This book is not meant to belittle scholars. A wealthy family does not equal a scholar.

Regarding literati, a different word in many people’s mouths and impressions is more appropriate - villain. And the literati in my heart are Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Zhang Han, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Yong, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tianxiang, etc. Forgive me, I like Wei, Jin and Song Dynasty the most.

The word "literary" originally meant to be intertwined and combined with people. The original meaning was a person who could write well. As the times changed, it was given more and more meanings. However, I think the word "literati" refers to a person who is intricate and complex.

There is a saying that words are like the person they are. I would like to ask Cai Jing, Qin Hui, and Yan Song. Cai Jing is a master of calligraphy, and Qin Hui was an angry young man who generously served the country in his early years, but Yan Song left behind the saying: "Serve the country only with loyalty in life, and follow others in death."

"right and wrong" poem. Therefore, it is not advisable to completely identify these two political victims as traitors and traitors. My explanation is that this type of people themselves have contradictory personalities. On the one hand, they maximize their personal talents, and on the other hand, they

On the one hand, they seize personal rights to the extreme, and these people have extremely high IQs and can be described as geniuses in both power manipulation and artistic attainments.

Regarding the tragedy of literati, we have to start with Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was neither a party nor a group, so that the government and the public, and even his own students, were enemies of him. Although he was committed to the reform of enriching the country and strengthening the army, he failed because of this

Noble literati do not know how to seek personal gain, so they will not help others to gain benefits. However, if the reform does not benefit, there will be no supporters, so it failed. The previous reform of Gongsun Martingale of Qin State, although Gongsun Martingale is known as Taishi

He was naturally mean, but Mr. Gongsun's reforms were quite successful, because the new people who benefited from his policies were the new aristocrats who had military power. Although Mr. Gongsun was torn apart by a chariot, King Qin Huiwen had to implement Mr. Gongsun's line.

, continue to carry out reforms. This is a political tragedy. Literati are more likely to experience ups and downs in life, such as giving up without knowing their talent, enduring fame, singing in a low voice, etc. However, it is these tragedies that have made them successful.

There are more than tens of millions of officials whose names have been recorded in history, but everyone can remember a few, but these literati who lived a tragic life are familiar to everyone.

Su Shi, I don’t think it is a tragedy, because Su Shi did have the ability to govern local and national governments, but unfortunately he failed to reach a high position. Su Dongpo had a more optimistic character. Even though his life was bumpy, he never bowed to fate. Although he once

Writing "The boat passed away from now on, leaving the rest of his life in the river and sea" scared the state officials into thinking that he had committed suicide. In the Shenzong era when everyone began to tell lies, Su Dongpo was a truth-teller. When Wang Anshi was in power, he regarded him as an old party member.

He was suppressed, and later the old party came to power and liquidated the new party. He spoke uprightly, but was suppressed again as a new party. They all said that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of Shenzong. I think it is debatable. It is true that the Song Dynasty died at the hands of Shenzong. Shenzong wanted the courtiers to eat dogs. In the end

He acted dictatorially, but in the end he made the court a mess, leaving the descendants with a mess of endless party disputes. They only talked about factions but not right and wrong. Wen Tian and Wu were playful. From then on, the country was beyond redemption. From the time of Zhenzong and Renzong, the country was governed by a group of talents.

The Six Thieves in the Huizong era managed the country, and finally succeeded in killing the Song Dynasty.

Although I admire Su Shi very much, I can't do it. In addition to not having the talent and learning, the main reason is that I don't have his character. In fact, I am not qualified to be a scholar. Compared with the sages, the gap is more than nine heavens. I am just a little arty and antique sometimes.

I am only at the level of limericks. People must be self-aware.

Some people think that literati always have some minor problems or hobbies that are different from ordinary people, such as those who like to steal rice, and those who like prostitutes, drink alcohol and take Wushisan, etc. This was a kind of spiritual indulgence in ancient times.

After all, the ancients did not have video games or KTV, etc. It was not as casual as in the TV series, which was all nonsense. But today, we are already a modern civilization, and individual behavior cannot exceed the scope of the collective code of conduct. Too much promotion of individuality is actually harmful to

It is of no benefit to others. What's more, many people only see Liu Ling and Li Bai's addiction to alcohol, but do not see their more wonderful words and deeds; many people only know that some literati have some romantic affairs in brothels, but do not see them.

I found that these people were more upright, kind, and righteous than people today. If any man who had been in high-end entertainment clubs fell down today, many beauties would collect money to bury him and arrange for his aftermath? These people first have real talents and knowledge, and secondly

There are some colors in life. He can drink more than Li Bai, but Li Bai is the only one. He is much happier in the brothel than Liu Yong, but Liu Yong is only one.
