Profile

Zhuang Ji is a writer of the Western Han Dynasty. Due to avoid Han Ming emperor Liu Zhuang taboo, also known as strict taboo. Wu was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. He was once a guest of King Xiaowang of Liang Dynasty, and his main activities were in the Western Han Dynasty. At the same time as Mei Cheng and Sima Xiangru. During the reign of emperor Jing, "Liang Xiaowang came to the court from the lobbyists Zou Yang of Qi, Mei Cheng of Huaiyin, and Wu Yanji, who were disciples of the master. They were as happy as they could see each other" (Biography of Sima Xiangru in the book of Han Dynasty). Yan Ji put forward the philosophy of life, that is, to retreat from poverty, to get rid of tiredness and to return to truth. It is believed that real life is dark and worthless. The first is the feeling that life is out of time, that the past can not be relied on, and that the coming can not hope; the second is the feeling that there is no way to go: the road is blocked, the river is broad and without beams, and the path can not be crossed, and there are no wings to fly high, relatives and friends are withered, food is starved, cars and horses are trapped, and it is difficult to walk an inch; the third is the feeling that the world is dangerous, that the party is cutting the differences, that the sages are jealous of their ability, and that they can not exert any intelligence Wisdom. He said: "the bustle of dust and grime can eliminate filth and tiredness and return to the true form. The body is white but of good quality. The body is bright and clear. I am tired of the time and don't use it, and I am hidden and far away. I'm talking and disappearing. I'm silent and silent. How can I feel angry and relieved? When I am warm, I will stop. Then he sighed and did not know (ditto) in addition to tired back to true, invisible, silent nameless. His works include "mourning the fate of the time", which is included in "songs of Chu" and compiled in Volume 19 of "Quan Han Wen".

Representative works

There are 24 Fu records in Hanshu Yiwenzhi, and only "Ai Shi Ming" remains today.

Literary contribution

Zhuang Ji, a native of Wu County, was born and died at an unknown time, about the same time as Mei Cheng. He was once a guest of Liu Bi, king of Wu, and Liu Wu, king of filial piety of Liang. There are 24 Fu recorded in Hanshu Yiwenzhi, but most of them do not exist. Only one of them is Ai Shi Ming collected in Chuci.

According to Wang Yi's Chu Ci Zhang Ju, "Ai Shi Ming" means that (Zhuang) did not mourn Qu Yuan's loyalty, but met the dark world instead of the Ming emperor. He wrote a brilliant speech, sighed and described it, so it is called "Ai Shi Ming". This view is not exact. As a matter of fact, the time is the present day. I'm not as good as the ancients when I'm sad. I don't know how to live when I'm not happy! This is himself, not Qu Yuan. This article quotes from the ancient sage Gao fengliangjie that Zixu died and became Yixi, Qu Yuan sank in Miluo. Although it remains the same, it can be seen clearly in the book. Therefore, Zhuang Ji's work is to mourn for himself, though his heart is pounding and his heart is straight, and he is walking on the rope but not quite. Hold on to weighing and selfless, weigh the weight but not the difference The body is white and of good quality, bright and clear. However, he was born at a wrong time. He was a vagrant and had been immersed in his subordinates, but he was sent to the aristocratic fence to be a clean guest. He had no way to show his intelligence. As a result, he was caught and wasted his time in vain. Therefore, he did not distinguish the beauty from the ugliness, the virtuous from the stupid, Zhang Yu mixed with Zheng Yu Xi, long Lian and Meng Yu in the same palace, Shi Guan and Yan Er Ren Zang Huo Xi, how to weigh the power! He is deeply dissatisfied with his abnormal, unhealthy and unreasonable reality, so he feels regret and hate but does not show off. He expresses his true feelings and belongs to poetry. It strongly and sincerely expressed the common inner depression and struggle of many intellectuals who were not able to meet their talents at that time. This kind of content and subject matter is the most suitable expression of Sao style Fu in the early Han Dynasty. Therefore, Ai Shi Ming completely imitates the form of Li Sao in general. Although there is not much innovative intention in art, it is more sincere and sincere in emotional catharsis, which is beyond the ordinary people's ability to moan without illness.

Native place dispute

There have always been different opinions about Zhuang Ji's native place. On the one hand, he was born in Wuxian County, Kuaiji (Suzhou, Jiangsu), on the other hand, he was born in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. According to the biography of Zou Yang in historical records, "Zou Yang is also a member of Qi Dynasty. He traveled in Liang Dynasty and made friends with Wu Renzhuang and Huaiyin Meisheng (Volume 83) preface to Sima Zhen's notes in Shi Ji Suoyin: Ji, Kuaiji person. According to the geography annals of the Han Dynasty, "Kuaiji county was established by the Qin Dynasty. In the sixth year of emperor Gaodi, it became the state of Jing, and in the twelfth year it was renamed Wu. " There are 26 counties in Kuaiji Prefecture, including Wu county (now Suzhou) and Youquan county (now Jiaxing). He is only called "Wu Ren" in historical books. This "Wu" may be the general name of the county where Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, renamed Jijun as Wu, or it may specifically refer to "Wu county" (Suzhou). Xiang Zhuan gives an explanation for this controversy: "Zhuang Ji, a native of Han Youquan (ancient Jiaxing). According to the historical records, the Zhuang family was a member of the kuiji Wu people. At that time, there were counties in Western Zhejiang in the Wu area. " That is to say, Zhuang Ji was born in Jiaxing. The ancients listed Zhuang Ji as a member of the kuiji Wu people because the Wu area included the counties in Western Zhejiang at that time.
