Abstract

"Seven Sages" or the name derived from the Xie family's described, is written for the Yuan Hong, Sun Sheng, "Wei Spring", "Jinyang Autumn" then submitted the throne. Wei celebrities high value of importance of friendship, for example: "Shi • Jane Pride" set said: "Ji Kang and Lv Anshan, each Acacia, Trinidad Mingjia" Xi Yuan Ji Kang Lvan testify, they are being led murder and died. Bamboo Forest due to personality, talent, taste of life as well as many other similar trouble at times, the sense of friendship between each pass. Although the Seven Sages of both "friendship" of the articles in undisturbed, however, as I intended to historical data, to tease out the interaction between seven friendship. Not only that, the text between the Seven Sages seek to forget they are able to year-end parties of interest, between "grok meaning deeds" mutual "made its high addressed to the" condensed into the speculative implied by the concept of friendship, to be set off out into seven card Yin been sympathetic, Yijiejinlan, is Kuromasa and deed excellent combination of deep affection, the text is divided into and Ruan Ruan Xian, Liu Ling; JI, Nguyen; JI, Nguyen and Shan Tao; Ji Kang and to show four groups, the end the conclusion is summed up with the general principles of the Seven Sages of the friendship concept. The title of "seven sages" was invented by Xie An or his family, recorded by Yuan Hong, and published in Sun Sheng's Wei's Records of the Spring and Autumn and Autumn of Jinyang. The worthies of the Wei-Jin Period treasured the noble value of friendship; for instance, as recorded in New Account of Tales of the World , Ji Kang testified to Lu An's innocence, which caused the murder of them both. Due to the similarities in their personalities, talents, styles and their distresses brought by the times, a sense of camaraderie was developed among the seven sages. Though there are no surviving monographs on friendships by them, here the writer intends to clarify their friendship based on historical documents. Furthermore, this article is also meant to highlight the seven sages' implicit views on friendships, as their friendship and spiritual compatibility regardless of age, gains and looses are the results of their metaphysical thought. We try to attribute their brotherly love to their like-mindedness in metaphysics and feelings. Here they are analyzed in four groups: first, Ruan Ji, Ruan Xian and Liu Ling; second, Ji Kang and Ruan Ji; third, Ji Kang, Ruan Ji and Shan Tao; and forth, Ji Kang and Xiang Xiu. Finally, we will conclude with the seven sages' general views on friendship
