Wei Jue is a typical son of a family in the Western Jin Dynasty - with a good background, good looks, and good style. In history, he is white and beautiful. Wei Jue's handsome uncle Wang Ji traveled with him, and he was also ashamed of himself. said that Wei Jue beside him is "a pearl on the side, bright and bright". Wei Jue's grandfather is Wei Xuan, the old man is very alive, he became famous in one fell swoop for killing Deng Ai and harming Zhong Hui after Pingshu, and was killed with Sima Liang in the Eight Kings Rebellion, and the old man is also "used to seeing swords and swords". But Wei Jue's life has "gone away from the drums and horns".

At that time, there were two routines for the growth of the sons of the family: one was to rely on the merits of his father and ancestors to rise to the top of the ranks. Another is to carry forward his family's right to interpret a certain discipline and control public opinion. Those who walk on two legs have achieved Pei Wei and other "beautiful sons with Chinese characteristics" who not only left the philosophical work "Chongyou Theory" but also mixed well in the political arena. There are also those who are not interested in either, such as Xun Cang. Xun Cang was Cao Cao's chief strategist, and later the youngest son of Xun Yu, the Shangshu of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He was not interested in reading the Bible, and was very dissatisfied with his father's and brother's observance of etiquette, and once threatened that he was most interested in only beautiful women. Seeking benevolence, he really married a beautiful wife, Cao Hong's daughter. Since then, he has loved beautiful women wholeheartedly and has become the originator of the male protagonist in romance novels. Once, Xun Cang's wife was sick and had a fever, in order to make his wife feverish, Xun Cang stood in the yard in the winter and froze, and then ran home to hug his wife. So repeatedly, Xun Cang was also tossed to death.

Wei Jue is also such an infatuated lover, but what he is infatuated with is not feelings, but life.

The Wei family is a family of calligraphy. The process of Chinese calligraphy from official script to regular script began in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was completed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty by Wang Xizhi. Legend has it that Wei Shuo, a student of Zhong Xuan, passed on the book to Wang Xizhi, and Wei Shuo's calligraphy theory "Pen Array Diagram" compares the points in calligraphy to the peak of the dangerous stone, the thousands of miles of clouds, the continuous fire of a hundred crossbows and the withered vine of long live. And Wei Shuo is Wei Jue's aunt.

The scenery that is forgotten in the eyes of others has become the object of careful speculation in them. Wei Jue also inherited this talent of delicate thinking. Wei Jue is exquisitely clear, known as a jade man, and his body is relatively weak, but he is a bit like Sister Lin. When he was a child, he went to Leguang's house to play, pulled the hem of Leguang's clothes and timidly asked: Why do people dream?

Le Guang was a great philosopher who was famous all over the world at that time. But this question still scared him. Unexpectedly, a child actually asked a question that he had never thought of, which was quite embarrassing. Le Guang thought for a while and replied: "Dreams are thoughts." Wei Jue asked again: "Then I have never thought about it, and I haven't encountered things that appear in my dreams, is it also because I want to?" ”

Le Guang was overwhelmed by this typical Socratic interrogation of attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and he didn't know how to answer it. But children, it's so coaxing, at that time, there was a little girl in Leguang's family who was also the year of the general horn and smiled and smiled, so Leguang beckoned and said to the little girl, you children go out to play together!

Wei Jue obediently followed his little friend. But it didn't take long for him to get sick, because Le Guang didn't give him a satisfactory answer, and he couldn't think of it himself, so he wanted to get sick. When Le Guang heard about it, he was startled again, and hurriedly ran into the study to ask the ancients, and then went straight to Wei's house with a copy of "Zhou Li".

"There are six types of dreams. The first is a dream, untouched, and peace is a dream. The second is nightmares, dreams of astonishment. The third is to dream, to ask for something during the day and to think about it at night. The fourth is dreaming, waking fantasies, daydreams. The fifth is happy dreams, happy dreams. The sixth is the fear of dreams, and the fear of dreams. ”

This explanation was given by Liu Xiaobiao when he made a note for "The World Says New Words", and what Le Guang said at that time was a mystery after all. However, when Le Guang looked at Xiao Wei Jue with a sick face but bright eyes, he made up his mind that his little girl had a husband.

The years when Wei Jue grew up were from the era of Emperor Taikang of Jin Wu to Emperor Yongxi of Jin Hui, which was a rare era of peace and unification in China since the end of the Han Dynasty. However, there is also the struggle between the two princely groups represented by the fool prince and the prince of Qi, after Emperor Hui of Jin succeeded to the throne, Jia Nanfeng relied on the struggle between the vassal king and the Yang Jun group, and more and more fierce ethnic minorities began to move inward, and a dangerous whirlpool was gathering under the "Golden Valley Junyou, Tongluo Alley".

The sensitive Wei Jue saw these dangers under the peace. As Wei Heng's second son, he doesn't have to inherit the title of Duke of Lanling County like his eldest son Wei Qi, whether he wants to or not, he has a reputation as a nobleman, has a comfortable life, and can choose his life more freely. He is intelligent, but his attitude towards the current situation is not worry, but sadness. Wei Jue refused to hold any official position, he skipped the link of WTO accession relief, and he chose to understand the sorrow that no matter how life is lived, it will return to extinction. This sadness of his can only be alleviated when he talks to his friends about philosophical issues. Life is so short, if you don't figure out the unclear questions before you die, will you die unjustly?

He transforms his focus on trivial and concrete events into an abstract metaphysical focus, as if this can increase the concentration of life. It's a pity that Wei Jue didn't leave an article, and we can't know the specific content they talked about back then, but we can know a little bit from the topics that Wang Dao was passionate about at almost the same time. Wang Dao crossed the river, and he liked to talk about three topics the most: the theory of life without sorrow, the theory of exhaustion and the theory of health preservation. These three topics almost all began with the debate between Ji Kang and Xiang Xiu, and have since become part of the cultural life of celebrities and celebrities. Wei Jue's discussion may not have made any scholarly contributions to the history of philosophy, but he inadvertently showed a philosophical attitude to life: bearish.

Historically, there have also been many bearish people. Because I can't get it, I just say, what's so good, pretend to look down on it. For example, a person who has been degraded and lost his official position has to move out of Tao Yuanming to talk about masturbation, but deliberately ignores the difference between "can't" and "don't". But Wei Jue, such a family background and such a look, there is really too much capital that can "overwhelm the crowd": look at Jia Mi, who is his contemporary, swaggering everywhere; Let's take a look at Pan An, whose family background is not as good as Wei Jue's, but he is still smashed by fans full of flowers and fruits; Look at Wei Jue again to understand his humility.

Wei Jue is pessimistic about the nature of life, so this person who sees through does not like things or is sad about himself. He used to say that if someone doesn't do things well enough, then forgive them, and if someone offends them, reason with them. He is a person who has not been overjoyed and angry in his life, and he is also an alternative among the famous Chinese and Korean people of his time. Wei Jue not only received the praise of the men's "Wei Jue talked, Pingzi will never fall", but also was sought after by the girls. After Wei Jue's wife died, Shantao's son Shan Jian couldn't wait to marry his daughter to Wei Jue, completely ignoring that Wei Jue was fleeing from the dilapidated Luoyang with his old mother to Wang Dun in Wuchang at that time.

In an official-oriented society, Wei Jue's indifference is the courage to ignore tradition, but also the inner persistence, and it is also a kind of aristocratic reserve. It was no longer a weapon that emphasized individuality and opposed the mainstream in the Bamboo Forest era, he really felt that it was not important, and it was not the life he wanted.

He rejected all invitations to be officials, and when he couldn't refuse, he did Taifu Xige sacrificial wine and prince washing horses during the Yongjia period of Emperor Huai, before Liu Yuan and Shile were about to overthrow the Jin regime. The prince's horse washing is theoretically an important position, equivalent to the director of the East Palace Library, when the prince and the young master are often honored and absent, the prince will ask the prince to wash the horse if he doesn't understand the question. In normal times, the crown prince should be the official name of the princelings, and it is also the backbone of the prince's assistance to the ruling party after he ascended the throne. It's just that at that time, he, the crown prince, was probably really a position similar to "Bi Ma Wen". "Taifu Xige Sacrificial Wine" is an official who is a staff officer for Taifu Sima Yue, and with Wei Jue's sensitivity and lightness, he naturally saw that Sima Yue sent Wang Dao and them to Jiangnan to have a relationship with Sima Rui, and was preparing to run away with the emperor and the official files of the imperial court. So soon he also took his mother across the river to Wuchang to join his good friend Xie Kun.

Wei Jue's life came to an end after this river crossing. It's a bit embarrassing to let your son preside over a hasty escape from a family. Moreover, Wei Jue was a weak literati, and before he could recover his breath in Wuchang, he was dragged by the energetic Xie Kun to debate all night. Wei Jue saw that Wang Dun, who was stationed in Wuchang at this time, was not a kind person, and he had not yet settled down, so he decided to go to Nanjing to join Wang Dao. Tossing and turning, and there was a steady stream of people who came to visit him, before he arrived in Nanjing, the frail and sickly Wei Jue finally couldn't afford to get sick, leaving a legend of "watching and killing Wei Jue".

This person, who is always gentle and tolerant to people, probably will not refuse the visit of Jiangnan celebrities. It's just that no matter how lively the scene is, I'm afraid he will always be lonely. He didn't tell anyone about his loneliness, except Jiang Shui: "Seeing this vastness, I don't feel that a hundred ends intersect." Gou is inevitably affectionate, and who can send this. It was he by the river, muttering to himself in the face of the passing river - such a vast river passed away, which made people have mixed feelings. Throughout the ages, so many people have faced this same river, but who can vent these feelings in their hearts?

Chinese, although it cannot be said that the echo of the soul from nature began with Wei Jue, but it must have become so affectionate from Wei Jue. He saw the endless flow of heaven and earth, and he also saw his own insignificance, and saw that decay was coming in an instant, but he still wanted to leave something that could coexist with the mountains, rivers and rivers. How can you not have mixed feelings?

Later, the early Tang Dynasty poet Chen Ziang ascended the Youzhou platform and saw that the mountains and rivers looked like the old, but the dynasty had changed, and it had gone through several vicissitudes. He probably remembered Wei Jue's words, so he said: I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the comers after. Thinking of the world and the world, I was alone and wept.
