Wang Ji (?)? In the Western Han Dynasty (now Jimo District, Qingdao City), he lived in nanrenli, Du Township, Linyi County (now Xiaoyou village, baishabu Town, Lanshan District, Linyi City, Shandong Province). He moved to the doctor to advise the doctor. Young studious, to Xiaolian to teach ruolu County right Cheng, soon promoted to Yunyang County Magistrate. During the reign of emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Xianliang was appointed lieutenant of the king of Changyi.

Dare to speak out

Liu He, the king of Changyi, was greedy for wine and lust, liked hunting and didn't ask about political affairs, which led to the heavy labor and complaints of the common people. Wang Ji gave advice, but it was not adopted.

After the death of emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty, general Huo Guang was in power, and Liu he was elected emperor. Wang Ji once again advised Liu He to respect his ministers and be diligent in state affairs, but he was still rejected. Liu he was deposed for his promiscuity after only 27 days in office. When he was the king of Changyi, most of his officials were put to death or sent to prison. Only Wang Ji and the doctor ordered Gong to escape death because of repeated admonitions.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Wang Ji was appointed as a doctor to admonish the doctor. In view of the extravagant waste of money and cronyism of the royal family at that time, he advised Emperor Xuan to select the virtuous and appoint the capable, abolish the shadow system, advocate frugality and cherish financial resources, so as to rectify the official administration, honest and honest folk customs, and make the country prosperous. He was the earliest advocate of late marriage in China. In this chapter of political affairs of Emperor Xuan of the upper Han Dynasty, Liu Shenyan wrote: "husband and wife, the outline of human relations, the sprouting of premature life. It's too early to marry in the secular world. If you don't know how to be a parent and have a son, you will die because you don't know how to educate people. " Wang Ji advocates that the purpose of late marriage is to achieve "no abortion" and "Enlightenment", which means "eugenics".

be an incorrupt official

Wang Ji is a clean and honest official. When he lived in Chang'an, the branches and leaves of his neighbor's jujube tree stretched into his courtyard, and Wang Ji's wife picked a few jujubes at random for him to eat. Later, Wang Ji learned that the dates were stolen from his neighbor's house, so he drove his wife away. When the neighbor heard about it, he insisted on cutting down the jujube tree. After repeated persuasion, Wang Ji called his wife back. So it was popular at that time“

There are trees in the master's house. Wang Yang's wife will go. When the master's date is finished, she will return it

”It's a wonderful story. When Wang Ji left office and returned home, he only brought his own clothes with him and had no savings. After returning home, food and clothing are just like common people.

Idiom story

Wang Ji and Gong Yu had similar feelings and deep contacts, so later there was the idiom "Wang Yang was in power, Gong Gong played the crown". After emperor Hanyuan ascended the throne, he called Wang Ji and Gong Yu to be officials of the imperial court. Wang Ji died on the way to Chang'an.

Wang Ji once learned from Cai Yi, a scholar of Han poetry, and started Wang's study of Han poetry. He was able to learn from the spring and Autumn Annals of Ji family and was good at Liang Qiu's book of changes. According to Mr. David's opinion, his research on the Analects of Confucius has the characteristics of Qi Lun and Lu Lun. The Han Dynasty book says that he "knows five classics at the same time", so he can be regarded as a famous Confucian scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.
