Gu Kaizhi, who gradually entered a better state of the two Jin Dynasty, five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the national painting culture was greatly developed, and Chinese paintings in the true sense appeared, and they were developed and improved in terms of painting forms, painting theories, painting techniques, etc., laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of Chinese painting art in later generations. During this period, there were paintings such as Gu Kaizhi, Dai Kui, Yang Zihua, and Cao Zhongda.

Focus on Gu Kaizhi. Gu Kaizhi was erudite and versatile, good at poetry, calligraphy, and especially good at painting, and was known as the "Three Absolutes" at that time, that is, painting absolute, literary absolute and obsessive. But I think two of the three are counted, and his real absolute is the painting. His most famous painting is "Roselle Futu", which is a painting of Cao Zhi's literary work "Roselle Fu". Gu Kaizhi's paintings are all portraits, historical figures, Taoist interpretations, animals, landscapes and other subjects.

Why is it called "infatuation"? Because this person is always thinking, it makes people feel demented. It is dementia, and there are many jokes, but the jokes of the ancient literati are all elegant drops, and add an idiom of "gradually getting better" to the treasure house of Chinese idioms.

One day, Gu Kaizhi followed Huan Wen to Jiangling for an inspection, and local officials came to see Huan Wen and brought local sugar cane. Huan Wen was very happy to see it and said, "The sugarcane here is very famous, and everyone is fortunate to be able to taste it." So, everyone began to eat sugar cane, and constantly praised sugar cane as sweet and delicious. Only Gu Kai looked at the river with a sense of surprise and did not have the heart to take the sugar cane. Huan Wen saw that he was out of his mind, so he deliberately picked a very long sugar cane and gave the tip of the sugarcane to Gu Kaizhi, and Gu Kaizhi did not pay attention and began to nibble it. Huan Wen saw Gu Kaizhi's eating appearance, laughed, and said, "Is sugar cane sweet?" The people around them also laughed and said, "Our sugar cane is sweet, I don't know how Gu joined the army's sugar cane?" At this time, Gu Kaizhi returned to his senses and saw that he was eating the tip of a sugar cane, and only then did he know why they were laughing at themselves. He lifted up the sugar cane and said, "You don't know how to eat sugar cane at all. Everyone saw that he replied so seriously, and smiled and said, "Then how do you say to pay attention to the Fa?" Gu Kaizhi said: "You ate such a sweet part at the beginning, and then the more you ate, the less sweet it became, and finally you were sick to your stomach." And I started eating from the top, and finally became sweeter and sweeter, which is called 'getting better'. "Don't you say, there is really a philosophy."

Life is like this, some people are young and promising, but the elderly are lonely, lonely, and sad. And some people are young, bad luck and bad fate, but when they are old, they can always run and be lucky. First sweet and then bitter, the last aftertaste is bitter, first bitter and then sweet, the last aftertaste is sweet, the best life is like Gu Kaizhi eating sugar cane "gradually entering a better state".
