China News Service, Beijing, August 18 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) The Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest and the "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi... Looking back at the distant Wei and Jin Dynasties, the stories of many celebrities are often breathtaking.

　　Recently, Dong Shangde, a professor of the Department of Chinese at Sun Yat-sen University, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com that Liu Ling is known for being a maverick. Although she is one of the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest", she is a person who has few friends and is very arrogant. She usually likes it. Performance Art.

　　In addition, Cao Xueqin can be regarded as Ruan Ji's "fan". To a certain extent, understanding Ruan Ji will help to understand "Dream of Red Mansions".

Liu Ling likes "performance art"?

　　"Shi Shuo Xin Yu" is a "phenomenal" classic. It mainly records the words, deeds and anecdotes of some celebrities from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was compiled by Liu Yiqing and his assistants of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the "Explanation of Shishuo New Language Classification", Dong Shangde once made an in-depth analysis of the story.

　　He believes that there are 36 categories in the book, but in fact there are two categories: one is positive and worthy of affirmation, such as "virtue", "founder", etc.; the other is negative and should be denied, such as " Ren's Birthday", "Fake" and so on.

　　"This shows that Liu Yiqing has a valuable judgment and is reflective. The characters and their stories in the book are highly representative." He said.

　　Many characters and stories recorded in Shishuoxinyu are vivid and vivid.

"Drunken Hou" Liu Ling is famous for being a big drinker, and he also contributed several allusions such as "Pillow Song Borrowing Bad" and "Five Dou Jieyou".

　　Dong Shangde mentioned that Liu Ling is known for being a maverick. Although she is one of the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest", she is a person who has few friends and is very arrogant. "He usually likes performance art, and there are some weird colors."

　　Such a person with personality is often easy to live in the "self world", and is quite wary of the "other world" and dismissive, so Liu Ling will have the amazing theory of "I take the world as the building".

Is Cao Xueqin a Ruan Ji fan?

　　Not only Liu Ling, in the impression of many people, the celebrities of Wei and Jin Dynasties drank, played the piano, chatted... The life was quite unrestrained.

　　For example, the famous "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest".

Their stories are broadcast to the population and become a relatively unique "cultural phenomenon".

These seven people go their separate ways, have their own personalities, share the same outlook on life, and have similar attitudes towards life.

　　Therefore, they are not only irreplaceable "individuals", but also "groups" with obvious "label" meaning.

They respect individuality, resist authoritarianism, pursue the realization of "self", and have a profound influence on future generations.

　　Dong Shangde thinks that Ruan Ji and Ji Kang are the two most important characters in the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", and after thousands of years, there are still many fans.

The most famous fan behind Ruan Ji is probably Cao Xueqin.

　　"To a certain extent, reading Ruan Ji will help you understand A Dream of Red Mansions." He said that Cao Xueqin's name is "Meng Ruan", and this "Ruan" is Ruan Ji, which shows his admiration.

　　Dong Shangde believes that Ruan Ji is a representative figure who expressed respect for women and appreciation of women's beauty through individual behavior after the "Book of Songs" era, and showed his view of women to the world with absolute aesthetic vision and shocking words and deeds.

　　In addition, the social relations of ancient women, especially young women, were relatively simple, and they were less contaminated with social vulgarity, reflecting a pure atmosphere.

Jia Baoyu's artistic image is quite consistent with the image that Ruan Ji left to his descendants.

　　After understanding this, it is easy to understand why Cao Xueqin is a fan of Ruan Ji, which is the key to "researching red".

Charm beyond the ages

　　Dong Shangde once gave a summary of the common spiritual character of the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties: the appearance of Yushu is in the wind, the temperament of uprightness and arrogance, and the quality of being calm.

　　However, their hearts are often not so free and easy. Ruan Ji has also written poems such as "Can't Sleep at Night". When the night is quiet, he often comes from "worry and sadness", and his heart is actually very bitter.

　　For another example, Wang Xizhi, who is familiar to everyone, is "called by the bone".

He was born in a wealthy family, but he was not too fascinated by officialdom, and maintained a detached mentality. Therefore, he was able to specialize in art and develop a unique school.

　　Wang Xizhi didn't quite adapt to the officialdom at that time.

His fall in his later years was related to his full personality and lack of sophistication.

　　However, they do have a charm that transcends the ages. They refuse to be mediocre and do not follow others' opinions. At the same time, they have a high degree of cultural accomplishment and a high degree of judgment.

　　Dong Shangde said that the so-called "Wei Jin Merry" is actually the "externalization" of the above-mentioned various personality elements.
