They have good-looking skin and interesting souls, and they live a boring life with great vigor and vitality in the absurdity of the world. They are pressed to the ground by fate and rubbed repeatedly, but they will bloom proudly from the dust. They are politicians, philosophers, writers, and poets who are beautiful in appearance, noble in spirit, and strong in conduct. They have left the altar of moral models and become individuals who are worthy of respect and admiration but cannot be copied. Wilde said: "We are all in the gutter, but there are still people who look up to the starry sky." And these boiling souls of Wei and Jin are also the starry sky that we can look up to now.
Because this author's "Chang'an Ke" came (that book is beautiful!) Let me borrow from the evaluation of this book that I read before: it is more like a literary novel than a historical biography. But it did open a window of history for me, allowing me to glimpse the tip of the iceberg in the character of famous officials in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Their pride is ingrained in their bones and etched into history books, where it will never fade. In the turbulent and chaotic era, in the abyss, because of them, the abyss also shines with light. They are not people who look up at the stars. They are the stars themselves.
We are all in the ditch, but there are still people looking up at the stars
They have always liked living in the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Faced with external or internal dilemmas, they made different choices because of different value pursuits, which made their images vivid on the page. I have read "A Guest from Chang'an" written by the same author. The prosperous age of singing and dancing has become the spiritual home of many people. In that book, it depicts the talents and celebrities of the Tang Dynasty rolling along with the turbulent waves of fate. What is different from this book is that the chaotic era in which the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties lived made them not only fight against fate, but also against themselves. In later generations, especially the celebrities headed by the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove will always be criticized. They wanted to be born but did not fully born and were criticized and compared (perhaps being criticized is more appropriate). Unless we are trapped in the same situation as them, we will never be able to empathize with them.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties were the most turbulent era in history, but they were also the freest era in spirit. At that time, the brilliance of ideas illuminated the night sky of history. Everyone had their own ideas. Of course, their choices were also different, but I think we should not be too harsh on them.
It gave me a better understanding of the celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. In that chaotic era, they did not live as freely and freely as described in many books.
Coming from "A Guest from Chang'an", the author's writing is still beautiful and fluent, and the psychological description speculation gives life to historical figures. It is unforgettable that Liu Zhen's "pines on Tingting Mountain, and a stroke in the Sesu Valley" are unforgettable, and that Cao Pi imitated the braying of a donkey to sacrifice his friends. It is unforgettable. Xia Houxuan, who is "as bright as the sun and the moon in his arms", will never forget the friendship between Shan Tao and Ji Kang, and Xie An will never forget his calmness and calmness... Although they are more or less imperfect, the romance of the Wei and Jin Dynasties is unique in Chinese history.
This book gave me a deeper understanding of the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Their stories are so interesting! I especially hate those hypocritical politicians, but I admire the true nature of these celebrities. The author Bei Mingyu's words are very vivid, making me feel like I can see those characters who shine in the long river of history. This book helped me find a peaceful starry sky in my busy life. I recommend it to you!
I have read "Chang'an Ke" (that book is very good) and this book is also very good
Language has a unique flavor
I can't get enough [shy], I really want the author to publish another similar book
