The ranking of the four handsome men is roughly Pan An, the Great Xia Lan Ling, Song Yu and Wei Jie. It seems unfair that Wei Jie came last, because he was the only one among the four who died because of his beauty. Based on this, his face value won the other three. After all, no second person in history was "killed" because of her beauty.
"Watching and Killing Wei Jun" is recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu. The background of the story took place in the late Western Jin Dynasty, when the "Eight Kings Rebellion" and "Five Rebellions" occurred, the northern gentry fled to the south of the Yangtze River. Wei Jie first arrived in Nanchang to meet with General Wang Dun. However, Wei Jie found that Wang Dun was ambitious and conceited, and worried that he would have second thoughts on the imperial court, so he left Nanjing.
Wei Jie is still on the road, and Nanjing has already moved with the wind. "I have heard its name for a long time, and the audience is like a wall."
Just like stars appear in airports and hotels now, fans have long been crowded, and people are flocking to each other, even empty lanes, just to see the star style.
In order to repay fans, stars often hold a star meeting or something, show their faces, say a few words, and even shake hands and hug with fans to satisfy their high enthusiasm and show their responsible "personal design".
Wei Jie certainly doesn't need any "artificial"; His talent and looks are made in heaven. However, he is too responsible, and the most terrible thing is that he is weak and sick. In the era of war, he couldn't bear to travel long distances, and he was tired of dealing with three-story loyal fans, so that he eventually collapsed and was "watched to death" alive at the age of 27.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the stars were bright, from Cao Shi and his son, seven sons of Jian 'an, seven sages of bamboo forest, to Xie Wang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Celebrities are always better than literary talent, looks, humor, personality, boldness, boldness, quietness, vocal music, wealth and so on. The world is also scrambling to follow suit. It has become a noble fashion for people who can't imitate to look at the voice and appearance of the star and the calligraphy and painting of the article.
Here is an interesting story. As the predecessor of Wei Jie, Pan An was a handsome man in the Western Jin Dynasty. His appearance always caused a sensation in the whole city, and men, women and children came to meet him. In particular, groups of young girls are fascinated to death, scrambling to offer him flowers and fruits, so Pan An always comes home with a full load every time he goes out. At that time, there was a great genius Zuo Si, who was ugly. Maybe he was afraid of poverty, or he wanted to do something new, and he also wanted to follow Pan An's example of "throwing fruit", but he was spat with rotten eggs and tomatoes all over the floor.
Zuo Si is brilliant, and his masterpiece Sandu Fu once made Luoyang paper expensive. Later generations commented, "Taikang poetry, Erlu talented people are overwhelmed, Erpan talented people are reduced, and only Zuo Taichong is deeply affectionate." It is enough to show that Zuo Si's talent has already surpassed Pan An, and even later Li Bai regarded him as an idol. However, Zuo Si's talent is not as good as his own, and he has to compete with Pan An to play the role of "learning the East" and die as the first of the four beautiful men. The consequences can be imagined. But it is more likely that Zuo Taichong is just playing "performance art".
Compared with Zuo Si's beauty in Pan An, Wei Jie's face value is "the stars hold the moon".
Wei Jie's uncle, Wang Ji, was a general of Xiaoqi in the Tang Dynasty. "He is handsome and brave." According to the present aesthetic standards, Ji Wang is a "handsome man". And Ji Wang has always been aloof, look down on anyone. However, every time I see Wei Jie, he always sighs: "I feel ugly when Zhu Yu is around." This is how the idiom "shame" comes from.
Wei Jie's father-in-law Le Guang was a famous minister, official and leader in the Western Jin Dynasty. "This person's water mirror is bright, if you cover the clouds, you will see the sky." Therefore, people evaluate Yue Guang as a "clear ice". Wei Jie's skin is as white as jade, which makes people ask, "Whose bride is this?" At that time, people called Weng Xu and his wife: "Fu Ming, son-in-law Yu." The idiom "pure and smooth" also comes from this.
At the same time as Wei Jie, there was a beautiful man named Du Wa. When Wang Xizhi saw him, he called him "a man whose face is frozen and his eyes are like paint." But even Duwa, who is as beautiful as a fairy in Wang Xizhi's works, has been evaluated as several grades worse than Wei Jie. In the words of Xie Shang, a famous official at that time, Du Wa was "thick-skinned" and Wei Jie was "clear-headed". The same is "Qing", Du Wa only stays on the surface, while Wei Jie rises to "God".
In the romantic Wei and Jin Dynasties, the two most important criteria for becoming a famous official were "speaking freely" and "being handsome". In fact, these two standards can also be said to be one standard. Speaking freely is an elegant art, and people who are not beautiful are simply appetizing. Ji Kang, headed by the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest, is handsome, and there are a number of senior officials and ministers, such as Yanhe, Yu Liang, Zhouyi, Xie An, Xie Xuan, Xie Lingyun, Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and the aforementioned Wang Ji, all of whom are charming and full of temperament.
Therefore, if you want to step into the threshold of "speaking clearly", appearance is a key criterion. Otherwise, even a great talent like Zuo Taichong can only hide at home and suppress big moves. Only when a good hand is made can he dare to come out and see people. It took him ten years to write Sandu Fu before he became famous in Beijing.
Wei Jie is different. He was very successful as a teenager. At the age of five, he was praised by his grandfather Wei Guan, saying that he was absolutely a peerless wizard. Unfortunately, he didn't see the day when he became famous.
It can be said that Wei Jie's talent is better than his appearance. And its outstanding face value benefits more from its talent and highlights its spirit. Wei Jie has taken all the good things that combine talent and wisdom, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a match made in heaven.
If Wei Jie's appearance is "the stars hold the moon", then his talent can also shine in the bright time and space when the gods rise.
It is necessary to talk about the history of the Wei family first. Wei Jie's grandfather, Wei Guan, once served as a senior official in Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty, and paid homage to the "Three Fairs" with a prominent background. In addition, Wei's position in the history of China calligraphy is also very lofty. Wei Guan's father, Wei Ji, is a calligrapher. Wei Guan studied under Zhang Zhi and got Zhang Zhi's "strength". His son, Wei Heng, got Zhang Zhi's "bone".
People who study calligraphy may only know Wang Xizhi, but few people know Wei Guan and Wei Heng. But we all know that Wang Xizhi's teacher is Mrs. Wei, whose real name is Wei Shuo, and she is Wei Heng's cousin. Wei Jie is Wei Heng's son and Mrs. Wei is Wei Jie's aunt. Wei calligraphy school has far-reaching influence. During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wei's calligraphy style influenced the whole country.
Wei Jie grew up in such a "protoss". Although his calligraphy is not as good as that of his ancestors, he was buried because of his outstanding talent and appearance.
Wei Jie's talent first benefited from the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, because from his Disease in a Dream, we can know that he was influenced by Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly.
Wei Jie was appreciated and influenced by Le Guang from an early age, and later Le Guang became Wei Jie's father-in-law. One day, Wei Jie asked Le Guang, "Why do people dream?" Le Guang said it was because he had an idea. Wei Jie said: "Things that the body and mind have never touched will appear in dreams. Where is this thinking? " Le Guang said: "This is the future. People never dreamed of driving into a mouse hole or mashing ginger and garlic to feed the iron pestle, because there is no such idea and precedent to imitate. " Wei Jie thought about inheritance, but he couldn't get the answer all day, and finally he got sick. When Le Guang heard about it, he took a special bus to analyze the problem for him. Wei Jie's condition gradually improved, so Le Guang said with emotion: "This child will definitely not get an incurable disease in his heart!"
In this story, Yue Guang's explanation seems opaque, but at least we can see that young Wei Jie is already thinking about profound philosophical issues. Moreover, I learned from Yue Guang's "The Last Regret" that Wei Jie's inner world has been sublimated and her troubles have been eliminated. She has no heart disease and has a clear peace. Therefore, Sima Guang commented on Wei Jie, "It is often thought that people are not as good as themselves, they can forgive, they can be irrelevant, they can disagree, so they will never see the color of joy."
The so-called "speaking clearly" originated from the philosophy and metaphysics of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and then through the Jian 'an style and the beginning sound, it finally formed the romantic style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was passed down through the ages.
Wei Jie received a noble and decent legacy and had an unparalleled appearance. With his eloquence and good temper, he can often throw a big piece.
Wang Cheng (Ping Zi), a gifted scholar at that time, was very talented. He seldom admired anyone in his life, but when he heard Wei Jie talk about metaphysics, he was full of admiration. At that time, a famous saying was widely circulated: "Wei Jie is absolutely superior to Taoism." Wang Cheng, Wang Xuan and Wang Ji are all famous, but they are all under Wei Jie. The world says, "The third son of the Wangs is not as good as the first son of the Wei family".
Even the arrogant General Wang Dun was deeply impressed when he met Wei Jie in Nanchang. Wang Dun is famous for his bravery. Eloquence is not his strong point, so when he learned that Wei Jie came to Nanchang, he called Xie Kun, a famous minister, to pay tribute, so as not to be embarrassed by not saying a few words. As a result, something even more embarrassing happened. Wei Jie and Xie Kun hit it off and talked all day, completely ignoring Wang Dun. Nevertheless, Wang Dun said to Xie Kun with great emotion: "In the past, Wang Bi's speech in North Korea was like a golden voice. The man's speech on the river table was like a jade vibration, and the obscure speech was truncated to continue. Unexpectedly, in the last few years in Yongjia, I heard the voice of Zhengshi. If the peace is still there, he will definitely fall. "
Wang Bi, Yan He and "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" are the representatives of "Voice of Right Beginning". Compared with Wang, we can see his talent. No wonder after Wei Jie's death, Xie Kun cried and said, "The country has lost its pillar!"
Maybe God wants to show his fairness, so that Wei Jie, who is both talented and beautiful, will not live long. Or in order to complete this almost perfect "matchmaker", without any flaws, leaving all the beauty in the world, Wei Jie's brilliant life ended at the age of 27.
Or maybe a full stop is not enough to express the feeling of "watching and killing Wei Jun", and even an exclamation point is not enough to describe the shock. Because "this person should only exist in the sky", Wei Jie itself is a symbol, a perfect and irreplaceable symbol. In the vast history, in the gorgeous cultural time and space, he is like a delicate and beautiful work of art, which can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be used for fun.
