination in 2002)

A bamboo forest, a guqin, a distant age. The shadow of sitting on the ground and playing the piano at sunset touched my heart. His piano is deep and high-pitched, with joy and sorrow, revealing infinite loneliness. He, a lonely hermit, a gifted scholar who has never been forgotten, deeply appreciates life in this sunset. ...

His inner anxiety and enthusiasm did not dissipate in this bleak bamboo forest, but were completely reflected in the sound of piano at this time. He listened to his own piano quietly and felt extremely gratified.

It was a wonderful song: a young chivalrous man, in order to avenge his father's death, stabbed his enemy, the powerful king, with a sword, and himself was disfigured and hanged. Listen, the treble represents the assassin's unswerving determination, shows his courage to resolutely go to the enemy, stirs up the heroic struggle to the death, and reveals a trace of sadness and admiration in euphemism. This is Ji Kang's Guangling San, the peerless Guangling San.

Ji Kang is a hermit, but he is also a fighter who is unwilling to sink and fight against Sima Group. He is like a wild crane that stands out from the crowd and stands proudly, and he is like a muddy but uncontaminated lotus.

The afterglow of the sunset shines on his heart like a mirror: I want to hide but I can't, and I want to retreat and I can't, which makes his heart full of contradictions. He could have chosen to retire, but the conscience of the literati told him not to violate justice. He despised the powerful and asked Zhong Hui sarcastically, "What did you hear? Why did you leave? " For this kind of justice, he can abandon everything: fame and fortune, even life and friendship. Isn't the article "Breaking up with Shanjuyuan" the best proof? Although life is short, he doesn't know when to see the decline of Sima's family. However, he is duty-bound to be involved in the storm of his good friend Lu An. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and grow vegetables without asking anything, but someone took the person who helped him grow vegetables away from him by despicable means. He could no longer be silent, so he chose justice and stood on the defendant's side, and he himself became the defendant.

On the execution ground, he played Guangling San for the last time, and countless people were moved by his piano sound. Do you know Xiang Xiu is missing? When the sun goes down, his car passes by your old cabin. Everything is the same, bamboo is still green, and the sunset still scatters the afterglow all over the courtyard. There is only the shadow of playing the piano in the sunset, but why not? Why don't you smell that touching swan song? Who is the loneliness of Xiang embroidery more to? Only the cool breeze blowing that night, with the distant flute, blew through the ruins and made a purring sound, as if answering his heart.

Ji Kang's shadow was finally found in the wind. ...
