The Story of Jiang Lang's Exhausted Talent 1

Gu Zhi's "Shi Pin Jian" quoted Zhang Pu as saying: "Jiang Wentong was defeated by Liang Wu, and he was looking forward to his twilight years. He did not dare to use Wen Ling as the master. The same as Ming Yuan, who was ridiculed for his talents, Shen Xiuwen snickered at future generations. "

This means that Jiang Yan was afraid that Emperor Wu of Liang would be jealous, so he deliberately said that he was talented. Although, this kind of situation is not understood by future generations. Shen Yue will definitely laugh if he knows about it, because Shen Yue has such an experience.

"Southern History·Jiang Yan's Biography": "Yan Nai found a five-color pen in his arms and taught it to him. After that, he wrote poems with absolutely no beautiful lines, and people at the time said that his talent was exhausted." Jiang Yan followed suit. He took out a five-color pen from his arms and returned it to him (Guo Pu). It is said that from then on, Jiang Yan became exhausted and could no longer write any good articles.

Idiom Allusions In addition to the above stories, "Southern History" also records a similar story of "Suo Jin", which happened between Zhang Xie and Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan, whose courtesy name was Wentong in the Southern Dynasties, became a famous writer when he was young. His poems and articles were highly praised at that time.

However, when he got older, his articles were not only not as good as before, but also deteriorated a lot. His poems were bland and unremarkable; he held the pen for a long time and still could not write a single word. Occasionally, inspiration came; he wrote the poems, but the sentences were dry and the content was so bland that nothing could be read.

There is a legend that once Jiang Yan stopped by the river of Chanling Temple in a boat and dreamed of a man who called himself Zhang Jingyang. He asked him for a piece of silk and he took it out of his arms. Give him back a few feet of silk. Therefore, his articles will no longer be exciting.

It is also said that one time Jiang Yan was taking a nap in Yeting. He dreamed that a man who called himself Guo Pu came to him, asked him for a pen, and said to him: "Brother Wentong, I've had a pen with you for a long time, you should give it back to me now!" After hearing this, Jiang Yan took out a five-color pen from his arms and returned it to him.

It is said that from then on, Jiang Yan became exhausted and could no longer write any good articles.

In fact, it is not that Jiang Yan’s talent has been used up, but that after he became an official, on the one hand, he was busy with government affairs, and on the other hand, because of his successful career, he no longer needed to write pens by himself. . Over time, the article will naturally become inferior and lack talent.

2. Chinese literati have been famous for their talents since ancient times, but what made Jiang Yan famous throughout the ages was because "Jiang Lang's talents were exhausted". But it can be seen from Jiang Lang's experience that he is not really exhausted, but quite the opposite. Jiang Yan, who lost his father when he was young and came from a poor family. He used to collect salary to support his mother. He knows best what it feels like to be poor and humble.

After he became the censor Zhongcheng, he summed up his previous experiences and lessons, tried hard to avoid Guo Yanwen's shortcomings in writing and painting, and made a trick of returning the pen in a dream, in order to stop writing from now on. Even if I had no choice but to write it, I would just write a gorgeous chapter that fits the occasion, such as "The Emperor Qi's departure from Yaoji". The purpose is to please the king and survive in troubled times.

He transformed all his amazing literary talent into the wisdom of surviving in troubled times, although this is the wisdom of being a slave. Writing this, I can't help but think of Mr. Guo Moruo, who was once known as a literary giant.

3. If Jiang Yan's "Ode to Hate" and "Ode to Farewell" are masterpieces through the ages, then his "Returning to Dreams" is a unique masterpiece.

He was deeply aware of the king's specialization in thinking, and would rather bear the reputation of "a talentless man" and be ridiculed by future generations than get burned because of his writing. He once said to his disciples: "To be happy in life, you must be rich and noble.

My fame has been established, and I am about to return to the grassland." ("Book of Liang"), this may be his dream. The real reason for stopping writing. In fact, has Jiang Lang ever been so talented? After he stopped writing, Jiang Yan was still smart!

Since ancient times, Chinese literati have generally had three mentalities about social issues: first, they do not write about it unintentionally; second, they write intentionally but do not write thoroughly; third, they know it is inconvenient to write but do not write about it. Jiang Yan undoubtedly experienced these three mental and artistic conceptions, and finally gave up writing in order to seek a comfortable life. However, no matter how you say it, the personality under such a mentality is twisted. But this is not Jiang Yan's shame. The autocratic system doomed the literati themselves to tragedy.
