Brief introduction of Jia Yi's life

Jia Gaodi was born in Luoyang (the seat of the county government of Henan Province) in the seventh year. He studied and discussed the truth of The Book of Songs and The Classic from an early age, and his writing style was very beautiful. At the age of eighteen, he was famous and appreciated in the county. He was called to the door by the Wu Palace, the prefect of Henan Province, and became the guest of the prefect.

When Jia Yi was 22 years old, Emperor Wendi ascended the throne, and he was promoted to Wu Gong, the chief of Henan Province, and Ting Wei. Jia Yi was also recommended as a doctor by Wu Gong, who was the youngest doctor employed by the Han government at that time. Jia Yi always has incisive opinions, and Wendi appreciates him very much. A year later, he was promoted to doctor Taizhong.

Based on Confucianism and the Five Elements Theory, Jia Yi designed a whole set of etiquette system in Han Dynasty to further replace the Qin system, and advocated "the new moon is positive, the color is easy to suit, the law is established, and the ceremony and music are promoted". Emperor Wendi didn't adopt it.

178 years ago, Emperor Wendi of Chinese wanted to appoint Jia Yi as a public office, which was opposed by bureaucrats and imperial clan. Prime Minister Jiang Hou, Dongyang Xiangru, Feng Jing and other ministers wrote against it, saying that Jia Yi "just entered Luoyang and was authoritarian in insurrection". Jia Yi often laughs at China Wendi's favorite Deng Tong in court.

In the fourth year of Emperor Wendi (BC 176), Jia Yi was released as a teacher of Changsha King, assisting the King Wu of Changsha. On the way to Changsha, Jia Yi was dissatisfied with the relegation, and heard that the climate in Changsha was wet and rainy, thinking that she would die early. He is pessimistic and disappointed. When crossing the Xiangjiang River, he wrote "Diaoqu" and spent more than three years moving to the left in Changsha.

When I was a teacher in Changsha for three years, an ominous ostrich flew into the house, and Jia Yi wrote a poem on the ostrich. "Ode to Hanging Qu Yuan" and "Ode to Catching Birds" are his representative works of Sao Fu.

In the seventh year of Emperor Wendi (BC 173), Emperor Wendi suddenly remembered Jia Yi, called Jia Yi back to Chang 'an, asked ghosts and gods, and sat down before midnight. Then he said, "I haven't seen Jia Sheng for a long time. I feel that I have gone too far. I might as well go now."

Later generations have disputes about this matter; Li Shangyin was unfair to Jia Yi, and a poem said that "a poor night is empty, and Mo Wen people ask ghosts and gods", lamenting that Jia Sheng was not reused. Soon, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty made Jia Yi the teacher of his beloved son Liang Wang Liu Yi. During this period, Jia Yi mainly wrote political comments, expressed his views and remonstrated with Emperor Wen.

"Public Security Policy" and "On Accumulation and Sparse Storage" are his representative works at this time. His political essays are influenced not only by the ancient prose of strategists in the Warring States period, but also by the rigorous argumentation style of legalist Han Feizi and others. They are eloquent and brilliant. Therefore, Jia Yi's Ci and Fu can be described as the inheritance of Qu Yuan and Song Yu, Mei Cheng and Sima Xiangru, and it is an important bridge for the transition from Chu Ci to Han Fu.

In the 11th year of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty (BC 169), King Liang fell from a horse and died, and was buried in his arms. He was known as King Huai of Liang in history. Jia Yi thinks that she didn't do a good job of counseling the prince. She cried all day and died of depression the next year at the age of 33.

brief introduction

Jia Yi (200 BC-65438 BC+068 BC), a native of Luoyang (now east of Luoyang, Henan), was a famous political commentator and writer in the early Western Han Dynasty, and was called Jia Sheng. Jia Yi is a rare talent. At the age of eighteen, he was considered a good writer in the county.

Wendi was a doctor at that time, and later moved to be a doctor in Taizhong. He was pushed out by ministers Zhou Bo and Guan Ying and was promoted to be the teacher of King Changsha, so later generations also called Jia Changsha and Jia Taifu. Three years later, he was recalled to Chang 'an to be the teacher of Liang Huaiwang. Liang fell off his horse and died. Jia Yi was deeply sorry and died of depression at the age of 33. Sima Qian sympathized with both Qu Yuan and Jia Yi, and wrote a joint biography for them, so later generations often referred to Jia Yi and Qu Yuan as "Qu Jia".

Jia yi's works are mainly prose and ci fu, which are deeply influenced by Zhuangzi and Liezi? . The main literary achievements of prose are political essays, commenting on current politics, simple style and vivid discussion. Lu Xun called it "Hong Wen of the Western Han Dynasty", and his masterpieces include On Qin, On Accumulation and Storage, and Chen Zheng's Poems.

His Ci and Fu are both in Sao style, and tend to be scattered in form, which is the forerunner of the development of Han Fu, especially Qu Yuan Fu and Fei niao Fu.

achievement

Although Jia Yi died young, his literary talent and knowledge were admired by later generations. Sima Qian wrote biographies of Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng in Historical Records. Han Shu also has Biography of Jia Yi. Later, scholars gave him a lot of comments. In the Tang Dynasty, Pei Du sent a letter to Li Ao: "It is obvious that Jia Yi's article was turned into words, paving the way for Emperor Wang Zhidao."

Bai Yang, a Taiwan Province writer, once wrote in his translation of Zi Tong Zhi Jian: "The original text of public security policy is no longer available. In the remnants, Sima Guang excerpted what he thought was important, and even the' six sighs' could not be complete. "

Jia Yi's Thought of Attaching Importance to Agriculture

Jia Yi pointed out in "On Accumulation and Sparse Storage": "It is a great disability in the world to transport roots and end up eating more; The unbridled custom is the biggest thief in the world.

The thief is on duty, so stop it; Life will be saved, so don't really save it. Jia Yi believes that the "end" of industry and commerce has corrupted social customs. He advocates suppressing the end and consolidating the foundation. "Today's farmers who drive people back are all based on inheritance, so that the world can eat it with its own strength. Those who have food at the end of their skills turn to nanmu, and then they accumulate enough to be happy. "

Jia Yi's book "Suggestions on Casting Money" puts forward the opposition to privately casting money, and advocates that the copper industry should be nationalized, the right to cast money should be unified, and the standard "legal tender" should be stipulated, so as to increase fiscal revenue.
