Ji Kang’s musical aesthetic thoughts are based on his philosophy of life and have rich personality and spiritual foundation. The Wei and Jin Dynasties were an era of human awakening and a period of artistic self-consciousness. The noble legacy of Wei and Jin's personality was greatly appreciated by Su Dongpo and others in later generations. This unremitting search for life problems in the era of social turmoil and cultural collapse is the spirit of Wei and Jin personality and culture. With the popularity of Lao Zhuang and metaphysics, people have challenged the traditional morality of "cultivating one's moral character, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world" and replaced the ethical personality with natural personality. Ji Kang used this natural personality to oppose Sima's famous religious personality. The so-called "famous religion" means establishing a religion based on the name, that is, using Confucian ethics and morals to educate the world. The social turmoil in the late Han Dynasty had already declared the falsehood of this theory. Ji Kang made a general review of Confucian personality theory based on Lao-Zhuang's theory of natural human character and personality: "A man who calls himself a gentleman is at a loss as to what is right and wrong, and his actions are not contrary to the Tao. Why do you say this? He is calm. Those with a weak spirit have no attachment to their hearts. Those with a strong and enlightened heart have no attachment to their desires, so they can transcend the teachings of nature and let nature take its course. , Ji Kang believed that a gentleman should act in accordance with his own wishes and should not use external etiquette as a standard of conduct. Such a person is heteronomous and not free. He further proposed that it should be based on natural personality. Use natural personality to govern social personality. Ji Kang's aura showed his firm confidence in the pursuit of nature and individual personality. In the end, he also favored this personality idea. The personality realm that Ji Kang yearns for is also an aesthetic realm of life in which there is freedom and no waiting.
