Introduction to Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest The seven sages of bamboo forest refer to seven people, namely Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Dan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian. Because he often lived under the bamboo forest in Shanyang County (now Huixian County, Henan Province) at that time, drinking and having fun freely, he was called the seven sages of the world, and later named the bamboo forest after the land name. Bamboo grove is a Buddhist classic attached by scholars in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, the theory of "Geyi".
Wei Shaosheng pointed out in the article Textual Research on Several Issues of Seven Sages in Bamboo Forest (academic journal of zhongzhou No.5 1999) that "Bamboo Forest" should be located in Shanyang County, where Ji Kang, the central figure of the Seven Sages, lives. However, Mr. Chen Yinque thinks that there are "seven sages" first, and then "bamboo forest" in the third article of "Notes on the History of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties". As the author of The Analects of Confucius, the number of "seven sages" is the same as that of "three kings" and "eight handsome men" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the style of "righteousness" prevailed. At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tianzhu was named "bamboo forest" and added to "seven sages" to become "seven sages of bamboo forest". "Bamboo grove" is neither a place name nor a real "bamboo grove".
The works of the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest basically inherited the spirit of Jian 'an literature. However, due to the bloody rule at that time, writers could not express their thoughts directly, but could only express their thoughts and feelings subtly and tortuous through metaphors, symbols and myths. They have always been respected by people.
Ji Kang was born in Luo County (now southwest of Suzhou, Anhui Province) when he introduced the Three Kingdoms. Although his family is Confucian, they don't learn from teachers, but only say that they are good at Laozi and Zhuangzi. Married into the Wei imperial clan, the official is scattered in the doctor, so it is also called scattered in the middle. Advocating the way of natural health preservation, he wrote the theory of health preservation and advocated "letting nature take its course". He made close friends with Wang Rong, Liu Ling, Xiang embroidery, Dan Tao, Ruan Xian and Ruan Ji, and was called "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest". Later, because of different interests, he went to be an official and took him as his own generation, and then wrote a book and broke up with Tao; Because of the estrangement from Zhong Hui, he was killed in Si Mazhao at the age of forty and became a general. Ji Kangshan is famous for playing Guangling San. There is San Ji in Jizhong, with Ji Kang in Jizhong compiled by Lu Xun as the essence.
On Ruan Ji's Poets in the Last Years of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms. Black Sect, one of the seven sages of bamboo forest. Wei people, once a captain of the infantry, were called "Ruan Infantry" in history. Worship the learning of Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi, but take a cautious attitude to avoid disasters politically. With Ji Kang, Liu Ling and other seven people as friends, they often gather under bamboo forests and enjoy themselves, and are known as the seven sages of bamboo forests in the world. Ruan Ji is the representative of the "beginning sound", among which 82 poems about the bosom are the most famous. Ruan Ji expresses his feelings through different writing techniques such as metaphor, symbol and sustenance, and satirizes the present with the past, forming a poetic style of "grief, indignation, sadness and obscurity". Besides poetry, Ruan Ji is also good at prose and ci-fu. Of the nine essays, the longest and most representative is Biography of Mr. Adult. In addition, there are six poems, such as Qing Si Fu and shouyangshan Fu. There are Ode to the Pigeon and Ode to the Monkey. Thirteen volumes of Ruan Ji Ji Ji Ji were recorded in Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi, but I'm afraid it has been lost. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Pu compiled Ruan Infantry Collection, collecting books of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties 130. The closest thing to the Yellow Festival is Notes on Ruan Infantry's Love Poems. According to historical records, Wei Wendi Si Mazhao wanted to propose to his son Ruan Ji's daughter. Ruan Ji was drunk for 60 days, so that Si Mazhao didn't have a chance to speak. These things were quite representative at that time and had a great influence on later generations.
