A good horse is idle, and a beautiful suit is shining.
On the left, I took over Fan Wei, but on the right, I forgot to return.
The wind flies by and the lightning flies away, chasing the scenery quietly.
The fierce Central Plains are full of hope.

Ji Kang, whose courtesy name is Shuye, whose surname is Xi, is from Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). His ancestors moved to Qiaoguo Nei County (southwest of today's Suxian County, Anhui Province) to avoid a feud, and changed their surname to Ji. ("Ji" is built to commemorate the ancestral home "Ji"). The leader of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove". A famous poet and musician in the late Wei Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, he was one of the representatives of metaphysicians at that time. He was an upright person. He lost his father when he was young, and he was inspiring and diligent in learning. Later, he married the owner of Changle Pavilion (one theory is that she is the granddaughter of Cao Cao, the daughter of Cao Lin; another theory is that she is the great-granddaughter of Cao Cao, the granddaughter of Cao Lin). When the Cao family was in power, she held the official position of Zhongsan Dafu. Sima Zhao once wanted to win over Ji Kang, but Ji Kang leaned towards the royal family in the political dispute at that time and adopted an uncooperative attitude towards the Sima family, so he was quite jealous. Sima Zhao's confidant Zhong Hui wanted to make friends with Ji Kang, but was treated coldly, and the feud started. Ji Kang's friend Lu An was falsely accused of being unfilial by his brother. Ji Kang came forward to defend Lu An. Zhong Hui immediately persuaded Sima Zhao to take the opportunity to get rid of Lu and Ji. At that time, 3,000 Tai students requested Ji Kang's pardon and made him their teacher, but Sima Zhao refused. Before execution, Ji Kang looked calm. Play the song "Guangling San" and die calmly.
Later, Ji Kang's family was poor, so he and Xiang Xiu often forged iron under the shade of trees, not to make a living, but to follow their own wishes. Your noble son Zhong Hui was a good judge of talent. One day, Zhong Hui came to visit and brought a large number of officials. Ji Kang was disgusted when he saw this scene and ignored him. He just lowered his head to work. Zhong Hui stayed for a long time, feeling dissatisfied. At this time, Ji Kang spoke: "Why did you come here after what you heard? Why did you leave after what you saw?" Zhong Hui immediately replied: "Come here after hearing what you heard, and leave after seeing what you saw." After speaking, he walked away. , Later Zhong Hui hated Ji Kang deeply and often spoke ill of him in front of Sima Zhao.
According to Liu Ji's "Qin Yi": Ji Kang learned "Guangling San" from Du Kui's son Du Meng. Ji Kang loved this piece of music very much and played it often, which attracted many people to ask for advice, but Ji Kang would not teach it. After Sima came to power, he refused to comply with his rule. He and Ruan Ji, Xiang Xiu, Shan Tao, Liu Ling, Ruan Xian and Wang Rong, known as the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", opposed Sima and were later killed by Sima. Fang Si died at the time of his death. Ten years old. Before his execution, three thousand imperial students interceded for him, but they were not allowed to do so. Before his death, he played this piece on his piano and sighed with emotion: "Guangling San" is now extinct. A molded portrait brick of Ji Kang was unearthed from the Southern Dynasties Tomb in Xishanqiao, Nanjing, depicting a majestic image of Ji Kang sitting on a banquet and playing the harp.
Ji Kang loved music. He said in the preface to "Qin Fu": "I have a good voice, and I have been accustomed to it for a long time. I think that things have their ups and downs but this does not change. The taste is boring, but I am not tired of it. ." He is very familiar with both traditional and contemporary Qin music, which can be seen in his "Qin Fu". Ji Kang composed "Wind into the Pine" and four other qin pieces, "Changqing", "Duanqing", "Longside" and "Shortside", which are known as "Ji's Four Nongs". Cai's Five Nongs, collectively known as the Ninth Nongs, are a group of famous qin music in ancient my country. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once made playing "Nine Nongs" one of the conditions for recruiting scholars, which shows its great influence and high achievements.
In addition to being famous for playing "Guangling San", Ji Kang also made unique contributions to music theory, which are his "Qin Fu" and "Soundless Sad Music Theory". "Qin Fu" mainly expresses Ji Kang's understanding of Qin and music, and also reflects Ji Kang's views that are inconsistent with traditional Confucian thought. "On Soundless Sadness and Music" is the author's direct and concentrated criticism of the Confucian thought of "music governing the world". Ji Kang's true knowledge of music shines in it.
Wang Rong has been dating Ji Kang for twenty years, and he has never had a bad look on his face.
Therefore, he has the reputation of "distant in taste and open-minded in mind"; however, Ji Kang is also "strong-hearted, ill-willed, outspoken, and prone to anger when trouble arises." His love for "Guangling San" is a manifestation of his cynical, arrogant and rebellious character, and his contempt for Sima Zhao, which led to his death, is a clear example of this uprightness.
Ji Kang is also good at calligraphy and specializes in cursive script. He was also good at painting. In the Tang Dynasty, there were "Ears Washing in a Nest" and "Lion Attacking an Elephant" which were popular in the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, they are all lost now.
