However, Emperor Guangwu did not give up and still invited him to Luoyang. Although he was placed in a magnificent mansion with a deep courtyard, he refused to associate with court dignitaries. Guangwudi went to visit him, but he couldn't do the ceremony. Emperor Guangwu could do nothing about him, saying that he was a "crazy slave".
One day, Emperor Guangwu invited him to the palace, had a heart-to-heart talk and asked him how to govern the country. Yan Ziling is eloquent. Guangwudi was very happy to hear his theory about ancient and modern times and his reasoning was incisive. The two talked until late at night, and Emperor Guangwu left him to sleep in the same bed. Yan Ziling didn't refuse, lying on the imperial bed, spread his legs and fell asleep. Sleeping until midnight, I gave the emperor a leg. Guangwudi didn't sleep well all night in order not to disturb him.
The next morning, when Yan Ziling was still sleeping, Emperor Guangwu got up. I saw eunuch Qin Tian rushing into the palace gate in a panic and saying, "I looked up at the astronomical phenomena last night and found a guest star attacking the throne. I'm afraid it's not good for viva. I am here to report. "
Emperor Guangwu pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, and laughed: "What guest star? Last night, my friend Zi Ling and I slept in the same bed, and his legs were on me. "
Since then, Yan Ziling, a "guest star", has become famous all over the world. Chen Shan, the mountain in his hometown is called "Kexing Mountain" and the bridge is called "Kexing Bridge". Today, the inscription of Yan Ziling in Yuyao Sibeiting still contains the sentence "The guest star on the city wall is still high".
Guangwudi appreciated Yan Ziling's character and talent and asked him to be a remonstrator. This is a high position, but he still refuses to accept it. Later, I simply left without saying goodbye and went back to my hometown Yuyao to live in seclusion.
In the seventeenth year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu sent messengers to Yuyao and invited Yan Ziling to be an official in Beijing. When he heard the news, he quickly hid and the messenger had to return. In order to avoid any trouble in the imperial court, he simply took his family and moved to the Fuchun River in Tonglu to farm and fish. The place where he fished was later called Zi Ling Beach. "Yan Ziling Diaoyutai" has been preserved to this day. Yan Ziling returned to Yuyao until he died at the age of eighty and was buried in Chen Shan, Yuyao. Shi Haoyou, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Mr. Yan's Tomb": "The jade box dragon has come to the grass, and a tall horse is still proud; If Yuntai is also famous, who knows that there are fishing platforms throughout the ages. " Chen Shi's poem "Yan Tomb" also wrote: "The mountain is high and the stone is strange and cold, and the three-foot solitary tomb is a guest star; Think of Lingyuan pine and cypress, and know who misty rain is. "
Yan Ziling's honesty, regarding wealth as floating clouds, has been respected by people for thousands of years. Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, admired Gao Jie of Yan Ziling and built a ancestral temple for him, and wrote the immortal Monument to Mr. Yan, praising him for his "green mountains, boundless rivers and seas, and long mountains and high waters." Xu Wei, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Mr. Yan's Ci": "Clear water reflects the place, and high traces can be found. I don't know that the son of heaven is expensive, but I know my heart. Mountain fog scattered Chun Xue, river wind scattered dusk forest. If you hear running water, who will listen to Boya's piano? "
"Guangling San" (note) has been lost today! "
"An Neng Bai Chen?"
-Qu Yuan's Fisherman
For hundreds of years, people have described the Wei and Jin demeanor of the seven sages of bamboo forest over and over again, praising their invasion of Wuhu, the infighting between Cao Wei Group and Sima family, and even their unique independence and elegance in the turbulent society of economic depression and boiling public grievances. However, people also lament a person over and over again to show their feelings and express their grief.
Thanks to Ji Kang, Guangling San has been immortal. Thanks to Guangling San, Ji Kang was able to sing the last elegy of his life!
Listening to Guangling San, there is a feeling of understanding life in the sound of the killing and conquest of Jin Ge Tiema, noisy and lonely, depressed and sad. But did people ever know where this song Guangling San, as a lasting legacy, sounded? !
Shi Shuo Xin Yu Liang Ya wrote:
The city sentenced me to the east city, and my attitude remained unchanged. Suoqin plays it. Play Guangling. At the end of the song, he said: "Yuan Xiaoni tried to learn this kind of sketch, but I don't agree with Jingu. Guangling sketch is absolutely out of date!"
Sad is sad, strong is strong! "The song of Guangling is dead, and the three-foot lyre is no longer played." !
I saw it. ...
Bitter wind and biting rain.
There are only a few feet and phantom of the opera on the guillotine, which looks grim and ferocious.
Ji Kang is walking towards his beloved guqin and putting it on the stage.
The horns and feathers of the palace merchants are arranged neatly. At this moment, the strings seem to be filled with some melancholy temperament, solemn as an enemy.
It never occurred to me that it became a yardstick to measure the dominance between everything and silence, past and future; A yardstick to measure the truth of human heart and life!
It never thought that the moment when the piano stopped, it was the time when the master passed away calmly.
The clank of the piano rhyme, accompanied by the dim sky of the piano, suddenly sounded. Very encouraging, very embarrassing. At that moment, I clearly saw that he was forgetful, poetic and intoxicated as if between mountains and rivers. The four piano pieces composed by Qin Jia (Ji Kang) are called "Ji's Four Pavilions", together with Cai Yong's "Cai's Five Pavilions", which are a famous group of piano pieces in ancient China. I have devoted my life to the interpretation of music, and the high-pitched singing of music has fully explained its due height for this desperate life!
"The Sri Lankan has passed away, the Yellow Crane Tower is free, white clouds are flying, and there will never be him." Before the executioner's knife fell, with this lingering aftertaste, Ji Kang's soul had already fled, broke through the hubbub, whirled in the pure blue sky, and returned life to the original vault. Guangling San has thus become Ji Kang's Requiem and the voice of life.
The unique voice also rings at the end of life and gives it to eternal death. Perhaps, this is a kind of sacrifice and ridicule to death, and perhaps it is also a kind of death-oriented rejection, so that "negative life" and "positive death" completely lose contact.
Alas, all tragic resistance stems from this "shame and charm win glory." Nature! It's been a long time. Why don't you come? What is the plan between the numbers? "Beyond. (According to Tai Ping Guang Ji, 3 17 quoted from Gui Ling Zhi)
Out of keeping watch on his own personality and clinging to his ideal, Ji Kang "preferred the straightness to the pleasure" in the ghostly "troubled times", and he would not compromise with the ruling group until his death, which eventually led to disaster; Ji Kang is brilliant, elegant and aloof, but he also has the strong feeling of "joining the WTO" as a scholar, "invigorating the platform and revitalizing the people". Unfortunately, in the end, a singer with broken strings and broken songs sang a song, which made many literati more or less disappointed and regretful. This alienation and contradiction between his own destiny and real politics, as well as this anti-mainstream individual personality in his bones, are bound to be extremely destructive, which also determines his tragic fate of not becoming the mainstream and being eliminated.
"The hero's helplessness is sentimental" is also "the hero's ending is the ending".
Ji Kang, a "Don Quixote" romantic salvation hero, "committed himself to the Lord and died as a national mourning." The spirit of the scholar-bureaucrat lasts forever, and the enterprise serves the country with its unique skills, but sadly, he is faced with another desolate road to heroism? !
Sigh is only sigh. In China's long history and politics, there are few precedents in this respect? It is nothing more than "there is no hero in the world, so the vertical son is famous!"
History also recorded such a story about him:
It's a pity that the Taoist priest didn't say anything to Ji Kang when he asked him in Taihang Mountain. Ji Kang was very disappointed. He went down from the top of Taihang Mountain that day. At dusk, the trees on the mountain are bathed in the sunset glow. The tired bird came home from a distance after a day's work ... Ji Kang couldn't help it any longer, but his voice was quickly drowned out. Suddenly, he heard a long whistle coming from a distance, like the voice of nature. The sound passes through mountains, streams and jungles, coming from a distance and from Taoist priests. It was at this time that Ji Kang's heart changed and he realized the meaning of life itself. That's the answer given to him by the Taoist priest.
Knowing life and death should not cause lotus to kill. But the fireworks and feelings in the world are so charming and persistent to him. What he didn't understand when he studied Laozi and Zhuangzi all his life was that "if there is a way in heaven, he will be an official;" If there is no way, it will be hidden. " The truth of Confucianism must be that Guangling San has been absolutely lost today! "lament and the end of the bloody guillotine. ...
Yes, "Four hundred and eighty halls in the southern dynasties, with many towers and misty rain." How can people see the complicated history clearly? Life and death can be achieved, but history is not like this. ...
I can't see through this strange history and I don't want to see through it. But I saw a life proposition that Ji Kang and Guangling San's story showed me-
There is a value,
Destroy the value of value.
It reveals that the existence of life is not the premise of completely evaluating everything!
Ha ha! "Phoenix, Phoenix, the past cannot be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased!" ("Chuci Madness").
The soul is back! Ji Kang never dies, and Guangling sings!
Note: 1, Guangling San, Guqin music, also known as Guangling Stop. There are two sources. First of all, according to the records in the Warring States Policy and Historical Records, North Korean Minister Yan Zhongzi had a feud with Prime Minister Xia Lei, while Nie Zheng made friends with Yan Zhongzi. He assassinated Han Xiang for Yan Zhongzi, which showed a feeling that "a scholar knows he will die". Secondly, in "Cao Qin" written by Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was said that Nie Zheng was a Korean in the Warring States Period, and his father was killed by the Korean king for casting a sword. Nie Zheng failed to avenge his father's assassination, but he was disfigured and went to the mountains to learn the piano 10 for many years. When I returned to Korea with my stunt, I didn't know anyone. So, while looking for an opportunity to enter the palace to play the piano for the South Korean king, he drew a dagger from the belly of the piano and stabbed the South Korean king to death. Of course, he himself died heroically. (This kind of cognition is widely adopted now. )
The total score of Guangling San is forty-five, which is divided into six parts: finger, minor order, major order, orthography, disorder and postorder. Zheng Zheng used to sympathize with Nie Zheng's unfortunate fate; After the affirmative voice, it expressed the praise and praise for Nie Zheng's heroic deeds. Positive voice is the main part of music, which shows the emotional development process of Nie Zheng from resentment to indignation, and profoundly depicts his revenge will of not fearing violence and preferring death to surrender. The whole song always runs through the interweaving, ups and downs, development and changes of the two theme tones. One is the theme of Zhengyin found in the second paragraph of Zhengyin; The other is the disordered theme that first appears at the end of the grand sequence: the orthodox theme is mostly at the beginning of the paragraph, highlighting its leading role. Chaotic themes are mostly used at the end of paragraphs, which makes all kinds of changing tunes come down to the same tone, which has the function of marking paragraphs and unifying the whole song. The melody of Guangling San is passionate and generous. It is the only existing Guqin music in China with a fighting atmosphere with Mao Ge, which directly expresses the fighting spirit of the oppressed against the tyrant and has high ideological and artistic quality.
2. "The so-called worship of virtue in Wei and Jin Dynasties was for personal gain. This worship is only accidental. For example, Cao Cao killed Kong Rong and Sima Yi killed Ji Kang, all because it was related to unfilial. (Note: Lu Bin, his confidant, raped his brother Lu An's wife and falsely accused Lu An of being unfilial. Ji Kang defended Lu An, so Zhong Hui took the opportunity to encourage Chair Zhao to kill him in the name of unfilial. However, Cao Cao and Sima Yi are indeed famous dutiful sons, but they just blame this name on those who are against themselves. " (Lu Xun, Wei Jin demeanor and articles and the relationship between medicine and wine)
Second, "paste self-fried, more harmful (note)"
"The blue water is clear, you can lick my tassel; The water in the rough waves is turbid, so you can lick my feet. "
-Qu Yuan's Fisherman
Among the seven sages of bamboo forest, the only one who can be compared with Ji Kang is Ruan Ji, who is known as the "Great Sage Living in the World" (Preface to Ruan Sizong's Poems by Jin Yuzhong) and "Hundreds of generations of fragrant flowers attract all sages" (Jing Li rebuilt the monument of Ruan Sizong's Temple).
The mention of Ruan Ji naturally reminds me of wine.
Nietzsche, a tragic philosopher, said: "Artists should not look at things as they are, but should look happier, simpler and stronger. To this end, they must have a vitality and spring in their own lives, and have a permanent sense of wine. " (The Birth of Tragedy)
The biography of Ruan Ji in the Book of Jin has a vivid explanation:
This book has the ambition to help the world. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many reasons in the world, and few celebrities owned everyone. The reason is that it has nothing to do with current events, so drinking is common. When Wendi wanted to propose to Liang Wudi, he was drunk for 60 days and couldn't stop. The clock will ask you about current events, and if you want to be guilty of it, you can get away with being drunk!
Perhaps because of the wine, is Dionysus's madness a true portrayal of Ruan Ji? Maybe just like Dionysus, will Ruan Ji's drunkenness have another meaning of his craziest?
Different from Ji Kang's affirmation, there are many opinions about the history of Ruan Ji.
There are two "crimes" that historians hate most about Ruan Ji: first, Ruan Ji wrote a note for Zheng Chong to persuade Wang Jin to surrender; Second, he was named Hou because he abolished the policy, and later he was ordered to be a spy (for policy spies, see "Returning to the Home for Public Discipline"). Ye Mengde said: "(Ruan Ji) should write a" Persuasion Form "for officials. Ji Kang should be killed with a stick if he has a heart. "
History always draws conclusions with the mainstream attitude and never asks the source!
Huang Kan told me in the preface to Huai Shi:
Ruan Gong knows Hyunri very well, and his works are full of emotion and admiration, so they are all-encompassing. Trace its poor road, drunk for ten days, Gai has been waiting for the south to face the sky, the mirror is as well as a mirror, and the great sorrow is in his arms, which is beyond the constant words, so he wrote it in poetry.
Ruan Ji is the most complicated person among the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", and his mental state is also the most subtle. He didn't die suddenly like Ji Kang's character "Jun Qi", and he didn't take refuge in Sima's house like Dan Tao, Wang Rong and Xiang Xiu, and became a big official. He doesn't hide or be an official, but he is also an official, but he doesn't really do it but perfunctory. Being cautious and self-defeating, compared with being scattered in the middle, can be described as "the whole body is far from disaster."
This is covering up history!
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was the time when the metaphysics of Confucianism, Taoism and Laozi and Zhuangzi could not compete with each other. Most of the seven sages in the bamboo forest believed in metaphysics. Ren said in the History of China's Philosophy: "They aim at the highest noumenon of the universe, and hope that self and noumenon can be integrated into one, so as to get a certain realm, settle down and fight against the reality of suffering. The noumenon they pursue is nature. " This is also advocated by Ji Kang. "The more famous, the more natural." Said. Ideologically, they are undoubtedly marginalized and alien. Therefore, it is the only way for them to express their personal feelings by not being satisfied with their talents, indulging in mountains and rivers and enjoying what is in the cup. "I hate low altitude, and Dapeng can't fly high." It goes without saying, what kind of sad mood is this? In fact, Ruan Ji was not alone in the Han and Wei Dynasties. front
