Chapter 11 Chapter 3 Spirit

Ji Kang was five years old when Zhuge Liang made his first northern expedition. Ji Kang was the spiritual leader of famous scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and also an important figure in that period.Could there be any relationship between him and Zhuge Liang? Of course not, but they are all beautiful.Zhuge Liang is eight feet (1.84 meters) long, and Ji Kang is seven feet and eight inches long;As you can imagine, that was quite dramatic. In fact, Zhuge Liang before he came out of the mountain was an elegant and handsome young man.He plows the fields, not necessarily to make a living; he reads books, but only to observe the general situation.Perhaps what he likes most is not reading at night or talking loudly, but hugging his knees and screaming in the mountains and forests in the early morning and at night.

What kind of demeanor is this? Wei and Jin demeanor. Indeed, the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties actually began at the end of the Han Dynasty, and one of the signs was the popularity of Xiao.Howling means that the lips are tightened and raised to let the air flow out from the tip of the tongue, which is roughly equivalent to whistling.You can also pinch your lips with your fingers, or insert your fingers into your mouth, and the sound will be sharper and louder. In principle, howling must have the environment and conditions, and it is usually in the deep mountains and valleys, under the lush forests and bamboos, when you climb high and look far, when you feel relaxed and happy.This kind of howling is a kind of self-cultivation and self-indulgence, as well as self-expression and self-appreciation, of course it is extremely elegant.

Therefore, Xiao has become one of the status symbols of celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Among the celebrities, Ruan Ji is the best at howling. It is said that his howling can be heard hundreds of steps away.Once, Ruan Ji met an accomplished man named Sun Deng in Sumen Mountain.No matter what Ruan Ji talked to him, he would hug his knees and close his eyes to rest, so Ruan Ji had no choice but to scream away.Walking halfway up the mountain, I heard howling from afar, like a dragon singing and a phoenix singing, and the mountains echoed.Looking back, it was Sun Deng. Looking at it this way, when Zhuge Liang hugged his knees and screamed, wasn't he a fairy-like figure?

Exactly. However, Zhuge Liang finally walked into the world of mortals, and those celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties may not really be able to stand aloof.People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, but few people are more involuntary than those in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.There are always open and secret struggles among various political forces, and celebrities are actually caught in a dilemma.Most of them did not dare to openly confront, and the only one who could pin their feelings was Xiao. For example Ruan Ji. Ruan Ji, like his friend Ji Kang, was inclined to Cao's family in the political struggle at the end of Wei Dynasty.However, Ji Kang openly held a non-cooperative attitude towards Sima, but Ruan Ji did not dare.Sima Zhaojia Jiuxi's persuasion form was drafted by him.Although in order to avoid this incident, he once got very drunk.

However, Ruan Ji still hopes to maintain a certain degree of independence, and he is even less willing to be regarded as Sima Zhao's ordinary staff.His method is to pretend to be crazy by drinking, and shout proudly at Sima Zhao's banquet.It's actually not that simple.Because it is very arrogant and disrespectful to howl in front of the venerable in public; while the other people at the banquet all sat solemnly and solemnly. Sima Zhao acquiesced in Ruan Ji's arrogance.This was not only because he was partial to Ruan Ji, but also because the presumptuousness of celebrities had become commonplace in the society.Later, Xie An's elder brother Xie Yi, although he was Sima under Huan Wen's tent when he was the governor of Jingzhou, he also screamed at the banquet with disheveled hair.Huan Wen couldn't laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to say that Xie Yi was his "sima outside the system".

I didn't expect Xie Yi to go too far than Ruan Ji.He not only screamed, but also went crazy with alcohol, and he followed Huan Wen wherever he went.In the end, Huan Wen had no choice but to hide in the house of his wife, Princess Nankang, and the princess said sarcastically: "A rare visitor!"If it weren't for that Kuang Sima, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet my husband! What is this pie called? Celebrity style.Those who have this style of pie are called Mingshi pie. What is a celebrity?Celebrities originally referred to scholars all over the world, which existed in the Warring States Period.However, it was at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the elites of the gentry were regarded as celebrities and became a social group and a popular concept.After the catastrophe of the party's imprisonment, public opinion made rankings for scholars under various names (please refer to the ninth volume of the Chinese History "The Two Hans and Two Romes"), and the famous scholars are on the list.

Later, rankings were discontinued, and it became a fashion to criticize people, and Xu Shao is a famous expert in this field.He is unwilling to comment on Cao Cao, probably because Cao Cao is really not a celebrity.But calling Cao Cao a hero is of great significance. In fact, there are two types of characters who had the greatest influence on society in the late Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties: heroes and celebrities.The former is represented by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zu Ti, Liu Kun, Wang Dun and Huan Wen, while the latter is represented by Kong Rong, Ruan Ji and Ji Kang. These are two very different types.

That's right, celebrities and heroes have a lot in common.At least, their hearts are full of pride, and they are different from popular customs.Although celebrities are unrestrained, indulgent, contemptuous of the mundane world, and informal, why do heroes really pay attention to ethics and public opinion?When Huan Wen read the "Biography of Gao Shi", when he saw the story of a "moral model", he was so disgusted that he threw away the book. However, their roles are not the same. It is possible for heroes to create history. Although history is not necessarily created by heroes, those who promise themselves as heroes often take it as their own responsibility.In their view, achieving a great cause is originally destined, and seizing the world is just something out of pocket.Therefore, most of the heroes are heroic, full of self-confidence, and are not afraid to show their true colors and even ambitions. This is called "heroic spirit".

Celebrities mostly only have style.Because celebrities can't create history, they can only write or comment, and they may not be able to do it by them.Therefore, the pride and self-confidence of celebrities can only be expressed as personal demeanor and attitude towards life.For example, he is suave, suave, unconventional, proud of his talents, and outstanding. Perhaps this is the difference: heroism, celebrity style; heroic qualities, celebrity style.Of course, whether it is a hero or a celebrity, it has to be true. Only a great hero can show his true colors, and he is a real celebrity.

Merry is not looking for flowers and asking willows, although it may not be without seeking or asking.It refers more to a kind of demeanor and standard, so it must be expressed in style.Wang Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said that it is not difficult to be a celebrity, as long as you do nothing, drink heavily, and read "Li Sao" well.This is actually wind. Looking up to the sky and screaming is a kind of style. Undoubtedly, since romanticism is demeanor, it must be fashion, and it will definitely change.Generally speaking, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the integrity was emphasized, Wei Shi liked to be dissolute, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still detached.Celebrities in the Wei and Jin dynasties not only whistled, but also drank, and some even took medicine.This medicine is called Wushisan. After taking it, the skin becomes hot and easily bruised, so I can only wear loose old clothes, and lice will grow on my body.

Therefore, it has become a style of celebrities to hold lice and talk at the same time, which is called "talking while touching lice".Wang Meng, who later became the counselor of the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian, is famous for this.And such a kind of indifference shows a haughty attitude and an unruly personality. However, after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the arrogance of celebrities gradually subsided, and what they admired was Xuanyuan's plain talk.Wang Dao, Huan Wen, Xie An, and Emperor Jian Wen were also masters of the game, and celebrities began to mingle with the ruler. What's more, the most important thing in a clear talk is profound principles, quick thinking, elegant posture, and pleasant conversation.In this kind of occasion, probably no howling can be heard, and no one will go crazy with alcohol. Isn't the Eastern Jin Dynasty quite different from the Han and Wei Dynasties? There is of course a reason for this. In fact, relative to heroes, celebrities can only be regarded as vulnerable groups.They have no public power, no guns, only full of economics, full of complaints, and pretentious rhetoric.It's a pity that the weapons of criticism are no match for the criticism of weapons, and the empire does not want its subjects to have independent personalities and opinions.Persisting in arrogance and unruly will pay the price of life. Ji Kang is.
