Liu Ling, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, is so talented, why didn t he become an offic

Because Liu Ling was extremely dissatisfied with some bureaucrats in the Wei State, he did not enter the court as an official, and he has always expressed his dissatisfaction with the Sima family by drinking and complaining.

Because Liu Ling advocates the rule of inaction and advocates the learning of Lao Zhuang. This was contrary to the political ideas of the rulers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and at the same time, Liu Ling was unwilling to be an official in the corrupt Eastern Jin Dynasty and not be in the same league as the villains.

Maybe it's because he yearns for the breeze and the moon, the mountains and rivers, and he doesn't allow the world to be disturbed in the court, and he doesn't want to be troubled by the case, so he chooses not to be an official in the court.

Because he couldn't accept the fact that the dynasty had changed at that time, he passively avoided the world, preferring to drink more than be an official.

Liu Ling once wrote <> poem to the effect that: I have no trace, no room, no curtain, indulge in whatever I want, whether I stop or walk, I drink with a wine glass at any time, but wine is a business, and I don't know the rest. I don't care what other people say.

I sleep when I'm drunk, and I wake up in a trance.

There is a well-known Chinese saying: people should not look good. And this question clearly does not follow this sentence.

I think there are two ways to look at this issue. First of all, why is he running naked? He was for no reason

Is the ground crazy on the road, eye-catching? No, he's not. Once, he joined the army under the Wang Rong shogunate, but because of policy reasons, everyone else was rewarded accordingly, and he was dismissed because he did nothing.

Later, the court recruited him to become an official, but Liu Ling was unwilling, but he was going to be killed if he resisted the order, so he thought of a way to get himself drunk, and then went out and ran around naked. In this case, the people of the court thought that he was crazy and incurable, so they did not let him become an official.

So we actually know very well that he just thinks of a way because he doesn't want to be an official, if he doesn't do something as outrageous as running naked, will the ** of the court believe him? So, this is just a ploy on his part, not crazy in itself.

Secondly, because he was naked and addicted to alcohol, could he not be sought after by future generations? We cannot deny the totality of a person because of some phenomena that we see with the naked eye. Liu Ling's streaking is visually inappropriate, and some people can't understand how such a vulgar person can be a poet, but in fact, Liu Ling is very talented, and his "Ode to Wine and Virtue" has been circulated in the world to this day, which is of great artistic significance.

Of course, in addition to being talented, I think personality is also a reason why people seek him, and this happens to be seen from running naked, he drinks to escape the world, has both courage and thought, and dares to pursue his ideal life, how can he not be sought after?

The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest are allThe children of the family have money and leisure, and there is nowhere to display their ambitions, so they indulge themselves, becoming the object of everyone's pursuit.

In general, everyone just envied them.

Liu Ling didn't really run naked because he was crazy, but because the emperor at that time asked him to join the army, he couldn't resist the order, so he came up with such a way to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Liu Yan couldn't change political affairs at that time, and he couldn't help but accept the olive branch handed to him by the imperial court, so he pretended to be crazy and stupid all day long, numb yourself with alcohol, so that you can save the life of the whole family.

In fact, this kind of thinking is completely abandoning the self, which is just a way to escape from the world.

The absurdity of his actions has never been just talking, but has permeated every detail of life.
