Extra: Gossip literati

This book is not to disparage the reader, and the family is not equal to the reader.

Regarding literati, many people have a more appropriate word in their mouths and impressions - villain. And the literati in my heart are Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Zhang Han, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Yong, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tianxiang, etc., forgive me for my favorite Wei Jin and the Great Song Dynasty. The meaning of the word "wen" originally meant interlacing, and when combined with people, it originally meant a person who could write and write, but with the changes of the times, more and more meanings were given, but I think that the word literati refers to an intricate person. There is a saying that words are like people, I want to ask Cai Jing Qin Hui Yan Song how, Cai Jing is a calligrapher, Qin Hui was a generous angry young man who served the country in his early years, and Yan Song left a poem of "Serving the country in his life but being loyal to the red, and being dead from people to say right and wrong". Therefore, it is not advisable to completely identify these two political victims as traitors and traitors. My explanation is that this type of people is inherently contradictory. On the one hand, he exerts his personal talents to the extreme, and on the other hand, he grabs personal rights to the extreme, and this kind of people have a very high IQ, and they can be described as geniuses in power and artistic attainments.

Regarding the tragedy of the literati, we must start with Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan is not a party or a group, so that the government and the opposition and even his own students are enemies of him, although he is committed to the reform of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but he failed, because this kind of noble literati does not know to seek personal gain, let alone help others to seek profits, but the reform will not have supporters without profit, so he failed. Before the Qin State Gongsun Martingale reform, although Gongsun Martingale Taishi Gong called him a talented and mean person, but Mr. Gongsun's reform was quite successful, because under his policy the new profit was the new nobles who held military power, although Mr. Gongsun was torn apart, but King Qin Huiwen had to implement Mr. Gongsun's line and continue to carry out reforms. This is a political tragedy, the literati are more of the ups and downs of life, such as not being able to know the Lord to abandon, endure the fame, sing in a low voice, etc., but it is these tragedies that have made them, the names of officials recorded in history are more than 10 million, but everyone can remember a few, and these tragedies of the literati are familiar to everyone.

Su Shi, I don't think it's a tragedy, because Su Shi does have the ability to govern the local and the country, but unfortunately failed to achieve a high position, and Su Dongpo's character is more optimistic, even if his life is bumpy, but he never bows to fate, although he once wrote "The boat passed away, and the river and the sea sent the rest of his life" scared the state officials to think that he committed suicide. In the era of Shenzong, when everyone began to tell lies, Su Dongpo was a person who loved to tell the truth, Wang Anshi was in power when he was the old party to suppress, and then the old party took the throne and liquidated the new party, he spoke up, and was suppressed as a new party, all said that the Ming Dynasty died in Shenzong, I think it is debatable, the Great Song Dynasty died in Shenzong is true, Shenzong wanted the courtiers to eat dogs, and finally he was arbitrary, but in the end he made a mess of the court, and handed over to future generations a mess of party contention, only talking about factions and not talking about right and wrong, Wen Tian and Wu frolic, and the country will never recover, from the rule of the sages in the era of Zhenzong Renzong to the rule of the six thieves in the era of Huizong, and finally succeeded in playing the Great Song Dynasty.

Although I admire Su Shi very much, I can't do it, except that I don't have the talent, mainly because I don't have his backbone. I, in fact, am not qualified to be a literati, and compared with the sages, the gap is more than nine heavens. It's just that occasionally it's a little bit elegant, fun and ancient, and I'm just playing the level of limericks, and people must be self-aware.

Some people think that literati always have some small problems or hobbies that are different from ordinary people, such as Mi Fu who likes to steal, and likes prostitutes to drink and take Wushi San, etc., etc., this is a kind of spiritual indulgence in ancient times, after all, the ancients did not have video games and KTV, etc., not as casual as in TV series, that is all blind. Today, we are already a modern civilization, and individual behavior cannot go beyond the scope of the collective code of conduct, and too much promotion of individuality is actually not beneficial to others or oneself. What's more, many people just see Liu Ling and Li Bai's alcoholism, but they don't see more of their wonderful words and deeds; Many people only know that some literati have some romantic affairs in the Qinglou, but they don't find that these people are more upright and bright than today's people, and they are affectionate and righteous. First of all, these people have real talents and real learning, and secondly, they have some colors in life, and they can drink more than Li Bai, but Li Bai is only one, and he is much happier than Liu Yong in Qinglou, but Liu Yong is also one.

I would like to use this article to clear up some misunderstandings, and welcome you to shoot bricks. There will be many more vivid characters in the later chapters, such as the geek Liu Mingge.
