If style is a person’s cultural temperament and mental state reflected through speech and behavior, then everyone’s spiritual temperament and cultural temperament are very different. The demeanor here should be a word with cultural connotations that expresses a person's spiritual outlook, not just a behavioral symbol. In other words, behavior is only a natural reflection of cultural spirit, not coy or pretentious. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, "elegance, love and generosity" were the common hobbies of Jian'an scribes, and calling and worshiping heroes was a characteristic of their times. For a time, people's appearance, speech and behavior became the object of criticism. For example, beards, beards, clothing, sachets and other substitutes serve as symbols. These substitutes are actually cultural symbols, and the corresponding behaviors are a cultural phenomenon. From a literary point of view, Cao Cao used "like morning dew" to imply cherishing the lives of scribes, and Cao Zhi used "dust" to metaphorize the relationship between men and women. Ruan Ji and Liu Ling used the word "Mr. Adult" to symbolize their ideal personality. The most peculiar thing is that the romantic figures in the Wei and Jin Dynasties "talked by picking up lice", which was a very elegant act without any scruples. The reason why they have so many lice is that most of them like to wear wide robes with long sleeves and do not wash them for a long time. However, there is a question mark on whether the "pure talk" that is advocated harms the country or prospers it. As far as I know, in the history of the world, there are people who "talked about it" with a calm demeanor. There are only two people who can be found in the history books. One is Wang Meng who went to the camp to see Huan Wen wearing a linen short coat; the other is Wang Meng. Mao Zedong and Snow, who lived in a cave dwelling in Yan'an, talked all night long. These are like dazzling fireworks in the sky of history, gone forever. It should be noted that in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the so-called "Wei and Jin style" were basically the life ideals and attitudes advocated and pursued by the elite intellectuals. It sings about the pursuit of personal freedom and the promotion of spiritual free will, and practices deep spiritual weirdness such as taking medicine, drinking, and talking. "Shang Tong Tuo" is a mockery of "Shang Jun". Cao Cao advocated "Shangtongtuo", thirsty for talents, and was open-minded to those who were unfaithful and unfilial; the Sima family relied on compilation to conquer the world and advocated the pseudo-morality of filial piety as ethics. "Nature" is the opposite. In "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove", the most profound performances are those of Ji Kang and Ruan Ji. The performance may be a little inaccurate, because this is just the skill of today's actors to eat, but they are acting their real life and real life. "At that time, although the sages in the bamboo forest were high in style, their etiquette and education were still complete." This was the social environment at that time. On the other hand, the old patriarchal order has collapsed, a new order has not yet been formed, and people's mental state has changed, so all kinds of shocking "performances" can be staged. Ji Kang's character as a human being can be called "upright and complete." Upright, he has a straightforward personality and is not moved by others. His principle of making friends is "to make high-quality friendships but not to keep promises, and to always think of bad qualities." Therefore, he is a high-minded person who rarely knows himself. He said that he was a narrow-minded fanatic who loved studying Laozi and Zhuangzi all his life. He had a loose temperament and was not in line with etiquette. His celebrity demeanor is that he likes to sleep in, play the piano in the wild, has lice on his body, does not like to wear official uniforms, does not like to write documents, does not like to observe etiquette, and is entangled in worldly affairs. He hates being an official all his life, saying that he "will never be able to bear it". There are two things that cannot be done.” Unable to bear the burden of secular affairs, he resolutely broke off relations with Shan Tao, who recommended him. This madman, who was "not Tang Wu, but Zhou Kong", had a stubborn heart, got angry when encountering problems, and had a bad temper. With his arrogant and independent personality and his detached and elegant taste, he profoundly influenced the style of a generation of scholars. His straightforward character, unabashed stance and attitude towards choosing friends were the reasons why he was eventually killed. Ji Kang was uncooperative, but he was in a dilemma and was attacked from both sides. "Not Tang Wu but weak Zhou Kong", with the accompaniment of a song "Guangling San", let Sima cut off Dahao's head, and Guangling San became famous forever. Compared with Ji Kang, Ruan Ji seems to be more tolerant and protected by the Sima family. Ruan Ji was famous for being "extremely cautious" and "not talking about people". At that time, he reduced his verbal expression to the minimum harm to himself, and used body and behavioral language to express his emotions and life beliefs. Drinking and pretending to be crazy were his characteristics. A most prudent way of expression. He is crazy and can have no clues. "There are no heroes at that time, so Zhuzi became famous." He drives alone and cries when he is exhausted. Like Ji Kang, he attacked etiquette and etiquette scholars extremely, "How can etiquette be set up by our generation?" He was not bound by hypocritical morals and ethics, and fulfilled what Wang Rong said, "What you love is what you love." The life demands of my generation.

As for his sending his sister-in-law to Guining, lying drunk next to the beautiful woman next door, and mourning for the unmarried woman he didn't know who died, they all reflected his bold and uninhibited heart of "magnanimous on the outside but honest on the inside". Ruan Ji's treatment Women are full of humanity. He knows how to appreciate and discover the intelligence and beauty of women. This is very different from Ji Kang. When it comes to commenting on political events and political figures, it seems that Ruan Ji is better than Ji Kang. Compared with Ji Kang's open-mouthed speech, Ruan Ji strictly followed the principle of "speaking without revealing the character". When it comes to politically sensitive topics, he is extremely cautious in deliberately diluting or changing the tone. When dealing with political figures, he adopts the principle of distance or shows mercy. When meeting with a political figure, he "wouldn't say a word the whole day"; Sima wanted to marry him, but he was drunk for two months and avoided seeing him, so Sima could only "keep silent". His attitude of passive participation in politics was performed through drunkenness, and he was not punished for being drunk. Whether he was feigning madness or pretending to be drunk, it was his whole-body means of avoiding harm. Xiang Xiu and Lu An followed Ji Kang in his early years. The three had the deepest friendship and lived together in Luoyi and Shanyang. Ji Kang was killed and Xiang Xiu was conscripted into Luo. Passing through Shanyang, it was cold and desolate. Hearing the mournful flute played by his neighbor, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, so he wrote "Reminiscence of the Past" in memory of his deceased friend. Xiang Xiu was forced to become an official, and he could not withstand the high pressure of the Sima family. Although Sima Zhao humiliated him in public, "How can I surrender when I hear that you have the ambition of Jishan?", but he won "everyone was happy" because he was not admired as a hermit. Xiang Xiu is sober, goes beyond etiquette, takes care of himself, and cherishes life. The swan song of "Guangling San" and "Listen to the Flute in the Mountain Sun" are not just the tragic songs of scholars, but also awaken the respect for the consciousness of life. Other characters in the bamboo forest, such as Wang Rong and Shan Tao, seemed to have prosperous official careers in Sima's court, but they were forced to accept it to save their lives. They want to be spiritually transcendent, but they cannot. Presumably, the kind of life they pursue is the kind of life in which they "hold a cup of wine and sing the praises of Zhuang Lao from afar", "take lightness as the economy", "like drinking, pay no attention to worldly affairs, and regard seclusion as the highest priority". After Ji Kang's death, Wang Rong passed by Huang Gong's Jiu Lao and saw that in the place where he used to travel, he could not see the things he saw but missed the people and lamented the mountains and rivers, which showed his inner discomfort. Ji Kang was tortured and entrusted his children to Shan Tao, but not to his brother Ji Xi, which shows the friendship between the two. After that, Lu Ji's neck was killed, which was another song "How can we hear the roar of the cranes in Huating again?" The Huating is still there, the wind is howling and the cranes are chirping, which can't help but remind people of Li Si's Shang Cai Dongmen. Yellow dog. Zhang Han, who entered Luo as an official at the same time as Lu Ji, envied Ruan Ji's willfulness, boldness and uninhibitedness. He was extremely clear-headed in the face of dangerous current affairs and was determined not to exchange his official title for the happiness of his life. "It would be better for me to have a posthumous reputation than a glass of wine in time." When he saw the autumn wind blowing, he thought about Wuzhong wild vegetable soup and seabass clams. He suddenly realized that "life is so precious, how can you lead an official for thousands of miles to get a good name!", so he drove away. Return. As for Tao Yuanming in the late Jin Dynasty, compared with Ji Kang's dilemma, he was much more calm. He pursues the realm of nature throughout his life, and cannot behave contrary to his nature, just like a wealthy lady whose "life-long hobby is nature". Anyone who tries to force her to lean on the door and show off is absolutely unacceptable. He didn't understand the music, but he loved the harp. Whenever he was drunk and his ears were warm, he would play it. "But if you know the music in the harp, how can you always play the music on the strings?" For a person who has the most genuine love, the harp is just a form to him. No matter who comes to visit him, he will serve him the best wine. Whenever he gets drunk first, he will say, "I want to get drunk and fall asleep, but you can go." His almost childlike innocence is his sincere personality. He is not a person who escapes from life, but wants to break away from the fetters of officialdom. We can also count the latecomers. The five most relegated poets of the Tang Dynasty, Han Liuliu, Baiyuan, Su Shi of the Song Dynasty, Li Zhi of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Hongdao, Li Yu of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Mei, etc., all bear the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is inconvenient to elaborate one by one here. Fundamentally speaking, the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties laid the foundation of the personality of ancient Chinese literati, which was the pursuit of personal freedom and the promotion of spiritual free will.
