5. The grand fireworks under the bamboo forest - Li Ruoxi's comment on Ruan Ji
When I was a child, I listened to stories, and I liked the distant beginning of the story the most. A long time ago, in a certain place, there was a certain group of people, and at a certain time, they had sex. When the story just started, everything seemed very strange.
It's beautiful.
In the fifth year of Zhengshi, that is, 244 AD, Ruan Ji took three of his friends to the bamboo forest near Ji Kang's residence in Shanyang. One was his nephew Ruan Xian, the other was his old friend Wang Rong, and the other was someone he met by chance on the road.
Drinking buddy Liu Ling. At this time, Ji Kang was still naked and forging iron in the bamboo forest with his muscular upper body. Xiang Xiu was still pulling the bellows unhurriedly. The two of them raised their heads and gave Ruan Ji and the others a friendly smile as a greeting.
At this time, Shan Tao, who had resigned from office and returned to seclusion, heard that Ruan Ji was coming, and he quickly drove an ox cart to Ji Kang's house. He was very happy to see old friends and new friends. At this point, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest gathered together grandly.
Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Ruan Xian, Wang Rong, Liu Ling, seven talented literati with different styles left behind the secular world where the Sima family and the Cao family were fighting fiercely, and hid in this natural and graceful world.
Quiet Bamboo Forest. At that time, the "Zhengshi Famous Scholars" were basically massacred by the Sima clan. Only Xia Houxuan, who served on the front line of Liangzhou to resist the Shu Han regime, survived. Wang Bi, the master of metaphysics, also died early. This event is called the last time in Chinese history.
The "awakening of human nature" and the "voice of the beginning" of "transcendence of the spiritual realm" finally disappeared.
In the bamboo forest, these seven brothers shook off their shoes, climbed up to the banquet, and with the help of alcohol and fragrant tea, they began to tinker with the revival of metaphysics. This was a thorough "renaissance" in the history of the Jin Dynasty. Since the decline of ethics in the Eastern Han Dynasty,
The languishing Confucianism was finally completely defeated by Taoism, ushering in the most special era in Chinese history: the two Jin Dynasties when Taoism ruled the world.
Let’s first talk about the newcomers to this term.
"Ruan Xian, a distinct and immortal name engraved in the 2008 Olympic Games"
Ruan Xian has regarded his uncle Ruan Ji as a role model for celebrities and the biggest pride of the Ruan family all his life. A little kid who has been following the crazy Ruan Ji since he was a child naturally has his own anecdotes about his childhood.
The Ruan family is divided into two branches, living across the road, which is roughly similar to the four floors of Chenjiawu, east, west, north, and south in "The Good Man". The Ruan family in the north of Daobei has a sensitive sense of politics. In that era of complicated power struggles, every time they took sides,
Success, and therefore honorable status, belongs to a high-ranking family. The Ruan family in Lunan is basically a family with well-developed literary and artistic cells. Literati are susceptible, and their political IQ has almost no lower limit, so they are very run-down, no better than those from a humble family.
Where to go? Ruan Ji and Ruan Xian are both from the Ruan family in Lunan, poor families.
Well, a sunny afternoon was a good time to dry the clothes. The Ruan family in Daobei hung out the clothes to dry. The silk and satin were dazzling, and it was a sign of wealth.
The passers-by were all envious. There were usually many idle people on the road. When there were more idle people, the topic started to arise. After exclaiming and envying the Ruan family in Lubei, he turned around and saw, why did the Ruan family in Lunan have no clothes to dry? This just made Ruan Xian happy.
Hearing this, the young man didn't say anything. He ran home and took out a pair of tattered trousers, found a bamboo pole in the courtyard, and hung them to dry in a grand manner. The whole street was lit up! Hey, what a strong aura, and the audience was shocked. The audience was stunned.
Are you wondering, you kid, deliberately tore your pants to look shabby? Ruan Xian laughed and said: Since they are so "vulgar", then I have to be "vulgar" too, so let's hang something out for them to see! Audiences
Ruan Xian stood there inexplicably stunned, but Ruan Xian laughed proudly and walked away.
Ruan Xian once drank with his tribe, and they all used wine glasses to drink. But when they saw Ruan Xian coming, they all changed to big basins, and put the big basins in the middle. Everyone drank together, and while they drank, a group of pigs also smelled it.
The smell of wine also moved to the basin to look for wine to drink. Ruan Xian simply drank with the pigs at the basin. What is natural nature and what does it mean to have fun with pigs? Anyway, I have seen the vastness of China for thousands of years.
This is a master who has become drinking buddies with a pig.
A teenage romance
Ruan Xian admired his uncle Ruan Ji, so he was naturally open-minded and unconventional. Ruan Xian's mother was seriously ill and his aunt came to visit him. For some reason, this boy fell in love with a Xianbei maidservant beside his aunt. After some flirting, the two had an affair~
Love, oh, no, it's feelings. On a dark and windy night, two young men and women who were in love secretly ran to a secluded place. The two of them were passionately in love. I touched you desperately, and you touched you desperately.
I also made a vow to never be separated. I lit a fire with dry wood and cooked the raw rice into cooked rice.
Later, Ruan Xian's mother died, and Ruan Xian had to approve Ma Daixiao's mourning. After attending the funeral, her aunt got up and went back to her husband's house. At first, her aunt promised to keep the maid, but when she left, she took her away privately. At that time, Ruan Xian
He was thanking the visitor in the mourning hall. When he heard about it, he immediately borrowed the guest's donkey and chased after him. After catching up, Ruan Xian, who was still wearing mourning clothes, said "the human race cannot be lost", took the maidservant and rode a donkey back with her. What happened later
The writer Ruan Fu was the son of Ruan Xian and his maid.
In "Tian Long Ba Bu", when Duan Yu first met Mr. Murong, he felt ashamed in his heart and thought that it was impossible to snatch the fairy sister from the hands of this rich and handsome young man. This shows that the Xianbei people, especially the Murong family, are the most outstanding.
Handsome men and beautiful women, Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty destroyed the Yan Kingdom and brought the eleven or twelve-year-old prince and his sister into the harem. He loved them very much and regarded them as treasures. The human tragedy of siblings serving one husband is
Because the genes of the Murong family are so good, the little prince Murong is probably even more charming than Brother Chun, otherwise he would not be able to fall into the hands of Fu Jian, a thick and stupid man with hairy chests.
At that time, there were too many good nobles like Longyang, and they were elegant and good people who could brag to others, so I always wondered whether Chen Caozhi, known as "Jiangzuo Weijie" in "The Superior Hanshi", would lose his money.
Being handsome can be really sad sometimes.
Ruan Xian was also an outstanding musician. Ruan Xian was good at playing the pipa and was proficient in music. It is said that Ruan Xian modified the pipa imported from Qiuci. Later generations also called him Ruan Xian, or simply Ruan.
For this reason, he was jealous and moved Ruan Xian to be the prefect of Shiping, so later generations called him Ruan Shiping. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, a copper pipa was unearthed from Ruan Xian's tomb and named it "Ruan Xian", or "Ruan" for short. Structure
It is a wooden circular resonance box with a straight handle and four strings and twelve columns. It is held upright and played by hand. In the Tang Dynasty, the pipa was a tool used to convey orders in the military, so there is a saying of "I'm drunk and I'm going to play the pipa immediately". In traditional Chinese orchestras
, Ruan and Xian instruments include Zhong Ruan and Da Ruan, which are used as the alto part of plucked instruments.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics, which has attracted worldwide attention, has greatly exaggerated traditional elements, including the traditional Chinese orchestra supported by Ruan Xian.
"Oriental Grande-Wang Rong"
This guy is a famous stingy person in Chinese history. There are many records in "Shishuoxinyu" and "Book of Jin". There is an article in the book review area of "Shangpin Hanshi" about Absalom's work "Poison~Princess and Sex~"
"The Carnival of Love—The Hippies of the Jin Dynasty", if you are interested, read it yourself.
"Born Liu Ling, named after wine"
Here, a legendary old man appears. This man is addicted to alcohol and is a well-known wine wizard in Chinese history. It is said that there is a kind of wine produced in Hebei Province now, and the sales volume is also very good. His name is "Liu Liquor".
"Lingzui" is still an old brand that has been in business for hundreds of years. It is a treasure that can apply to the United Nations for intangible cultural heritage.
He is addicted to alcohol and indulgence. If he has a few sword skills and looks strong and healthy, he will be a living "drunken sword fairy". It is very gratifying that Liu Ling has grown up to be very sorry for his mother. He is at most 1.45 meters.
With his height, he is definitely severely disabled and cannot be saved. Coupled with his ugly appearance, it is definitely a luxury for such a strange uncle to fall in love. There is only one way, and that is to spend money! Take a thick one
The RMB pad is as high as the hot girl, so you have the opportunity to go out for a ride, and it is just a ride. If you want to develop further, you have to continue to spend money.
Liu Ling was very lucky to be born in ancient times, and to a noble family, so he could not only afford food, drink, and cars, but he could also find a good wife. I don’t know if Brother Liu’s wife is beautiful or not, but
That's for sure that he is virtuous, and we have proof: once, Brother Liu's wife burst into tears and persuaded him: Husband, you drink too much. This is not a way to maintain your health. Please stop it.
Come on! Liu Ling replied: Okay! But I can't quit drinking on my own. I have to swear in front of the gods to quit. Just prepare wine and meat to sacrifice to the gods. His wife believed it, so she brought it
After buying wine and meat, Liu Ling offered the wine and meat in front of the god's table, knelt down and said, "I was born Liu Ling, and he is named after wine. One drink of dendrobium, five measures of meat and wine. Don't listen to women's words."
After that, he took some wine and meat, and ended up getting drunk again.
Liu Ling was one of the early performance artists in China, with bold fashion and the courage to devote himself to art. When he was drunk, he would sometimes not wear clothes and lie naked in the room. Guests came into the room to find him and said that he was not
He said something like that, but he replied: The world is my house, and the house is my clothes. Why do you want to get into my crotch? Using the house as underwear shows that Brother Liu must be extremely talented, hard and thick.
. As the saying goes, when God closes a door on you, he will open a window to compensate you. God did not give Brother Liu a figure and appearance, but he satisfied Brother Liu’s pride in being a man. It’s great to be a big man.
Liu Ling also likes to travel alone. He often rides in a deer cart with a pot of wine and a hoe in the back of the cart. He then tells his followers that if he drinks to death, he will bury me anywhere! Note that the cart Liu Ling plays with is
What? It’s a deer cart! At that time, most wealthy families drove ox carts, and very few drove horse-drawn carriages. Brother Liu, who was short in stature and had a big beard, drove a deer cart. Did he look like Santa Claus in Western legends?
Now he is definitely the best old friend, no matter male, female, old or young, beautiful or ugly, they will look at him with extremely intense eyes, and will not stop until he feels embarrassed and takes out his Christmas gift.
This ugly, disheveled man was sitting crookedly on it, holding a wine jar in his hand. He was humming a little tune and continued to drink. Although he was traveling by car, he had a driver and his family
Doesn’t it count as a self-driving tour if the driver is driving? After a beautiful belch, Brother Liu ordered the servant carrying a shovel behind the car: If I die drunk on the road, just dig a hole and bury me!
The servant Weiwei agreed, but wondered, did he really not even want his ancestral grave? According to "Yixian County Chronicles", he once traveled to Lunan area and died of drunkenness. After his death, he was buried in the
Liu Yao Village, northeast of today's Yicheng City (located in Xiwangzhuang Township, Shizhong District, Zaozhuang City). He lived and died drunkenly, and finally died in a gentle countryside brewed with fine wine. Brother Liu deserved his death.
Ji Kang called for people to fix the banquet, and the two brothers sat on the floor, sipping tea and drinking, and talked. Ruan Xian was a quiet literary young man with good cultivation. He just listened quietly to his uncle Ruan Ji arguing with Ji Kang and Xiang Xiu, and occasionally took a few sips.
Qingjiu. Wang Rong is a good person. He can only talk to Ruan Ji. If Ruan Ji hadn't said, I will take you to meet some powerful characters. They are all very creative and artistic young people. I guess Wang Rong will never leave in this life.
Luoyang, come to this place where birds don't shit, and create some kind of "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Grove" art group with these weird people. He prefers to fly solo. Naturally, Brother Liu is drunk on his own, and occasionally interjects a few words,
After all the hard work, you can always show off your knowledge, right? Shantao is dull and doesn't talk much. He always listens to the debates between Ruan Ji, Ji Kang and Xiang Xiu with a gentle smile. At this time, Ruan Ji has completed his duties as a feudal defender and a Taoist master.
Ruan Ji's transformation was extremely impressive when talking about it. Ordinary literati would be dumbfounded by his chatter after just a few words. They could only stare at him and watch him perform. In fact, Ruan Ji had been lonely for a long time, so he simply talked to Xiu and Ji Kang about mysteries.
They were all sharp, so the three of them kept talking until the sky was dark. Brother Liu occasionally handed over a bowl of sake, and Ruan Ji, who was thirsty, drank it down in one gulp and continued to devote himself to "Who was I before I was born, and who will be after I die?"
"It's me" is a difficult and endless cycle. This question is similar to "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" It is an extremely profound philosophical proposition, which involves a lot of biological and theological knowledge. It would take ten or eight years to talk about it.
There may not be any results.
In addition to drinking and talking, they also played musical instruments. As mentioned above, Ruan Xian plays guitar (Ruan), and Ji Kang is a top guzheng, Yaoqin player. I have always been paranoid that Wang Rong must be able to play the flute, but this guy
This was just a lack of thinking and no performance. So good, an orchestra with guitar, piano, and clarinet, which has always been very complete, was established. In addition, Liu Ling liked to knock on the wine jar, and they all played together for Ruan Ji's Qingxiao ensemble.
, Huang Yaoshi's "Blue Sea Tide Born and Gone" immediately eclipsed. Ruan Ji's whistle was like the roar of a dragon or the cry of a phoenix. This has been recorded in history books. In addition to being a famous performer, Ji Kang was also a first-line composer. He once had "
The two songs "Chang Qing" and "Duan Qing" are popular all over the country. Ji Kang composed the music, Ruan Ji sang it, and the orchestra played it. Vitas' dolphin music and Zeng Ye's sheep music are not easy to use. What is art? This
It’s called art!
I often think that if this orchestra composed of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" could perform in major cities, it would be a box office hit and packed with people. The shrewd and experienced Shan Tao as the manager and Xiang Xiu as the announcer are really amazing.
If they say that they are despondent, the Sima family will definitely not cause trouble for them later. Fortunately, Wang Rong, who is passionate about gold and silver, and Shan Tao, who is devoted to his official career, will definitely not do it. Therefore, this will be a failure as soon as possible.
He placed it on Sima's coffee table and pushed it gently, causing broken porcelain all over the floor.
Later, this story disappeared. Later, this story came to an abrupt end in my writing. After the carnival, there will always be a mess on the ground; after the prosperity, there is a rustle everywhere. In the Shanyang Bamboo Forest, there is a group of people called
The "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" held a grand banquet in 244 AD, where they performed drunken music and talked about mysteries. With their splendid literary talents, a cluster of grand fireworks bloomed in the bright starry sky of Chinese literary history.
Whether it is literary or ideological, this fireworks bloomed from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and to this day. The fireworks are still there, and there are many spectators. Whether it is praised or criticized by future generations, it blooms as naturally as its owner.
