Pan An is arguably the most beautiful man in the world. "Looks like Pan An" has always been used as a special word to praise the beauty of men. After all, the words used in ancient Chinese are extremely concise, so there are only three words to describe Pan An's face: "Beautiful posture". When Pan An was young, he took a slingshot to play outside Luoyang. At that time, it was a fashion for men to hold slingshots. On the way, the beautiful women not only looked around him enough, but also rushed to throw fruit at him, which was called "throwing fruit to earn money". What makes people admire about Pan An is his single-mindedness to his wife. After her death, he wrote three mourning poems, which were of pioneering significance in literature. Because the status of women in ancient times was very low, there was no memory of their dead wives before these three poems by Pan An. At the same time, Pan An's literary status has been very high. He is as famous as another great writer, with Shandong cuisine as the sea and Pan cuisine as the river. Therefore, these three poems are sincere and tearful, and they are the earliest masterpieces of this kind in China. Pan An is good at writing sad poems and likes to write mourning articles. It seems that he should be a more introverted person. On the surface, he doesn't get much sunshine. According to modern words, he should belong to this type of cool man.
The Book of Jin is called "Pearl" and "Yurun". It is a handsome man with beautiful scenery and "flower-like beauty and powder-like gentleness". When he was shopping on a sheep cart, he looked like a white jade statue from a distance and was called "the wall man". When I came to Jianye, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the residents were moved by the wind, and the audience was like a wall. The people watching him are surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. After several days of onlookers, this sickly beautiful boy finally couldn't stand it, fell ill and died of a disease. Shi Shuo Xin Yu says it is "watching and killing Wei Jue". This tragedy caused by beauty is really amazing. Poor handsome Wei is so "fragrant and dead". Wei Jie used to wash horses for the prince. He is very good at Hyunri. "Wei Jun said that Ping Zi is absolutely excellent." This is a famous saying that Wei Jin people commented on Wei Jie's good words and good sense. Has been passed down to this day. In the development of metaphysics in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Wei Jie was a key figure who followed "the voice of truth" and inspired "the voice of expression".
Ji Kang, the leader of "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", is a famous handsome writer who is proficient in literature, metaphysics and music. He is handsome and natural, and is known as "Dragon Zhang Fengzi, the nature in nature". On one occasion, he went to the forest to collect herbs, but was mistaken by the woodcutter for "heaven and earth." Many years after his death, his son Ji Shao just arrived in Luoyang, the capital. When someone saw him, he came back and said to Wang Rong, "I saw Ji Shao for the first time in Houmin yesterday. He was as proud as a wild crane in a flock of chickens." Wang Rong replied, "Jun Fu has never seen his father's ear." From this, we can infer Ji Kang's elegant demeanor.
Han Zigao, a native of Liang Dynasty, is said to be "beautiful, slim and white, like a beauty". A cicada's head is plastered. Naturally, you can't tell when you see it. "The soldiers in the disorderly army killed people like wolves and rushed at him with a knife, just for the sake of being soft-hearted and abandoning the blade. According to the historical records, "The mutinous soldiers waved white blades, which made them unbearable and even drew a lot." Therefore, the Southern Emperor Chen Wendi had planned to make him a male queen, but it didn't come true. Han Zigao is also good at riding and shooting. I have been a general of the right army, a general, and have repeatedly made meritorious military service.
Gao Changgong, a soldier in Lanling, was a famous soldier in Northern Qi Dynasty. He was both civil and military, intelligent and brave. The book of the Northern Qi Dynasty said that he was "soft on the outside and firm on the inside, full of sound and affection". He is the grandson of Gao Huan, the ancestor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and also a prince, who is famous for his bravery and good fighting skills. But his image may be too beautiful, so he always "covers his face with armor" on the battlefield, that is, he puts on a hideous mask and rushes in with a powerful and invincible image. At that time, there was a musical on the stage to praise the merits and virtues of the warrior Lan Ling. The actor imitated the warrior Lan Ling and wore a mask. In the Tang Dynasty, the actors changed their masks and sketched their faces directly, which is the origin of China's dramatic faces.
Wang Xianzhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is as famous as his father, Wang Xizhi, and is also called "Two Kings". Wang Xianzhi's "romantic charm is the crown of the moment". At that time, the most beautiful man in the world admired Jian Wendi's daughter Sima Daofu for a long time. After the divorce, she insisted that Emperor Xiaowu marry her to Wang Xianzhi. The emperor ordered Wang Xianzhi to get rid of his original wife, Xi, and then marry Princess Xin 'an. Wang Xianzhi can't stand marrying his wife. She set herself on fire for refusing to get married. She suffered from foot disease all the year round for the rest of her life, so that she wrote letters complaining that her feet hurt, my feet hurt, my feet hurt! ! Even so, it still doesn't help, Wang Xianzhi can barely take a rest. Later, when Wang Xianzhi was seriously ill, the Taoist priest held a disaster relief ceremony for him, so that patients could tell their crimes. The Taoist asked, "What are the similarities and differences in origin?" Wang Xianzhi replied: "I don't think I have more things to do. I just remember divorcing my family." In other words, I don't feel guilty about anything else, but I always think of divorcing the Xi family.
Of course, there were many beautiful men in those days. For example, someone visited Yan at the Wangs' home, met with Wang Dun and Wang Dao, and met Wang Xu and Wang Cheng in another room. When he came out, he said to people, "Today, Taiweifu and his party are all beautiful, beautiful." "Jade Man" was the highest praise for handsome men at that time, and that's how the idiom came from. There are Mu Rongchong, a knight with fine print "Phoenix", the Emperor of Yan State with both talents and looks, the first in Jiangzuo, Peikai in Qinghe Cui Shi, and Duguxin in Guanlong. , are famous for their beauty, and limited to space.
For those who advocate reunification, the situation of division at that time seemed inadequate. However, in this era of great division, various contradictions are intertwined and people's thoughts have changed greatly. On this basis, his creative achievements in culture, science and technology, art and philosophy are outstanding, which is enough to make the dark historical period of the separation of the three countries, the separation of the five lakes and sixteen countries and the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties shine brightly. In this context, celebrities in Wei and Jin dynasties like to talk about metaphysics, pay attention to philosophy in speech, pay attention to emotional appeal in choosing friends, pay attention to literary talent in composition, admire artistic conception in writing poetry, and pursue charm in calligraphy. Most celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties put their spirits on mountains and rivers, fused their aspirations into articles and knowledge, and put forward brand-new opinions in many cognitive fields. At that time, people's spiritual fashion and aesthetic pursuit were full of spirituality and stood out in the long river of history.
Due to the turbulent situation and the dark and chaotic society, those gentry and celebrities have despaired of their official career, heroes have passed away, villains are in power, and the voice of grief and indignation of "when there is no hero, the upright man becomes famous" has spread throughout the land of Wei and Jin Dynasties. "On the occasion of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many reasons in the world, and few celebrities had many people." As a result, the constraints of social ethics were abandoned and Confucianism was shelved. The popular view is: "Is the ceremony for our generation?" "It is better to have a glass of wine right away than to make me famous", "Beauty is more important than Bede". They pursue unlimited liberalization in spirit and extreme freedom in behavior. From high officials to scholars, the whole dynasty was permeated with the pursuit of a happy life, and eating, drinking and dancing in time became a common social emotion. The character of Wei and Jin dynasties lies in being detached from things, pursuing the free liberation of spirit and action, and obtaining aesthetic feeling and satisfaction in free liberation. For women, it was also a rare era of freedom and liberation. Ge Hong said in Bao Puzi that women in Wei and Jin Dynasties, like men, visited relatives and friends, made friends everywhere and walked in the market with torches at night. Go home at midnight, stay out at night, visit Buddhist temples, or watch fishing and hunting. Climb the mountain near the water and travel away from home. Bolder woman, drinking by the roadside, singing and dancing, not shy.
Some people blamed the handsome men at that time on the fashion of eating samurai three, but it was not. In that era when people sought to be free and easy, cold and profound, and return to nature, the popularity of Laozi and Zhuangzi's thought and Buddhism made them get rid of realistic disputes and return to nature and self. This requires people to get rid of man-made, advocate returning to nature and stick to their simple nature. In their view, what conforms to nature is beauty, and nature is beauty. Therefore, they are not bound by the secular, not tired of foreign things, indulge in idleness, act spontaneously, be independent of the world, and be informal. These are the life atmosphere in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and there are so many arrogant people. Drinking, whistling, naked, blue eyes, rendered the splendor of that turbulent and bloody era.
In fact, there are men with both talents and looks in any dynasty, and the people in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are the most spontaneous, the least introverted and the most distinctive. At that time, aesthetics prevailed over ethics. They found the freedom beauty of the soul inward, the natural beauty of mountains and rivers outward, pursued the freedom and publicity of human nature, and created an artistic conception full of spiritual beauty, which is unique in the ancient history of China. Therefore, those beautiful men are handsome and personable. Some of them are "the rock is as lonely as a pine", some are "the Emei Mountain is backward", some are in the next month, some are high in the morning, some are high in the spring, and some are outstanding in the wild. All these are recorded in the history books and handed down, when you read it today. After that era, it is hard to see such unrestrained spirituality, but without such spirituality, no matter how beautiful a man is, he is as dull and lifeless as the star portrait on the wall.
