Who were the gifted scholars in ancient China?

Su Shi: The most talented great writer and artist in the cultural history of China is really an indescribable miracle in the cultural history. He made first-class achievements in the main mainstream cultural fields at that time, such as poetry and literati painting. Anyone who has made such achievements in one of these fields will be immortal. Su Shi is both wise and brave, which is really amazing! His prose, in particular, represents the highest achievement of China's classical literary prose and complements Sima Qian's historical prose in the Western Han Dynasty. I think that in the 5,000-year cultural history, there are many people who study harder, have more experience and have a more bumpy fate than Su Shi. But if they can have one tenth of Su Shi's achievements, they will be called geniuses only once in 500 years. Therefore, talent accounts for 99% of Su Shi's achievements, and diligence and others account for 1%. Such a genius only comes once every five thousand years, which is once in ten thousand years.

Li Bai: This madman and alcoholic, with his wild imagination and superhuman talent, made him the greatest romantic poet in the history of China literature. Li Bai and Su Shi are the most childlike geniuses in the history of literature, while Li Bai is more naive, free and dissolute. The word "poetry fairy" is really his most correct name. He is like a fairy who sings those graceful poems in space, making the 5,000-year-old poetry world his exclusive paradise. It's difficult to get through the Shu Road, sleepwalking in the sky, drinking wine, and 59 ancient poems. Those celestial quatrains are all the stars he picked casually. Li Bai is described in the following words: "Zi's article was written by people. When the earth opens, clouds evaporate and rain falls. Sowing everything is great. Ingenious nature, manpower and application? Another example is the long river, which is boundless. Ten thousand diarrhea, especially at the end. As for words, as for this. I am in a good mood and carry forward my greatness. "

Cao Xueqin: The great novelist who wrote the fantastic book A Dream of Red Mansions, although it is only more than 200 years away from modern times, has excavated less than one tenth of Li Bai's life information more than/kloc-0.000 years ago. However, this does not affect his becoming the rarest genius after Li Bai. It is no exaggeration to say that A Dream of Red Mansions is not only the history of China literature, but also the greatest novel in the history of world literature. Together, Sauron's three representative works will not be half as great as A Dream of Red Mansions. In a few hundred years, when China is revived to become the world's number one power, China culture becomes a world-class scholar, and Chinese becomes the most popular language in the world, the status of A Dream of Red Mansions as a world novel is bound to be recognized by the world. A Dream of Red Mansions is simply a complete character spectrum, a complete compilation of styles, an encyclopedia of life and an encyclopedia of history. Reading A Dream of Red Mansions once is equivalent to living the world again. With a novel, he became an outstanding scholar for 200 years. At all times and in all countries, only Cao Shi.

Qu Yuan: Qu Zi didn't want to be a poet, but he was forced to become a great poet. This politician, who became a poet by chance, made a few complaints because his political ambitions could not be put into practice, which opened the romantic poetry tradition of a great nation. Many writers deliberately want to open a school, but it is only a flash in the pan; And this haggard old man who cares about the country and people all day long has become a star in Wen Yuan, complaining, asking a few questions and singing a few sad songs. Li Sao, in particular, is still the greatest work in poetry. He couldn't find a decent poet for 500 years, but he was able to write the greatest poem in the whole literary history in his childhood. This skill can't be explained except by genius.

Xu Wei: This is a real mental derangement and a real all-round artist after Su Shi. His poetry, calligraphy, painting, and opera are widely read and have achieved great success, which can almost be compared with Dongpo. In particular, the unique painting style of freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting initiated by him reversed the position of flower-and-bird painting in the painting world, and finally became the mainstream variety of China painting in the past 400 years. Zheng Banqiao claimed to be Xu Wei's "running dog", and Qi Baishi's "hate not being born for three hundred years, grinding ink for the green vine". However, his life has been intertwined with poverty, disease, intrigue, suspicion, death and violence, and his life has been bumpy and his fate has been troubled. He began to learn painting in middle age, and began to devote himself to literary and artistic creation only after the publication of the case of killing his wife at the age of 53. In those crumbling houses, a man who turned from the south to the north spent the last twenty years of his life and reached a peak in the history of art. When reading Yuan Hongdao's Biography of Xu Wenchang, I often sigh: I have been jealous of talents since ancient times, but my nature cannot change!

Li Zhi: If China and the world embarked on the capitalist road in the Qing Dynasty, then Li Zhi will undoubtedly become Rousseau in China and Voltaire in the East. Four hundred years ago, this great thinker boldly put forward the idea of equality that "princes are equal to Shu Ren", pointing out that the essence of "loyalty to the monarch" is "ignorance" and requires the free development of human nature. He is the only master in China who has kept up with the world trend of thought for more than two thousand years since the thought of Qin and Han Dynasties was imprisoned.
