Ji Kang is a master of art. His works, such as Sound Without Sorrow, Difficult to Learn Nature, A Teacher's Advice, Ming Dan and Relieving Private Health, have been handed down from generation to generation, and he plays the piano very well, especially Guangling San, which attracts attention. Ruan Ji, who was thirteen years older than him at that time, was as famous as him. There is often a saying in the history of music that "Qin Qin is Ruan Xiao", but Ji Kang is superior to Ruan Ji in both thought and personality. Ji Kang dismissed the long-standing dogmatic etiquette and hated the filthy and treacherous official career. He would rather be an unknown and free blacksmith outside Luoyang than follow the crowd. He is obsessed with pursuing the lofty realm of life in his heart: getting rid of bondage, releasing humanity, returning to nature and enjoying leisure. Wang Xiong's fire and powerful hammering are wonderful interpretations of this realm. Therefore, when his friend Dan Tao recommended him to be an official in the imperial court, he resolutely broke up with Dan Tao, and wrote the famous "Breaking Up with Mountain Residence" in cultural history to clarify his feelings.
As an honest and frank person, he lost his father when he was young, and he was inspirational and diligent. Married to the owner of Changle Pavilion (one is the granddaughter of Cao Cao and the daughter of Cao Lin; Said to be Cao Cao's great-granddaughter, that is, Cao Lin's granddaughter) as his wife, when Cao Shi was in power, he worked as a doctor in the government office. Si Mazhao wanted to win over Ji Kang, but Ji Kang tended to be on the royal side in the political struggle at that time and took an uncooperative attitude towards Sima Shi, so he was quite jealous. Zhong Hui, Si Mazhao's confidant, wanted to make friends with Ji Kang, but he was given a cold shoulder. Since then, he has made a feud. Ji Kang's friend Lu An was falsely accused by his brother as unfilial. Ji Kang came forward to defend Lu, and Zhong Hui advised him to take the opportunity to get rid of Lu and Ji. Ji Kang's outstanding talent and carefree lifestyle finally brought him disaster. His life philosophy of "not Tang Wu, but thin Zhou Li" and "the more famous a teacher is, the more natural he is" deeply hurt the key of the ruling class: Ji Kang despised the classics of sages so much and hated official career. If it goes on for a long time, it will not endanger my peaceful rule. This man can't kill Zhengmin, the king of Qing Dynasty. Isn't there a Lu An case here? If you are involved with him, you can kill him without giving anyone a hand. Then, under the slander and incitement of some villains who hated Ji Kang, in 262 AD, the ruler Si Mazhao ordered Ji Kang to be executed. On the execution ground, 3,000 Thai and Thai students wrote to the court to pardon Ji Kang and worship him as a teacher, showing the society Ji Kang's academic status and personality charm, but this "unreasonable demand" will certainly not be accepted by those in power. Ji Kang's thought at this moment is not that his radiant life is coming to an end, but that there is no successor to a wonderful music. He asked for a piano and played the final "Guangling San" on a high execution platform in front of thousands of people who came to see him off. The sonorous piano sound and mysterious tunes are overwhelming and float into everyone's heart. After the play, Ji Kang calmly poked the beginning, when he was only 39 years old.
Ji Kang was born in a poor family, and often worked with Xiang Embroidery to strike the iron in the shade, not to make a living, but to follow his own wishes. Your son Zhong Hui is brilliant and eloquent. One day, Zhong will come to visit and bring a large number of officials. Seeing this scene, Ji Kang was disgusted. He ignored him and just bowed his head and worked. Zhong Hui has stayed for a long time, and he is dissatisfied. At this moment, Ji Kang spoke: "What did you hear?" What did you see and where did you go? "Zhong Hui immediately replied," as soon as I heard it, I saw it and left. "Then I left. Later, Zhong Hui hated Ji Kang's guts and often spoke ill of him in front of Si Mazhao.
According to Liu Ji's Qin Yi, Ji Kang learned Guangling San from Du Kui's son Dumont. Ji Kang likes this song very much and often plays it, which attracts many people to ask for advice, but Ji Kang never teaches it. After Sima Shi came to power, he refused to agree with his rule. He, Ruan Ji, Xiang Embroidery, Dan Tao, Liu Ling, Ruan Xian and Wang Rong were also called "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" and fought against Sima Shi, who was later killed at the age of 40. Before he was executed, 3000 students pleaded for him, but they were not allowed. On his deathbed, Suoqin played this song, sighing, "Guangling is scattered today." The statue brick of Ji Kang unearthed from the tomb of the Southern Dynasties in Xishanqiao, Nanjing, depicts the image of Ji Kang sitting on a violin, commanding and imposing.
Ji Kang loves music. He said in the preface: "I have a good voice, but I have lived with it for a long time, thinking that things have ups and downs, but this has not changed." The taste is boring, which is tireless. " He is very familiar with traditional and contemporary Qin Le, which can be seen from his Fu Qin. Ji Kang's four melodies, which are loose in wind, long and short, long and short, are collectively called "Ji's four squares" and "Cai's five squares" in Cai Yong as "Nine squares", which are a famous group of melodies in ancient China. Yang Di once regarded playing Jiunong as one of the conditions for getting a bachelor's degree, which shows its great influence and high achievements.
Ji Kang is not only famous for playing Guangling San, but also has unique contributions in music theory, namely Fu Qin and On Sound without Sorrow and Music. Fu Qin mainly shows Ji Kang's understanding of Qin and music, but it also reflects Ji Kang's view that it is different from Confucian traditional thought. The Theory of Sound without Sorrow and Music is the author's direct and concentrated criticism of the Confucian thought of "ruling the world with music". Among them, Ji Kang's insight into music shines brightly.
Wang Rong has been in contact with Ji Kang for twenty years, but he hasn't seen the bad guys yet. Therefore, it left a good name of "alienation of interests and open mind"; Ji Kang, on the other hand, has the side of "just being sick in the intestine, careless and easy to do anything". His masterpiece Breaking Up with Mountain Garden and his love for Guangling San are the manifestations of his cynical and unruly character, and his contempt for Si Mazhao led to his death, which is an obvious example of this kind of integrity.
Ji Kang is good at calligraphy, and his works are good at cursive script, and Tang Zhangyanyuan's calligraphy is the second. Also good at Dan Qing. In the Tang dynasty, there were "bird's nest washing ears" and "lion beating elephant", which were passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, it's all lost now. Editor's appearance and demeanor Ji Kang's demeanor is extraordinary, which is the symbol of the world. History contains:

That is to say, Ji Kang is tall (Wei ruler has no clear conversion standard, and the conversion contract between Han ruler and Jin ruler is181.74 ~191.1), with beautiful appearance, pleasant voice and excellent literary talent. Although I don't deliberately dress myself up, I can reveal the beauty of nature through my detachment.
